Travel Pre and Post InternetTravel Pre and Post InternetAuthor: Anthony Francis Title: Travel: Pre and Post Internet. By: The Nomad Travel Pre Internet: I've been travelling for over 40 years - by thumb in my early days, by boots in the Scouts, a Lambretta came next and then my first old banger followed by newer old bangers to the beaches of the Costa Brava. My thumb, boots, bikes and bangers took me all over Europe and the UK before finding that a charter flight to Spain on an old 'Connie' could get me to the beaches and bars a lot quicker and allow more time to enjoy the local travel opportunities by horse and cart and the occasional bus and train. 'Go West and Prosper' seemed to be a good idea so instead of taking an 8 hour flight I took an 8 day transatlantic crossing from Tilbury to Montreal on the Stephan Batory of Polish Ocean Lines ensuring that jet lag did not trouble my travel plans. |
