DH & I will catch the train to New Orleans tonight. This will be a first sleeping on a bed in the train, I probably will be awake most of the night. We've flown in the past, but have spent a lot of our vacation time in airports waiting for weather to clear. This way we'll see if we want to take a longer train trip in the future - the room looks really small, but at least we'll have our own bathroom. Weather in mid-IL is going back to high 40s next week, so I am REALLY glad to be going someplace warm. See you next weekend.

jacquie that sounds like such fun. i read the book christmas train,by balducci and ever since then i ve been daydreaming about a train trip.at the age of 18 our graduating high school class,not all,took a train trip to washington dc west virginia ending in new york city. we went thru the applaician mountains..of course the train itself..the old b and o express..was a piece of junk!! literally..there was very little heat the toilets overflowed and no one slept at all..i was so happy to get to a bathroom in washington dc only to find out you needed a quarter to use it. but anyway,i hope your train ride is much better!! cant wait to read about it...have a fun and safe trip...mindy

Have a great trip Jacquie! I only slept one time in a train and the side to side movement lulled me to sleep. I awoke refreshed and ready for
