I traveled in 1957 from NYC to Sao Paulo, via Barbados, Bahia, and Rio.
What a nice way to travel! Wish I’d been a little more than 8 years old at the time!
We travelled on the old P&O SS Oriana from Hong Kong to Ceylon to Aden through the Suez Canal (of of the last such trips in 1967) to Naples and Marseille and Barcelona.
Wonderful trip, but I also was too young to entirely appreciate it.
I told Mrs. JimRed I take her on a cruise if they let me drive...when I was 19 Uncle let me drive a 600’ warship, after all.
Bump for later.
