I clung to the rails, inhaling great gulps of salty air, my stomach making an uneasy flip with each slap of wave. It was mid-April. In Philidelphia the first colorful buds would be pushing up their heads, but here at sea, gray gloomy skies marked the horizon. I pulled my cape tightly against the icy wind, remembering Miss Hepplewhite's Helpful Hints on Travel.
"Remember Jane, a good taveler need only know three things. One, always keep your composure. Two, dress plainly and pack lightly. Three, do not let little irritations sway your cheery nature," Miss Hepplewhite had said, patting my shoulder.
She had, in my opinion, been a bit remiss in not mentioning any hints on killing fleas, avoiding rats, bathing with seawater, or being seasick.
