I work in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The home office is in Seattle, Washington. I've made it clear at work that I'm not about to fly to the Seattle office [1] (not that I've ever needed to, but others in my office have). On a lark, I decided to see what it would cost to travel by train. On the plus side, there is train service between Ft. Lauderdale and Seattle. On the down side, it cost about $2,000 one-way. No way my company would spring for a ticket than costs more than first class air line ticket, but I wouldn't have mined the week travel one-way, as long as there was decent Internet connectivity (so I could continue to work).

[1] I don't have a fear of flying. I don't fly because of the security theater and the "presumed guilty" attitude. Also because of the declining comfort and service because people are prioritize the bottom line. It sucks.
