We're thinking of skipping the toys etc. this Christmas and getting the kids a short trip on the train instead. It will be their first trip. We never did go on the other trip we had hoped for. Our closest origination city is NOL. What are your suggestions for a short ride (can't afford sleepers for all 7 of us) and a one or two night stayover somewhere. I'm concerned about the logistics of car rental and hotels. Do major stations have rental car desks there? We're thinking of Houston, Memphis, Atlanta - something like that. We'd like to do the zoo or some other thing when we get there. My main question I guess is the ease of renting a car at the stations in these cities and the proximities of attractions/hotels.
