Excerpt from Practical European Guide Preparation, Cost, Routes, Sight-Seeing
The idea, still prevalent among many people, that only the favored few can enjoy the pleasure and edification of European travel, is quite a mistaken one. Not many years ago a trip abroad was a supreme luxury. To the average man or woman the hope of seeing Venice was little more than a fanciful dream. We spoke of the "Eternal City" without the idea that we might some day look upon it from the Summit of the Janiculum Hill. We knew of Paris as the Capital of the Cosmopolitan World, but a stroll on the boulevards was not within our reach, as it is to-day. For the eager demand which has developed among all classes of our citizens for a chance to visit the "Old World" has resulted in the achievement of conditions that now allow any one to plan for a journey to Europe as easily as for a trip to California or a season at a seaside or mountain resort, and with possibilities of economies in expense which will bring the cost within the limits of a very modest income.
