Default traveling with my car to Europe


wrote in message
...
Hello,

My husband and I would like to retrace a family legend vacation. We
would like to travel across the US by car from San Francisco to New
York and then to Europe with our car. Does anybody know if it is
possible to find a way to travel by a ship which would also take our
car? Thank you!!!!


Doubtful.

Cargo ships these days tend not to take passengers, those that do ( a few
big fast cargo ships) charge a lot of money.

Shipping your car is easy. Just about any big shipping agent will ship it
for you.

The lights will need to be modified to meet European standards on arrival
and you may need the car testing, depending on age, but the technical
problems are minor. Several thousand people import motor vehicles into the
EC from the USA every year.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
