It's not every day that a small boy gets to visit the big city by himself. But that's just what happened 77 years ago to young Ernest R. Hoytt Jr. of Dover, New Hampshire.
Gas prices and airports or a month-long Amtrak pass? I guess it depends on where you want to go and what kind of time you have. Whether its visiting friends, family, or just going on an adventure, see if this train thing tickles your fancy.
I love when businesses do this. Celebrate their anniversaries and birthdays with cheap pricing that gives you and I a chance to experience something we may not normally do. In this case, the Amtrak Downeaster is selling roundtrip tickets for 20 bucks. That's so inexpensive and worth the price to do a bit of car-free traveling along the route.
