Here comes the train!
We headed out of Orlando around Noon to head to Sanford [ 45 miles?]. That is where the Autotrain is based.
[ Not the Orlando Amtrak station! ] 
Eric and I were looking forward to taking the train. It seemed to be a good way to end the vacation by
cutting out the driving and doing something fun at the same time. 
The auto train has three fare tiers:
First tier gets you on the train,
the next tier gets your car or van on the train
the next optional tier[s] get you out of steerage and into first class digs!
I think the rates were fairly reasonable $650 basically got us and the van on the train. 
That included a deluxe room for Eric and I
[ that was a surprise for eric when we got on the train.. ]
The deluxe room included a shower and toilet and 2 bunks and our dinner and breakfast. 
After we dropped our stuff in our room - we headed down to the lounge car for a wine tasting before the train departed.
