[i]Amtrack is expensive. Jet Blue and Spirit are offering $100 round trip flights. Why take the train?
Funny you should post this! Right after I read the thread- I checked out Amtrak. The ride would take overnight and for 3 tickets cost $376 and that was with 2 children fares- that made it just over $125/person.

To fly in 3 hours was $150 and this for next June. Let'see overnight with 6 children or 3 hours (with their own TV's), hum, which one will we choose?

The other thing that urked me was I couldn't -even if I wanted to book through Amtrak because there website rules are 1 adult for every 2 children. I have 6 children- so I would have to call a travel agent or pay adult fare for 2 of my children- Sorry but things like that urk me! At least the Airlines don't offer kid tickets for Domestic travel so I can book 8 tickets at once.
