Grand total of 9005 miles. It was more than wonderful and we'd do it again next week if we had the points. But that day will come since we charge everything but laundromat change on our AGR Mastercard. It's like a game to us now, plus we get POINTS. Whee!^
Yep - long distance trains on points is the way to go.
