In the summer of 1936, a 30-year-old school teacher from Chicago boarded a luxury liner in New York's harbor. Bound for England and points beyond, Frank Daily set out to fulfill his dreams of what for him would be "the trip of a lifetime." For two months he traveled through Europe, fascinated by the historical icons, captivated by the unique character of each country's denizens - and alarmed by the rising tide of fascism in Italy and Nazi Germany. Years later, his son (also named Frank Daily) found two handwritten journals stored in a box - his father's daily record of his European journey. Stirred by his father's appreciation of culture and eye for detail, he decided to publish the journals as a book for the Daily family - and anyone else - to read. "My Trip Abroad" is a trip back in time, a personal reflection of what life was like for a young American discovering Europe 80 years ago - and a prescient and timely glimpse of things to come.
