The Big Journey is the seventh episode of the fifth season of the HBO television series Sex and the City. It originally aried on September 1, 2002.

I've always wanted to take a train. You never know who's going to be getting on — and getting me off.

Carrie goes to California to promote her book, hoping to casually bump into Big. Samantha accompanies Carrie, who has booked a 'Delux suite' on the train, as part of their journey adventure. The train turns out to be extremely small, and uncomfortable. On the journey, Samantha worries that she is unattractive because a group of married men show her no attention, and Carrie feels that she cannot go and see Big because of a pimple on her face. Charlotte sleeps with her lawyer, Harry Goldenblatt, whom she finds very unattractive, but incredible in bed! When Carrie arrives in California nothing is how she imagined: she is the support act to a dog at a Book-reading, and Mr Big does not want to sleep with her, because he worries that that will only cause trouble for her, after reading her book.
