America on 4 miles an hour
When my wife and I made our first cruise of the Mississippi River aboard the giant, modern paddle-wheel boat called The American Queen, I loved the experience and she hated it. I loved sitting on a deck reading Mark Twain and watching the shore inch past at four miles an hour. I loved the Dixieland music, the southern specialties for dinner, the laid-back repose of the most relaxing cruise on earth. She wanted something more active. (Luckily, it was she who had chosen this cruise, not me). All this way by way of announcing that the American Queen has now resumed making cruises of the Mississippi, and they all start in New Orleans. Go to www.majesticamericaline.com, and select the ship by name for more information.
