I've long said there is not enough travel by train anymore. This past Christmas, Warbucks told me he had gotten a surprise for me, and would need time off. Well, I pressured him to tell me soon, I was entering all my vacation time, I needed to know. I fell over and hit the floor when it arrived. The houseboys ran to fetch my smelling salts. It was my ticket for a trip on the Venice-Simplon Orient Express!!!!! I guess I will be putting out...ALOT! Warbucks arrived on Tuesday, and we fly to London, where the next day take the train to Vienna. I have always adored Princess Dragomiroff.
I only hope I'm more fashionable and not as dark as her. "Princess Dragomiroff, you never smile." "My doctor has advised against it."
So we are off, and if a plan hatches where the whole train plans to stab another passenger, I want no parts. I'll be to busy making this up to Warbucks!!!!
I'll return in a couple weeks dears. Don't do anything I wouldn't.
💋💋💋

ReplyDeleteNow I know I need your life. This will be amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh man!!!!!! Damn your good!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy !!!!! Is there room for one more?
there was barely room for all the underwear.
DeleteWith all of the "thanking" Maddie's going to be doing, I would think that packing underwear would be a waste of time and space.
Deletewho we kidding....like he wears any.
DeleteAs a longtime Agatha Christie reader and administrator of "Trainride Of The Enigmas", I wish you Bon Voyage!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful, and if he ever asks you to marry him you'd be a fool to turn him down. Have a fun and safe trip.
ReplyDelete"Don't do anything I wouldn't"? So in other words, we can do ANYTHING at all? Thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteOMG this sounds absolutely fabulous! You are going to have to document it so we can live vicariously through you!
ReplyDeleteAnd put out, girl! This is more than worth it!
Have fun!

ReplyDeleteYou boys!
DeleteI cant wait to hear all the details once your back...or even better here in Ptown! Save some of the energy dear.
ReplyDeleteA couple weeks? We wouldn't blame you if you never returned from this trip!!! How excellent. This will have to go on the bucket list.
ReplyDeleteDamn boy...your feet barely touched the ground from being in new york for pride!!!! Have a fabulous time!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be fine as long as Hercule doesn't show up... then, watch out for knives.
ReplyDeleteOh mistress...so close to my yet so far. I am currently on London for the pride festivities. You mean to say I almost could have met you????
ReplyDeleteHave a fabu time. How worldly and elegant. If you should find yourself in Amsterdam I'll be back there tomorrow and the rest of next week. I'll email you if your checking.
Talk about dream vacation!!!!! You'll be missed.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhh beautiful. Many of my friends did this trip and to thos day, say it's by far the best trip they've had. Some still talking 15 years later.
ReplyDeleteCant wait to hear the dish.
Say hi to Poirot for me.
ReplyDeleteYou go boy and enjpy!!!!! Hell, I will probably never see anything like that.
ReplyDeleteI hate when your gone for too long, it's like when your favorite show is on summer hitus.
MISTRESS! your gone again? I cant blame you this time. I am jealous with envy!!!!!!! I cant wait to see the post! Your to colorful to be princess dragormiff.
ReplyDeleteRemember to keep the sex noise down....there are other cabins in close approxity. Keep it classy.
ReplyDeleteOMG! What a terrific surprise! May you enjoy the trip. Safe travels. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThis is on our bucket list, but hasn't been in the cards yet. ENJOY every mintue.
ReplyDeleteWhat am awesome adventure! Hope you are having a great time!
ReplyDeleteOh to have this trip of a lifetime!!!!! Princess Dragomrioff indeed. You lucky thing. I hear the trip is phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you two dont knock the cars off the tracks! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteJust throwing this out here, I've never read Agatha Christie or seen this movie in any of its versions. I now know who dunnit but I would like to know which is the best version to watch, if I can get over that hideous mustache!
ReplyDeleteA mustache like that always gives a good tickle. I hear.
DeleteDear Deedles, I myself enjoy the 1074 version with Lauren Bacall,Albert Finney, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bissett, Sean Connery and Wendy Hiller. Although, did enjoy Judi Denchs Princess Dragormiff in the latest version also.
DeleteOh dear, the 1974 version I meant. I'm old....but not that anicent.
DeleteThank you, Ms. Agnes. I must admit, the 1074 gave me a chuckle. Actually, 1974 seems ancient too. That's the year I graduated from high school. This movie sounds a lot more interesting than attending a 45th reunion with people who never bothered with me in school :)

DeleteAlbert Finney is fantastic as Poirot, even if he's nowhere as dreamy-looking a he was in--*sigh*--Tom Jones.
DeleteHave fun...but will they have enough gin of the train?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteMs Vicki, just how much is enough? Maddie seems like a bottomless pit when it comes to gin!
DeleteHad to stop by and wish you continued joy on your trip!
ReplyDeleteSeems like you were gone forever already. Have you had your fun yet?!? Kidding...hope your having a blast.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh you lead an exciting life! You're always globetrotting in the summer I love it.It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it. Who better than you, Mistress? I eagerly await the posts.
ReplyDelete"Because I've enjoyed very warm relationships with both my husbands." Have fun Mistress!!! Who's minding this place?
ReplyDeleteDoes Daddy want to adopt me too? Damn...….
