Washing up in Paris

Thanx Kevin!

For the great pix and info! It's been a life hope for me to take advantage of the "Chunnel" so I could say "I see London, I see France" LOL.

Sadly, with the demise of the Concorde (Honest, I had $$$ saved up to use it), I will never get to the continent. Unless teleportation becomes a reality.

I suffer from life-numbing panic attacks and claustrophobia. Rx haven't helped, therapy hasn't helped, gin hasn't helped. If someday I hit the lottery and can take a ship, maybe my dream will be one day fulfilled.

In the meantime, thanx to you gentlemen (and ladies) who travel and share with us here on aw.o Such beautiful things and images.

Going WAY off subject, but possibly of interest....

Some (most?) transatlantic freighters will (would?) take a limited number (4-6) of 'foot-passengers'.
You would get a (very basic) cabin, the same food as the crew, and (of course) NO entertainment would be laid on. You are a passenger, it's not a 'working passage', and is (certainly WAS) the cheapest way to cross the 'pond'....

This info goes WAY back, well before '9/11', and may no longer be current, but a friend of mine saw a deal of the world this way some years ago...

I have no idea how/where you would find out about places, as they are not generally advertised, it seems to be something where you are either 'in the know' or not...

Best of luck with getting to see London/Europe..
