Do you remember the 'good ol' days' of traveling abroad, using Travellers Cheques, a phone box to call home using a phone card.. no internet .
You left Blighty and were out of touch for weeks .. wandering and getting lost, no sat nav, just Michelin maps to navigate, life was so much simpler.. and the roads do much quieter..
I recall being short of cash and couldn't cash a traveler's cheque over a four day French bank holiday weekend, four days with no cash .. and shops wouldn't accept or cash a cheque
My very first trip was in 1972.. MG Midget with a two man tent, with my GF, and future wife, we drove to St Tropez and came back via Switzerland. they say the your first road trip abroad s the best.. can't argue with that..
What do you remember about your early days of travelling abroad .. when was your first trip and where did you go ?
