Now that night train might make sense, but...give up on Acela. I can't fathom the attraction if you are going DC-Boston.
Independence Air, on the other hand, is excellent. Quick, easy, low stress, and high on flexibility. An absolute winner.
I'm beginning to think that Indy Air is going to have a big hand in making this possible for me. Their flight prices are cheap cheap cheap and the fact that they are at terminal A at IAD makes getting to them THAT much easier.
The only real question I have right now is which flights to pick and whether or not hotels will be a big part of this mix during all or part of my little adventure. I'm almost attracted to the idea of staying up all night (being the night owl that I am).
Of course, I also like sleeping like the dead.
