content: The following description is taken from a National Cotton Council brochure: "El Dorado was never found. Yet, centuries after the conquistadors first blazed the trails westward, the concept of a golden paradise remains close to the hearts of those who follow the sun to the pleasure capitals of Las Vegas, Hawaii, and San Francisco in search of their personal El Dorado. Each year, a quarter million Americans spend their vacations on a journey through El Dorado. Some travel alone, but the majority of these modern conquistadors prefer the convenience and economy of group travel. For an inside look at this popular way of going places and a preview of the latest cotton traveling fashions, come with us on a special excursion to the El Dorado of the golden west."
