Normally when I think of environmentally friendly travel my mind drifts off to hammocks on a beach and exotic countries far away. Never would I have thought about a train trip from New York to New Orleans. But there's a company who specialized in Sustainable Travel who has some pretty unique ideas about the environment.

My husband gave me a trip to New Orleans (that we're not taking for another several months). When I saw this ad, I filled out their form to get more information about extending our trip to include a train ride from New Orleans to New York. It travels through 12 states and takes about a day. Perfect birthday present right back at him right?
