all this travel discussion has been gone over in detail on one of the two long threads over a year ago...do you know what it cost for the first african airlift? do you know about buses and trains in africa,passenger ships, tramp steamers?
butter posted some air fares from hawaii in 1961.
here is a discssion not nearly as complete as the one on FR

Thanks. And yes, I’ve seen, (and even posted) on some of the older threads. I couldn’t find much on tramp steamers, but there are some very interesting railroad sites.
To me, all of it says it would have been a very big and expensive undertaking.
