What a WONDERFUL thread... three fascinating adventures..

Amy & Lori.. wonderful job on the presentation and so inviting! Great tables & pix work Lori!

Lori, the cruise sounded like such a wonderful time. I have never been on one & yours sounded ideal. Did you get to the famous Victoria gardens (think that is the name)?

Amy you had a start of the vacation that was AWFUL.. bad enough for adults but to have a little one along , ugh.. and sleeping on the Walmart parking lot! my goodness.Did you cry? It sounds like my buddy Murphy was there with you for the day.. sorry! I have had to sleep in my car or van on more than one occasion that wasn't planned (sometimes I do it purposefully) and it is always less the refreshing! It is too bad our Amtrak does so poorly, hear it over & over again. I understand in Europe & Asia the trains are phenomenal..

Gracie..how much fun it seemed you had & with a lot of great friends who ride.. I went to your "unabridged version" & got a kick our of pix & story. A wonderful vacation for you.

Thank you all three for sharing your vacation.... might come back with something later.. my "vacation" .. was well, a 23 hour trip to/from NC for a funeral/suicide..... it had some interesting aspects for sure..but trip is the correct word, not vacation.

Thank you, Dolly, for the kind words and kudos. Yes, the cruise was great, can't wait to go on the next one.

Poor Amy. What a time she had! I tried to talk her and PrissyMissy into coming to Alaska with us, but did she listen?.....no. LOL! Bet she listens next time. ;-)

I hope you are able to come back with some highlights from your trip/vacation. No doubt it will be very interesting. :-)

Good morning, Dolly. Thank You.

The rest of our vacation was great. Visited with relatives and saw some areas of this great country that were new to us.

Sleeping in the car would not have been too bad if we had a larger car or less people. Four people, 3 suitcases and 2 backpacks were a tight fit in that car. PrissyMissy was the only one who could make an attempt to move. Since she was sitting behind JAjr, he was able to move the seat back a couple of inches and get away from the steering wheel.

I usually love traveling by train but trains running 10 hours late is not fun. Getting off the train at midnight and not having anywhere to go is a nightmare.
