The train was very long...30 hours! I thought we would all go crazy, but we were just fine. It was a bonding experience. We had an unforgettable experience. We only had a few things to do in the deathly quiet car of the train, we had game boys (that we borrowed from friends), MP3s, CDs, books, movies, and sisters to have fun with for 30 hours. All the sleep that had been lost had been recovered on the train.
