After settling in, the TikToker grabbed some coffee and enjoyed the view outside. Outside the window, he showed viewers the coastal scenery and the highway he said he would have been navigating had he driven.
For dinner, the TikToker headed to the dinner lounge where he indulged in a variety of dishes including a salad, steak and veggies, and a blueberry cheesecake for dessert. After a hearty meal, he decided to turn in for the night.
When he got to his cabin, the bed was already neatly made with a comfy blanket waiting for him. After a good night’s rest, the TikToker visited the dining hall for breakfast. He was seen eating a banana, roast potatoes, a quiche, and some coffee.
The trip concluded with footage of a sunset over a lake, the image reflected in the water below.
After arriving in Florida, he waited for his car to be unloaded from the train before driving away. But not before prompting his followers with a question: “Would you try this or just drive?”
While some were shocked to learn about the option others debated on whether or not they’d give it a try in light of the TikToker's move.
