People like me who are scared of water and can't swim will NEVER try water skiing!

Quite a few people have been hurt water skiing, but not me, because I've never been (although I did try once, but I could get up on the skis).

Rare as it would be, shark attacks could happen to water skiers.

Soon (tomorrow) I will be going on a train for the first time. But I will be all alone and it's a five hour ride... It's going to be terribly lonely

Trains can be quite fun to ride on, so I hope you have a good experience.

Ugh, but rides on the train can be tedious when you have to be on them for a week.

Vehicular speaking, it is one of the most interesting ways to travel!

Well, just as long as I don't end up in front of a moving train, I'm happy.

X-ray machines aren't used in train depots, like they are in airports, are they?

Young travelers may enjoy the novelty of a train trip, though a cross-country one might be too long for toddlers.

Zipping through the country on a train is fun, but trains now seem to be victims of graffiti more than they are rides for people.

Amtrak serves over 500 travel destinations in 30 plus routes across North America for travelers, according to the official site.

But it is very hard to sleep in those seats, especially if one's sister is using one for a pillow.

Can't be worse than an extremely long plane ride, at least in a train you can stand up and walk around.

Dining in the dining car is a blast--eating your food while going through towns and seeing people waiting in their cars for the train to pass--what an experience!!!!
