i 'm going on a long train ride tomorrow ! from south carolina to new york ! i 'm just going to see an old college friend for a couple of days , but i 'm just as pumped about the train ride , because i 've never been on one before ! they seem so peaceful and charming . that seems like a short train ride compared to say , going across country or something ! are you going to be sleeping on it overnight ? yeah , i am . i did n't even know they did across-the-country train rides ... those would be cool . or maybe they would get boring because you 'd start to feel cramped ? who knows . it just always seems like when you hear about trains in movies and tv , they have this romantic quality about them . maybe it 's because they feel like they 're from a different era they really do feel that way ! there 's actually a train in africa , i want to say kenya ? where it is like stepping back in time and you go on a week long journey on the train , you have to dress fancy and it seems like a dream come true . oh man that sounds like a really cool idea . thanks for telling me about that .. sometimes it 's surprising the creative things people come up with
The mention of a unique train journey experience in Africa that allows passengers to relive the past sparked excitement.
