Between the security inspections, the limitations of liquids in
carry-ons, and the new rules about luggage, flying is not fun.

I am going on a cruise in October, so I checked with Amtrak, and yes I
can travel from Louisiana to Florida this way;
Louisiana-Texas-Newark-Florida, and this takes 3 days. Nevermind.

One airline I like, is Allegiant. They added some leg room by removing
a few rows of seats, so you are not sitting so close to the people in
front of you. They do not make connecting flights, though.
