Re: my travel plans
Fri, July 2, 2004 - 10:42 AMWow! My whole idea of freighter travel seems to be completely wrong. Mahogany furniture, outdoor pool and excercise room! I had been picturing sloshy aluminium toilets, bunk beds with the crew and tons of oatmeal. I guess I should blame it on reading "Treasure Island" at an impressionable age...
Can't do any freighter travel at this time, I'm afraid, but glad to have found this tribe for future adventures. Keep us posted on your trip, and post some pics when you come back. Good luck!
