We left Quebec City at 6 AM on our way to New York City via Montreal. It was my first train ride. I've been traveling by plane in the US for 30 years, and have seen the food go from reasonable to horrible, airline employees go from happy to surly, airport security go from somewhat inconvenient to completely ridiculous and the overall experience of plane travel go from enjoyable to barely endurable.
