re: #310 Reality Based Steve
I remember when I was a youngster reading about the passenger accommodations on freighters, and thinking that would be a great way to see the world. I’m sure that there isn’t anything like that anymore however. Seems like I even got a book on all the freighter lines, what they offered, all that good stuff.

There were still a few when I checked in 1999. By then they had become pricey, and set an upper age limit because they don’t staff doctors. (I am the butt of a running family joke because I seriously recommended that a few of the kids take a passage in the 80s.)
