"It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality.

"We wish to learn all the curious, outlandish ways of all the different countries, so that we can "show off" and astonish people when we get home. We wish to excite the envy of our untraveled friends with our strange foreign fashions which we can't shake off. All our passengers are paying strict attention to this thing, with the end in view which I have mentioned. The gentle reader will never, never know what a consummate ass he becomes, until he goes abroad." - Mark Twain, written on a five-month cruise to Europe and the Mediterranean
