Get a plane ticket. Seriously.

If you take the train from NYC to Tampa, you will basically stop at every station along the way from NYC to DC.

i really don't want to fly, and now i've got it down to lower than the cheapest ticket. Plus these prices shouldn't go up like the plane tickets do.

I really hate flying. Less chance of dying on a train. Plus I think it would be fun to try once.

And the train ride is a lot longer than ten hours....
