    What luxury! And what an original idea to travel in style of past years, combining the comfort of the train and the hotels. Yes I am sure you could imagine Humphrey Bogart in these surroundings – it was a time of chilvalry, good manners and courteous porters. I am not surprised that you enjoyed this trip, and as far as the deserts, Mmmm … they sound absolutely delicious and befitting royalty.

    Oh, yes, the Empress! Ask Kevin if he recalls our visit about 50 years ago when his dad, Denis, (as you know, my much older brother) left me in the Empress restaurant/coffee shop in charge of the kids, all enjoying a drink of pop. Denis and my parents went off to the bar.

    It was fun; until the bill came. The small amount of cash they left me with, plus my paltry spending money, didn’t come close to covering the total. I hid in the bathroom for awhile hoping the problem would go away. The only outcome I recall is my brother’s laughter, my embarrassment, and the loss of my hard-earned babysitting money!
