Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Lucy - When Andrew stated to me that they were off to a Wedding & were catching a train. I thought to myself how grand, a wonderful trip viewing the Australian countryside. In the words of Carrie Bradshaw “Very, Some like it hot!”
Then I was told a few minor points of this trip.
Andrew stated he will be catching a plane, and then boarding the train to go back the way they came!!!!
The amusing part is the train goes back past their home as it winds its way to their destination.......
As I pondered waiting at the airport. Then catching the plane (at least 1.5hours) to commute to on the train (for an extra 3 hours), to go back home. I asked “why the hell would you do that?”  The answer was so simple Andrew explained, “For Silver Service of course!”
So there you have it, the dining car has Silver Service that will be served in the first three hours of the journey (why would you miss out on that).
I thought to myself Only the Homos!!!!

Then I got to thinking about “Sex & the City, The Big Journey” (Season 5, episode 7 for those of you who wish to refresh your memory)
Andrew I strongly recommend watching this before you board (in your words) Public Transport.

Here are a few quotes to get you interested:

 “You never know who will be getting on & getting me off” Samantha Jones.

“This is it; I thought there would be white linen tablecloths & Bing Crosby singing at a piano“Carrie Bradshaw.

“Are you aware that every time we stop, good looking people get off & more ugly people get on. I’m serious; this is the train to ugly! “Samantha Jones.

"I don't know about you, but there isn't one man on this train I'd like to F**K, how about you?""Don't ask me, I'm Horny & nine hours of train rocking hasn't helped!" Sam & Carrie.

“I’m beginning to know why there was a murder on the Orient Express “Samantha Jones.

So my darling friend I will leave you with this thought:
They had to shower over the toilet!!!! You better check your ensuite. Although I guess you could kill two birds with one stone.
Happy travels.

Andrew - Oh for fuck's sake Lucy! Now you are making us sound like snobs! Somehow I can't see Gusband booking us anything remotely like public transport.... although he did have us staying in a MOTEL last weekend, so I wonder if he is experimenting with the "roughing it" side of travel? Feel free to stage an intervention if we suddenly announce we are taking off in a campervan with the dogs.

I'm a big believer in "It's all about the journey not the destination," so lets hope the meal we are getting lives up to its name, since there is a considerable amount of "journeying" to experience it. Also let's hope this particular mode of transportation has wifi so everyone can experience the pleasure with us.

Lucy, should we be looking more carefully at our Italy itinerary? What i there are 3 star hotels involved? Swanning around in a kaftan may not be appropriate then, perhaps a velour tracksuit would be more suited.

Anyhoo it will all be an experience and as long as there is gin and tonic we should be fine to cope.

Happy travelling campers.xx
