Nothing prepared me for Brightline, the train that travels between Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. And I've been on my share of trains from Singapore and India to Europe and of course the USA. It was an important part of a perfect day trip from Miami (or from Fort Lauderdale) to Palm Beach that included a fascinating new discovery, an exhibit by famed photographer Edward Steichen, gourmet lunch in an elegant outdoor courtyard, a beautiful "winter" day, great friends, and all with comfort, convenience, and totally hassle free.
