Excerpt from A Social Departure: How Orthodocia and I Went Round the World by OurselvesWhile we feel deeply the responsibility resting upon everybody who writes experiences of travel, to inform people who are thinking of it as to what to take with them, Orthodocia and I have agreed to offer no advice upon this point. For we do not now believe that the best regulated wardrobe and the best informed mind would be equal to complete preparation for a trip round the world beforehand. There must be additions and subtractions, things one would have given anything to have had, and things one would have given anything to have left behind. One wants old clothes and new clothes, and a little of everything in the way of garments the thermometer can possibly demand. There is the widest possible margin for the luxuries and vanities of individual requirement for instance, there were moments in Japan when Orthodocia yearned for a piano and I for a spring bed, but we would have felt the inconvenience of them afterward.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
