June 1st, 1961-Aboard the Queen Elizabeth


  • June 1st, 1961
  • Aboard the Queen Elizabeth
  • Rainy, cool.

Jim came to the station to see us off.  Boat train left promptly - pretty well filled up. Very smooth going through customs as our bags had been shipped directly to our stateroom. Train very cold - not heat on - our first experience of a cold train. Our stateroom is very nice - perhaps a bit more comfortable then the Queen Mary.

Lunch very good and apparently, our permanent  seat will be satisfactory. Dad got deck chairs promptly, though if the weather stays like this, we may not use them much. Listened to the music in the Smoke Room for a while and then went to bed as it has been a rather trying day.
