Maybe you'll be able to find more later and continue writing the story.<br /><br />This is a great post, Sandra. I like the idea of your WiP. I can just imagine how difficult and frustrating it would be to go back to the days of "not so good Internet". My son however, would love to go back to the 80s. He is fascinated with it, which I find really funny. Oh, and my number would have to be 8675309.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823808700523297184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-42686563626976311262010-02-19T13:37:22.604-06:002010-02-19T13:37:22.604-06:00I was trying to research fares of transatlantic cr...I was trying to research fares of transatlantic crossings in the 50's, the lay out of a ship that did these crossings etc. But could find nothing. I had to shelve the story due to frustration. How wonderful you were able to find what you needed.

But the rest could stay the same. :) Great post!<br /><br />My verification word is nospit... Think the 80s are trying to tell me something?
