[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] "People tend to react to the way in which they are approached," MGT writes. Amen. Put another way, cheeriness begets cheeriness. The happy traveler approaches a flight, a cruise, or a train trip knowing that "adventures" (as GBN so ironically calls them) may or may not occur, and the best way to deal with them is to shrug them off and focus on the things that delight. The Joe Btfsplks of this world will never be happy. Forewarned is forearmed, however. I would not hesitate to recommend a trip on the CZ, SWC or EB, but would always advise a tyro traveler of the things that could happen -- fritzed heat/AC, delays, crew problems, problems with provender, etc -- and prepare for such eventualities. I'd also warn not to expect the mythical level of service of the Good Old Days. Those days are gone forever. Finally, I would take the example of the always wise Mr. GBN and pack a few bottles of honest plonk for consumption in the sleeper. [/QB][/QUOTE]
