Welcome to Tuesday 4 in honor of the memory of Toni Taddeo!
Today.s subject was inspired by Elena Leno, Toni's daughter. Toni and I shared a love of many
things including Agatha Christie, upstate NY and trains, trains and more trains!
So.. Let's talk about Trains, Planes and Boats this week.
The Orient Express was a long-distance passenger train service created in 1883 by Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. Fares range from
£2,200 per person for a Venice to London journey, up to £40,000 for a Grand Suite on the Istanbul journey.
1. Do you enjoy riding on trains, planes or boats? Got a tale to tell us?
2. The Orient Express is super luxurious with 5 star accommodations including real bedrooms, cocktail bars, etc.
It stops along a route that includes, London, Paris, Berlin,
Bucharest, Venice, Paris, Prague and Istanbul.
Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express is set on the train.
You can choose your itinerary from the lists their site offers. Of the places shown here, which cities interest you the most and why?
3. Do you think you would enjoy a cruise? Where would you go?
4. Given the time and the choice and money being no object will you travel to Europe via plane or luxury liner?
