Most of them had dull pictures but among them I found an album from a trip to Hawaii in 1961. The album didn't contain any pictures of the people who went on the trip but instead was a scrapbook with tickets, menus, napkins, maps, brochures, and postcards (inluding postcards of the Kona Inn, Coco Palms, and Don the Beachcomber's in Waikiki), and even some greeting cards (bon voyage and birthday cards, as it was the passenger's birthday during the cruise). I purchased the scrapbook for $10. I think I'll keep it as is instead of removing the objects which are mostly glued on the pages. Info on the trip: Miss Lorraine Penniman of Oakland booked an escorted cruise tour through American Express for passage on Matson Lines' SS Mariposa from San Francisco to Honolulu. According to the tour itinerary the ship arrived in Honolulu on the 6th. day, she toured Waikiki for the 7th. through 11th. days, flew to Maui and then Hilo, Hawaii on the 12th. day, stayed in Hawaii until the 15th. day, when she flew to Kauai, and returning to Honlulu on the 17th. day. But there is a receipt from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki for 11 days lodging so I'm not sure if she stayed in Waikiki or went on the tour. The cost for the cruise and tour was $907 ($395 for the cruise and $512 for the tour and lodging). The Royal Hawaiian Hotel receipt showed a charge of $194.59 for 11 nights. Miss Penniman flew home on Pan Am to San Francisco for $133. [ Edited by: thejab 2005-09-14 11:46 ]
