Option 1: Eagle Soar (Airplane)
- Speed Demon: This is your fastest option, clocking in at around an hour and a half. Perfect if you're channeling your inner Top Gun and need to get to D.C. yesterday.
- Cash Cow: Be prepared to loosen your purse strings a bit. Plane tickets can range from "reasonable" to "ouch, that's a second mortgage."
- Pro Tip: Book in advance, especially if you're on a budget. Also, if you're lucky, you might snag a window seat and pretend you're a millionaire on a private jet (eyeglasses not included).
Option 2: Iron Steed (Train)
- Scenic Route: Sit back, relax, and watch the world whiz by (well, not literally whiz by, this is a train, not a warp drive). Enjoy a leisurely trip with beautiful views and maybe even crack open a good book (or scroll through endless memes, we don't judge).
- Time Traveler: The train takes about 3-4 hours, so be prepared to entertain yourself. Pack some snacks, download some shows, or strike up a conversation with your neighbor (unless they're wearing a suspicious trench coat and muttering about pigeons, then maybe politely avert your gaze).
- Budget Buddy: Generally cheaper than flying, especially if you snag a good deal. Plus, you don't have to deal with the hassle of airport security (no more questionable pat-downs, woohoo!).
Option 3: Road Warrior (Bus)
- Frugal Flyer: This is the most budget-friendly option, but it also takes the longest (around 5 hours). Think of it as a mini-adventure with built-in sightseeing (although the view might be questionable at times).
- BYOB (Bring Your Own Board Games): Prepare to entertain yourself, or become BFFs with your seatmate (just make sure they shower regularly, this is a long haul).
- Comfy Clothes Champion: Dress for comfort, because sitting for that long can feel like an eternity. Leg warmers optional, but highly encouraged for peak 80s nostalgia.
Remember: No matter which option you choose, factor in travel time to the airport or train station, as well as potential delays.

- Time vs. Money: Consider your priorities. Need to get there ASAP? Fly. On a tight budget? Bus it up, baby!
- Comfort is King (or Queen): Think about how long you can handle being cooped up. Trains offer a nice middle ground.
- The Social Butterfly or the Introverted Wanderer: Do you crave conversation, or do you need some peace and quiet to recharge? Choose your transportation method accordingly (unless you strike up a conversation with a fellow traveler on the bus, then all bets are off).
