You make me laugh. All the joys like cinders in the eyes and the joys of coal. I bet the first class have access to handy oxygen masks, too, those lucky ducks! HeeHee... This train ride looks very fun. I hope you were not looking in there from the COACH section and you two deserve the best!
Great Job!
