Train Travel - Page 2

Heh, I started to say I've got one and don't travel there either.

For many years, I dreamed of taking the American Orient Express Antebellum Tour. Expensive as shit, but the most amazing, high-luxe historical tour of everything between DC/New Orleans a body could hope for.

I'm so depressed to find out that the AOE went out of business in 2008. I used to get their trip catalogs every year in the mail, and pored over every page, word by word. I never really thought about why I no longer received the catalogs. Now I know why. For years, I hoped that someday I'd have enough money to take the tour, but W's 2008 wipe-out of the economy apparently killed the whole thing.

Fuck.

Of course, my experience on a train trip from Portland OR to Simi Valley CA was such a fucked-up thing (contracted pneumonia) that my enthusiasm for train travel is well dampened. But still . . .

I WANT TO RIDE THE AOE!!!!

Don't put off till tomorrow what you can't afford today.
Use your credit, go out on a limb, it's the American way.

Are these London canal boat rides hosted in boats?

Then I'm doubtful.

Also, are these London canal boat rides in America?

Then I'm doubtful.

Will there be other people on these London canal boat rides?

Then I'm doubtful.

Will there be anyone besides me driving these London canal boat rides?

Then I'm doubtful.

Maybe you bought it as a gift for someone else?

At the very end I was wandering around the house making sure I hadn't missed any random stashes of books, and I discovered a clothes hamper with about 50-100 softcore romance novels shoved inside. I decided to pretend I hadn't found it.
