The characters seem like they come straight from a novel. The gentleman who touted the "positive attitude" and "family values" has his head up his derrier.<br /><br />The pictures are lovely, and you look like you are having fun!! I'm a cat lover, so it would be hard to resist taking one to add to my kitty collection.<br /><br />The pink ribbon kitty wine bottle....well, I don't know what to say about that one!Beth L.

I didn't want to spoil the wonder of seeing the toilet in the shower until you actually experienced it for yourself! <br /><br />Your trip IS on my gratitude list. This just makes me smile-even the dumb pink wine..... because sometimes, we need to just laugh, eye roll and whatever else.... We can all be rebel activists again another day. No sense spoiling a great trip!!!<br /><br />Love to you,<br />AnneMarieAnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728571907921895836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093171013716050318.post-64755805149595546432011-11-29T19:21:37.309-05:002011-11-29T19:21:37.309-05:00What a great vacation!

Coming home, I left on Saturday morning and arrived home at 3am on Monday morning. Fortunately I have nothing better to do. <br /><br />Considering I didn't even have luggage coming home, the train attendant only had to get my bed down. That was it. He sat in his cubicle for most of the journey with the curtain closed playing on his computer.CancerCultureChronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650364997423007994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093171013716050318.post-60893954544005073472011-11-29T16:10:25.036-05:002011-11-29T16:10:25.036-05:00I love it all Rach... thank you for the wonderful ...I love it all Rach... thank you for the wonderful travelogue... are you sure you're not related to Bill Bryson? <br /><br />So glad you and Beloved had a great break.

Did you actua...So, I am trying to do the math here. Did you actually get to spend more time <i>having</i> the vacation than you spent traveling to and from the vacation? I'm thinking you did, but that it was close.<br /><br />Also, thank you for the info on the Sleeper Car Attendants. Good to know for future plans. Did you ever find out what it was they were supposed to have done which might conceivably warrant a tip? I mean, were there little chocolates on your pillow at least?? Probably not, because I know you would have mentioned chocolate. Personally, I might have tipped them to go the hell away & leave me alone. I don't especially like strange people hovering around me when I'm trying to sleep, particularly on trains. Unless they're Johnny Depp maybe.<br /><br />I like the trike! A much more practical mode of transport than its two-wheeled cousin for us symmetry-challenged folks.<br /><br />I have a theory that cats like to hang around near our heads so they can look us in the eye & remind us that we are not the superior species. Mine also like to sleep on my head. Sort of like a vibrating snood.<br /><br />And, yes, I do hope you have many more weeks like that.<br /><br />xoxoxoxoThe Accidental Amazonhttp://accidentalamazon.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093171013716050318.post-20896096466221753192011-11-29T15:22:05.084-05:002011-11-29T15:22:05.084-05:00Wonderful Rach!

The pioneering lesbian couple, the 'family values' gent. And of course, you can't go wrong with toilet humour. But loved that it 'doubles as a step to the top bunk'.<br />And beyond glad that you had a lovely time in Florida.
