[Travelandtourism] For those who do not like planes or Cruiseshere is an option for you, Via Train

[cheryl echevarria]

I really don't think it will come down, this is not like amtrak, and it is 
supposed to be luxury all the way similar to the orient express, believe me 
I have always wanted to go on this type of journey myself.
