Yeah it can be, Tina, but not business travel when you have to get there and 
get home. Try Amtrak's California Zephyr, Chicago to San Francisco, timed to 
leave chicago mid-afternoon, overnight across the Iowa-Nebraska-Colorado 
plains, Denver for breakfast, climbing through and across the Colorado 
Rockies the first full day, Salt Lake City at dinner time, Utah-Nevada desert 
the second night and the Donner Pass and the Sierra Nevada Mountains the 
second full day. Movies in the club car and a decent dining car with 
fresh-cooked meals. 

Or VIA from Vancouver to Calgary or Edmonton. Gorgeous. 

Or transatlantic on whatever ship is available (I think only QE2 is regularly 
scheduled now).

But it ain't easy and it ain't inexpensive.
