I'd always manage to come out with a profit, due to scrounging around to find the absolute best food deals. I'm glad you survived the plane rides. Really, they're not that comfortable for anyone, and I'd imagine much less so for you. The train is better by leaps and bounds. When I took the train from Santa Barbara, CA to Vancouver, BC, I had a luxuriously spacious seat with copious amounts of legroom and no one sitting beside me. They also had a very nice observation car where you could go just to sit and look out the windowed sides of the car, or chat with other passengers. It's not as fast as a plane, but the trip is so much more enjoyable. I loved per diem when I was on travel for work.
