Matt and Renee's final gift to us was a trip on the Maglev Train to the airport. Total time from start to finish? From taxi ride to airport, perhaps 30 minutes. The train ride itself? Less than 7 minutes. Awesome. We didn't quite reach maximum speed, which is above 300 mph.
Here are the photos and a few videos. The second video takes as long as the train ride itself. Incredible.

The motley crew.
CC and mini CC.
If you're in a hurry, this video shows 30 seconds of the ride.
This You Tube video takes as long as the entire trip!
Want to know how Maglev Trains work? Here's a link to "How Stuff Works." Patje, you will find this fascinating.
And here's a simpler article about the Maglev. We need one in the States!
