- "Tell us where you've been, and what you experienced there. Let us feel the ticket in your hand, see your ports of call, meet the people you've come to know. Put it all on paper." "With the guidance of L. Peat O'Neil - who is on the staff of The Washington Post Magazine - you'll travel well and write engagingly, whether in journals for your own pleasure or articles for publication."
