Whipped Cream Difficulties

Travel Thursday!

You know, when you travel, you have to stay somewhere. I guess you could sleep outdoors, but that’s a good way to get robbed or rousted by the po-lice.

So you need to sleep somewhere. Like a hotel or motel.

(I thought the movie was a little twee, but I do like that scene.)

From 1962, “The Great Tradition”, a promo film for the American Hotel Association.

Bonus: Another one I’m pretty sure I haven’t used (and I think I’d remember: it doesn’t turn up in a search): “Wings to Viking Land”. Really, “Viking Land”.

…a Pan Am travelogue about Scandinavia and specifically Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The flight is made aboard a Pan Am Clipper — a four engine Boeing Stratocruiser equipped with Sleeperette seats. The flight takes less than 24 hours and meals served aboard are from Maxim’s of Paris.

I kind of feel like the original Vikings were not served meals from Maxim’s of Paris, coming or going. But hey, what do I know?
