RE: On our way to "weird"!
It seems strange to me to drive 4 hours and then take 2 flights to stay in the same country, but that shows how big the US is. Flying can be a hassle, but sometimes it's the easiest option. I know your rail network is not so great.

It's nuts right?! Yeah, our railroads suck. Probably okay for freight and cargo, but for passengers it just isn't an option. I really hate flying, but in this case it would have been a multi-day trip to get down to Texas.
My parents did a rail trip across the US and some Americans on that had never been on a train. We took one from Providence to NYC and it was pretty slow. The trains are fairly good here and better in other parts of Europe. But then I saw @revisesociology write about people taking day trips by air as it's so cheap.
