Flordia to Maine on the "Orient Express" (trip from hell)

Happy BIRTHDAY little kids!! Anyway, Eli and Mom are the next June Birthdays!!

This is Mom and me on the train from Florida, in our little peanut shell cabin! It looked good from the beginning, but after the bed came down, you had to be Olive Oil to get around the joint! The bathroom, was also the shower and was smaller than one on an airline.

Mom was in my clothes in this picture as I spilled red wine on her about 3minutes into the trip, and she did not bring an extra set with her.

I banged my foot getting up the ladder to my bed, and the ceiling was so low up there I could not lift my head, I felt like a hot dog in a bun the whole night, pass the mustard!

THE train rocked and rolled all night long and the whistle blew the whole way, they were going so fast at one point I thought we would derail for sure, so we did not sleep a lot. Mom did not sleep at all.


The food was good,I have to say that, white table cloths, real wine glasses and a nice menu, we had beef madallions that were tender and nice fresh veggies and a salad, and a choice of delicious desserts, Ihad key lime pie!

It was an experience not to be repeated, and Phyllis June, we don't know how you do it!!

We are in Maine now, thank goodness!!
Oh, the guy with Mom is the maker of our beloved Polish Veal loaf that the Grocki family worships!! We fry it, slice it, and eat it until it comes out of our ears! We made a special side trip to Pawtucket to buy three loafs, one for me, one for Mom and one for Lois. He is the oly living person that makes that special recepie in the world! His name is Paul. We found out a lady in New Mexico sends for it to sell in her little restaurant, andits a big hit! I am taking orders, any takers?
