Travelin' man …

… Mark Twain in the Holy Land - The Jerusalem Post. (Hat tip, Tim Davis.)

Twain found a clever way to get himself aboard a luxury cruise trip of a lifetime. He arranged to write a series of newspaper columns for a California newspaper and set off from New York’s harbor on the steamship Quaker City. The five-and-a-half-month excursion featured stops in Europe, the Mediterranean and the Holy Land.
