Between 1982 and 2012, I took 95 major trips to foreign and domestic destinations as tour designer and leader. My tours were tailored to include experiences not enjoyed by the average traveler. Bet you didn't see what we did! This book is about: • Traveling off the beaten path to see the beauty and unusual details that others miss • Cultural and historical facts and trivia that add interest to the traveler's experience • Humorous events that occurred on our journeys • The importance of seeing everything there was to see where we went, knowing that we may not be back • Entertaining episodes, unique people, fresh perspectives, and "close calls" encountered along the way. • With the daring of "Indiana Jones" and the enthusiasm of "Auntie Mame" you will be tempted to follow your heart and see the world.
