TRAVEL TALK

“Mississippi River cruises, what can you tell me about them?” asked Alfie when he stopped in the travel agency recently to see Lem. “Four of us are thinking about next spring. May or June, and we’ve wanted to take a river cruise.” “This is a good time to make plans,” Lem replied, "because both the Delta Queen, which is the Grand Lady of the River, and the New Mississippi Queen have released their 1981 schedules and already are taking reservations.. A Mississippi River cruise is a delightful experience as you will

find out. From the moment you go aboard it’s like stepping back in tiipe. Here you are, on a paddlewheel river boat, gliding down the Mississippi in the gracious hospitality of antebellum years, rollickin’ Steamboatin’ entertainment and elegant dining. It’s a romantic way to see mid-America whether you go from Cincinnati or Saint Louis to New Orleans, or north to Saint Paul.” “How long are these cruises?” Alfie asked. “The schedules vary from twonight cruises to 10 and 11 nights.

Many of the two-night cruises are round trip from New Orleans with port calls at Natchez. Baton Rouge and other river cities where beautiful southern mansions restored to their original splendor are open to the public. Both river boats stay in the New Orleans area during January, February and March just for these cruises. The Delta Queen makes the first cruise north in April to begin the spring and summer season and the Mississippi Queen makes her first run to Saint Louis the latter part of June.” Lem explained. “The cruises going north to Saint Paul are scheduled for summer and fall,” Lem added. “The beautiful part of all of this is that one sees parts of our country that have been written about in history books and in fiction since the explorers first discovered the Mississippi River. And it has been immortalized in song. One of these cruises really takes one away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life into the relaxed luxury of a century and a half ago. What more could one want for a truly restful vacation,” Lem remarked. “And they have some special cruises for January and February. Adding to the romanticism, the Mississippi Queen offers a Big Band cruise out of New Orleans with different “big bands” of the big band era scheduled throughout the two months. This adds something different to a winter trip to New Orleans,” Lem suggested. “You really make it hard to decide with all these good suggestions,” Alfie replied. “But right now, let’s see what we might plan for spring.” “There is an ideal cruise on the Delta Queen starting at Cincinnati in early May,” Lem pointed out as he referred to the brochure. “It arrives in New Orleans the morning of the 11th day. As you steam down the Ohio

your first stop is Louisville where you may take a shore tour. Next day you stop at Evansville for another shore trip. Continuing down the Ohio, the itinerary includes a side-trip up the Tennessee River to Kentucky Lake, the largest manmade lake in the country. Following this, the Queen cruises into the Mississippi and makes its next stop at Memphis. The next port of call is Vicksburg for a day, then Natchez for another day ashore, and Saint Francisville before arriving at New Orleans.” “With this, if you want it, there is a fly-cruise plan which includes your round trip airfare on regularly scheduled flights,” Lem added. “Also, you will notice that many of the cruises begin at Saint Louis for both New Orleans or to Saint Paul.” “Let me take all of this information home so we can talk it over with our friends and decide on some dates. We’ll be back with you real soon,” Alfie assured Lem as he gathered up the brochures and other notes to discuss with the others. And he also made sure he had the Big Band cruise information.

MANY YEARS ago when milk was delivered to homes most people left a note sticking out from the top of the bottle. More often than not the note simply indicated what was wanted.
