...that is not far enough out, there is still the excitement of hunting whales in a wooden boat off the Azores (for $35 a day), or sitting on a deck chair aboard a "boatel" on Brazil's Araguaia River munching roasted piranhas ($1,600 for three weeks), or a six-week explorer's trip through Mongolia, Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the diet includes sheep's eyeballs and cooked lamb's head ($3,650). As for the $5,000, five-week trip to Antarctica, the boat does not leave from the tip of Chile until January...

Just up the beach, there will be a 500-room Holiday Inn Hotel and a 150-room boatel and marina; other land has been bought for nightspots, motels, office buildings, a shopping center, private homes, a draught-and-rafters English pub. The biggest moneymaker so far is a $1,500,000 bunkering terminal where ten ships at a time-more than at any other single station...
...take her to Penzance, Land's End, Torquay-somewhere on the south coast of England. Cunard Chairman Sir John Brocklebank seemed to have the Caribbean in mind. Wherever she winds up, in Penzance as a floating Holiday Camp, or in the Caribbean as a luxury boatel, the Queen Mary, 26-year-old doyenne of the Cunard fleet, would be in good hands. And besides, getting there would be half...
