I don't think I could endure it.

But the bloke who can't use the internet has got a seat. Poetic justice.

It is the "Year of the Penguin" in Antarctica ... where we all verture far down the hallway in the dorm, and all gather round the coal fired stove, and drink egg nog, and eat fruit cake, and sing the Antarctic National Anthem, while playing Trainz on a 72" Plasma TV.

I guess it depends on where your seat is. If I was stuck in the Terminal 1/15th of that time, I would be gone.

On the other hand, if I was on the Train in a private 1st Class bedroom, then things may have been, well better. Specially if was next to the Dining/Bar wagen.

For a minute, I thought you meant that someone had to stand for 20 hours on an Amtrak train.
