America gourmet chef and prepared all on-board meals. Some were almost
too pretty to eat! |

Sometimes strange
obstacles force cancellation of trips. In this case, Hurricane Sandy deposited
a small ship on the tracks--along with thousands of trees and flood waters.
We never came close to making it to Savannah because all rail service
into and out of New York was cancelled for a week in Oct. 2012. |
