Many others needed help to get on and off the train. I breezed by, my carry-on balanced on my rolling bag, reminding myself of my friend at Mont St. Michel. I did it. And so can you. Before we get into how to's, let's talk about train travel for a moment.
Trains are great for adventuring.
They evoke images of the Orient Express. There's time to gaze out the window, read, daydream. You can walk to the dining car for lunch, make new friends, indulge in a beer if you feel like it. After all, you're on vacation, and you're not driving. You can look out the window and relax.
