Yeah, thats true. My friend comes from Tampa and says the city is in many parts. Also, public transit is terrible in FL, so how do you plan on getting around. Is Mom/dad going to drive with an international license.

. I just want to consider factors you are up against. Always better to be a prepared traveler, you know.

Hope you have a fun trip Mac .

Here in NJ, Intercity trains do 125 mph. A 60 mile trip from Trenton to NYC takes 39 minutes by Amtrak NEC .

Commuter trains are limited to 75 mph, and take on average 52 minutes to reach the city from where I live (40 miles southwest of NYC).

Buses to NYC take 53 minutes + 12 minute car ride to the bus station.

Station is walkable from my house.

Naw they actually do like 90mph. But it is good for the size of my country.

I think in England its far better.

There are more people in my English county than in all of Northern Ireland - there is more demand for rail travel here, so yes, I would be inclined to agree.
