Arriving back in #Orlando after a long loop through South Florida, about 18 minutes later than the scheduled ETA. A fun, fast-paced and historic journey on the rails with #Brightline that will be long remembered. #OBJBrightline

Just north of Melbourne, and I just discovered another bank of outlets between the seats. In the jockeying between #Brightline trains, planes and automobiles, score this one solidly for the trains. #OutletsToSpare #OBJBrightline

A little over 100 miles from our destination in #Orlando , and the #Brightline train is stopped over a crossing malfunction. Our chances of arriving on time (4:19 p.m.) appear slim. #OBJBrightline – at Florida Ridge, FL

Just south of the bridge over the St. Lucie Canal, and an annouwas just made that we’re running slow because of a speed restriction. #OBJBrightline

Just spoke with Peter Vansiclen, from Fort Lauderdale, who’s headed to a convention in #Orlando. Excited to be on #Brightline, but there were some bumps getting here. #OBJBrightline – at Florida, USA

The #Brightline train is between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, and the wifi again is pretty spotty. Coming south this morning, this the leg where I had to make several posts via cellular. #OBJBrightline

As soon as I hit “send” on that last tweet, a half-dozen or so folks got up to depart in Fort Lauderdale. #WaitTillTheTrainStops #OBJBrightline

Getting ready to depart on the 12:46 p.m. return trip to #Orlando , and this #Brightline train is considerably more full than the one that left Orlando at 6:45 this morning. #OBJBrightline – at Miami, FL

Enjoying the layover in #Miami before the return to #Orlando , and I’m hungry. Funny thing is, there are no eateries open at 11 am (not the bar) behind security at the #Brightline station, and the food court is shuttered. So it’s a really tasty latte downstairs. #OBJBrightline – at Miami, FL

The speed the #Brightline train is traveling is considerably slower in South Florida, hugging the rails as we push through mostly urban settings between Fort Lauderdale and Aventura. #OBJBrightline – at Hollywood, FL

You can count on the Orlando Business Journal to cover all the bases of business travel, including a peek at the bathrooms. #Brightline is high tech on this front, with hand dryers built into the faucet. #HandsWashed #OBJBrightline – at Pompano Beach, FL
