    Transatlantic Cruises

    Two QM2 crossings completed and two more booked. The next cruise is for one of those "claustrophobic" insides. The cost for our next cruise for two is $2740 - Southampton to NYC. No we're not claustrophobic. We close our eyes at night and everything is still very dark. It's very conducive to...

    Coke or Pepsi?

    Our local Sam's Club carries it in 12 oz. glass bottles, case of 24. You'll need a 'church key' to open the bottles.

    Coke or Pepsi?

    Mexican Coke in a glass bottle! The only way to drink it. No aluminum cans, plastic bottles, added chemicals, other additives, or subtractitives. It's the real thing!

    Cruise ship discussion

    There are also many other seasick remedies that are non-medicinal. I've used sea bands (accupressure on the wrists) , eat a large dill pickle or a green apple. Each has been very effective for me. I rarely get seasick but have had nausea on a transatlantic trip crossing the north sea on the...

    Cruise ship discussion

    \ I've been on a number of crossings on QM2 and take exception to your stereotypical comments about: ...a bunch of old people...,elevator music concerts...,and unemployed college lecturers. It sounds like you have never been on a Cunard ship but have assumed so much. Granted, there are no...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    I just called my daughter on the phone and sang Happy Birthday to her. Is that an example of phonation? And under such circumstances, would I then be considered a 'phony' although I try to be sincere? All this is getting very confusing for me.

    I heard somewhere that it would be within 24 months after Mobile approved their support. Then on to Jacksonville!

    Restoration of New Orleans - Mobile - Jacksonville Gulf Coast Service

    We live on the Ms. coast and this is wonderful news. We can now travel to New Orleans or Mobile for cruises and don't have to drive and don't have to pay for extended parking. Also, hopefully this will also be a catalyst for further service on to Jacksonville, Florida. Many seniors from...

    What's the longest vacation you've taken by train?

    19 hours by steam locomotive across China. No it was not romantic! Hotter'n hell. In fact, I think we passed by hell on this trip. Nasty, dirty, and primitive at every turn. Timewise, not the longest, but it sure felt like it would never end.
