For over a year I have been calling my adventure to walk the Disney Marathon 2014 my Epic Quest. I thought about my Epic Quest as I walked, and walked and walked for training.

Unfortunately my lungs and therefore asthma got involved. I didn’t recover as quick as I would have liked. Antibiotics, steroids, and an inhaler became my companions.

One of the parts of our trip we were most excited about was riding the train. The adventure of going on the train and riding to our destination felt romantic and unusual. It did not disappoint! I loved the sound of the train whistle all night as we crossed each intersection. I completely enjoyed the rocking of the train. The seats are large (as compared to airplane seats), they recline, and they even have a cool foot rest… we didn’t discover until our ride was almost over. We ate breakfast in the dining car.
