Wikipedia Adventures
Checking the Wikipedia page today I noticed that one of their recent featured articles was on the Andrea Doria. My dad had a ticket to Europe on the Andrea Doria late in the summer of 1956. A young man on his first trip to Europe. He of course never got the opportunity to sail on the luxury liner and went by airplane instead. When he showed up at the airport to fly home the PanAm agent checking him in said oh, your ticket was for yesterday we were paging all over the airport trying to find you. PanAm put him on the flight for that day and he arrived slightly late and embarrassed at having mixed up the days. These days I doubt the airlines would be so understanding.
