Florida - Feb. 2004
We left on Amtrak from Houston on the 8th. We suspected this would not be a good experience when the train left 7 1/2 hours late!!! We arrived at our destination a full 12 hours late!!! Our so-called "Deluxe Sleeper" accommodations were a joke. The fold-down bed was a torture rack, and the upper berth was no better.  Thank goodness the food was good, and we met some nice people in the dining car! But needless to say, we flew home!!!

I also took my first flight with Patrick!!! Click here to see!!!

Our miserable Amtrak compartment.
Bed was like sleeping on concrete.
... but we did find out there really is a town called
Pascagoula, where that "squirrel went berserk, in the
First Self-Righteous Church"
