  Literally every time I cross the Atlantic, and the Pacific but that’s much more uncommon, I take the time to remind myself that I will make a journey in a few hours of effectively absolute security that would, only recently, have taken months and might very well have been fatal.

  Yeah, i've got letters from my grandparents about their trip from Montreal to India in 1925. It took months.
