Oh how times have changed!

The following excerpt is from the book, Pan Am’s New Blue Book Of Clipper Travel. At one time, this was the epitome of travel information. The excerpts for this blog are from a 1970 edition of this wonderful travel book.


Acknowledgement:

Everything in this latest update is taken from the guide published in 1970, the 17th revised edition.

Paraphrasing a bit:

If you get the urge to go somewhere, and you really need an excuse, bear in mind that doctors all agree:

Vacations are a very necessary part of modern life

You owe it to your job, your health and your home life to take a vacation. There is no vacation like a trip and no trip like a” trip abroad”.

We have taken this further; there is no life, like a life abroad.

It is an amazing look back at a time when travel was glamorous, exciting and just plain fun. We will continue to publish an old look at the new Panama over the next few weeks.

We hope you enjoy.
