About the Book

This book covers my entire trip around the world from the inception of the idea through the planning and execution stages of the trip. It includes all of the great times I had and the wonderful places I visited while traveling through 16 countries. These places include Ireland, Northern Ireland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest, Constanta on the Black Sea, Kiev, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Lake Baikal, Vladivostok and Artem in Russia, Seoul, Tokyo and Honolulu and Hilo in Hawaii. Also included are nine interior full color photos. I recount the laughter and fun I experienced meeting several internet friends along the way. In addition, include a thank you to the many "angels" I encountered. I''ve also included the not so happy times and Negative Experiences I encountered and my thoughts on how to avoid them. Historical facts are included where tour guides and friends taught me a little history of their respective countries.

In the final chapter is a recommendation on what to take and what not to take on such a journey.
