Decisions decision

I have this friend in Virginia Beach(Abby), truly it is my best friend. She misses me soooo much and she is offering to pay for me to take a trip to see her. An Amtrak will cost about $125, but it'll take an entire day. I want to do it. I know that plans fail for lack of advice so if anyone has an opinion on this, I would love to hear it. I miss my friend so much.
