With Travelling
’ great salt tears. Only so1uh
tion Is to take along a large
plastic bag filled with bol
ogna sandwiches, dill piickles,
cheese and' other goodies,
About the ithird day on the
trip, it looks, smell? and
tastes like pemmican, but
you',11 have lots of privacy,
and you won't have to tip any
waiters.
About tips. The 'dime 'is a
quaint coin that became ob
solete during the ’4Q*s and is
now used only in vending
machines, The quarter is rapidly going the same way.
But have one pocket stuffed
with them- and the other with
dollar bills, and you’ll see
nothing but smiling faces and
friendly outstretched hands
all along your route,
About service. The country
is going to pot. Remember” all
those snarling assistant man
agers, supercilious desk clerks
and larcenous bell-hiops dur
ing the post-war period?
They’ve all disappeared. To
the place to which I fre
quently consigned them, I
hope. This summer I was
rather severely shocked to'
meet a friendly assistant
manager, a bell-hop with a
sense of humor, and no less
than three courteous cab
drivers. My wife nearly faint
ed when one of them jumped
out and .opened the door for
her. Needless to say, tills was
in The West.
There's only one thing
wrong with travelling. It
icosts you ith-e shirt right off
your back. Best way around
this is to steal a credit card
belonging to Joe P. McGlutch.
'and sign for everything. If
thi's is not feasible, the only
alternative is to sell your
wife and children into slav
ery. Either way, it’s worth it.
Now, have a happy, happy
trip.
We did a fair amount of
travelling this summer.
There’s nothing left from it
but a pile of travel folders
and 12 equal monthly pay
ments at the bank. But I
thought the .least I could dp
was to pass along a few trav
el notes to those planning a
trip, or wishing they’d taken:
one.
First of all, don’t Wish, just
do it, If you wait until you
can afford a trip you’ll be too,
old to enjoy it- There's noth
ing more pitiful than those
tottering old wrecks you'll
see on any cruise, wiho have
put off "The Trip" until the
Children are grown’, the mort
gage is paid and Dad has re
tired.
It’s easy, almost frighten
ingly easy, to take a ztrip
without money. Railroads,
airlines and shipping com
panies are only too happy to
take you to Timbuktu on the
never-never plan.
Juist forget about that new
dishwasher or wallpaper and
sign on the dotted line. Your
friendly travel agent will loan
you a pen. By the way, it’s
a good' iifdea to plan your trip
■through a (travel agent.
'There’s no charge as he’s
paid by the air-rail-hotei
people. Also, it’s reassuring
when you arrive in a strange
City at midnight, to be able
to wave that reservation in
the desk clerk's face, eVen
though it's' for the wrong
date.
How to get therle? If it’s a
long haul, and your time is
limited, and your legs are
Short, flying is1 your best bet.
It’s dud, cramped, the bag
gage handling is little short
of vandalism, 'and there’s al
ways a long ridd into town
from the airport, for which
you pay. But, you’re there in
a hurry,
Trains lare -lurclhy and ra
ther slow, 'but you can relax.
There’s nothing like a stroll
through a .'train to' add some
color to your trip. Black and
blue. Prices are fairly reason
able now, with family nates
■Which include meals'. The
latter, while adequate, are a
far ory from the old railway
dining cars, where food and
service were superb. Their
■chief aim now is to feed you
land get you out of there.
Probably the best way to
travel is by car, with tent or
trailer. It’s certainly much
cheaper, and you don’t have
to follow a timetable. The
drawback 'is that unless you
like driving, it’s jusit that —
driving. Mile upon mile, hour
upon hour, d!ay after day. No.
holiday there for me.
■For the person travelling
alone, on a budget, the bus is
the best. It’s' dfrafty or hot or
cold or dusty. And the lady
in the adjacent seat is the
ibdggest bare din. North Amer
ica and she's going to be with
you right across the con
tinent. But you can go a long
way on a 100 bucks.
About clothes. Pack care
fully, everything you think
you're going to need, and
then leave exactly half your
luggage at home, and you’ll
be just right.
About food. The price of
good meal's, anywhere, will
make a strong man weep
