One thing you can do is cd into the directory where kitchen-vagrant
writes the Vagrantfile and run vargant commands. So you can do something
like:

    cd .kitchen/kitchen-vagrant/default-ubuntu-1204
    vagrant rsync

You can also set the VAGRANT_CWD environment variable but that will be
less useful if you have more than one box going in your kitchen setup.

Usually, kitchen converge is enough for me (don't need the explicit
create). Also for me, on an OS X laptop, I can suspend the laptop and my
vm is ok.

But as described above, I've done vagrant suspend/resume and had that
work.
