That Beggar's Pizza slice was quintessential Chicago-style deep-dish pizza; the hubby would have loved it! The train-themed decorations on the Christmas tree in CUS were certainly appropriate. I think I've probably walked down those stairs which were featured in that scene from "The Untouchables," but it was a very long time ago, probably back in my college days.
It sounds like you're traveling solo in a bedroom on the EB? The hubby had similar issues with the ensuite toilet/shower in our bedroom on the Texas Eagle. Good to hear that you were switched to a room in better repair!
