Alternative Travel

Maybe you don't like flying, or are concerned about air travel's contribution to global warming.  Or perhaps you just prefer real travel by train or ship, where the journey is part of the adventure...  Either way, The Man in Seat Sixty-One will tell you how to travel overland comfortably and affordably where you might think that air was now the only option (train, bus, and freighter).
