but my understanding is that at least some, and maybe many, commercial cargo ships often have quarters that they rent to private individuals for overseas passage - way less expensive than doing it on the Queen Mary. >From what I've heard, those accommodations are, for the most part,not available any more. Most cargo ships are container ships, and there are just barely enough cabins for the crew.

Get me "down under" and I may not want to come back. LOL!! Is there a reasonable way to get there other than on a plane? I hate flying... Brian Sure. Hop on a ship! Might take a bit longer than a plane, but unless you have some sort of Star-Treck-type transporter, I think those are your only two practical options (that's why I rule out swimming). I don't know if there are passenger ships that go there, but my understanding is that at least some, and maybe many, commercial cargo ships often have quarters that they rent to private individuals for overseas passage - way less expensive than doing it on the Queen Mary. Or, better yet, get a boat! Hey, and I just happen to have the perfect boat for ya! A world-class, ocean-going sailboat. A 1963 mahogany-on-oak Norwegian-designed and Swedish-built, Folkboat. Many of this design have been sailed around the world. And being the nice guy you are, I'd give you a really special deal! Oh, it does have a little dent in it....... :-( Terry Farrell PS: Yes, I was rebuilding it - this just happened a couple months ago...... :-( = -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
