Churchill on Italian cruises

After his retirement Churchill was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian cruise liner and some Italian journalists asked why an ex British Prime Minister chose an Italian ship.?
“There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruise ship” said Churchill.

“First their cuisine is unsurpassed. 

Second their service is superb. 

And then, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first”.

Way to go: Who to use and how to go about it.

When the baby boomer generation was young, there was really just one option if you wanted to travel outside Southern  Africa. You went to a  travel agent, told them what you wanted and left it to them.
Not so anymore! You now have multiple options!
                                     - Go to a travel agent.
                                     - Do it yourself direct on the internet.
                                     - Use one of the internet based travel agents like the pages we provide you with on
                                        our travel pages. It is all done via e-mail and phone calls and you sort out your
                                        own passport, visa(s) and travel money.
                                     - Join a group organised by your club, business, church or retirement village, etc.
We will try, over the next few months to invite the experts in each field to tell you about the pros and cons of making use of their services.
