Take a Train Trip...Without Booking Hotels

The U.S. was built by rail travel, so seeing the nation by train is an exciting spin on the classic road trip (Bonus: No one needs to drive, and you won't have to stop for bathroom breaks every hour!). Sites like airbnb.com and apps like Hotel Tonight have made it easy for travelers to plan affordable, on-the-fly trips almost anywhere. (Tip: Ask AirBnB hosts to make special offers to you for last-minute bookings, or book day-of on Hotel Tonight for an awesome deal.) Bored over a weekend? Hop on a train in your local city and see where it takes you!
