Book excerpt: Apart from being a travelholic, Norman Handy has given us an adventure filled description of a trip from Anchorage in Alaska to Panama in Central America. The more adventurous traveller will experience many fascinating places with stunning scenic vistas and tips on how things work in border crossings through many countries. If you want to know more about: life in different communities, how to deal with a curious caribou or bison without being trampled, or to view a sloth in its habitat and why there is a worm at the bottom of your Tequila glass then this is for you! There is even a dash of romance with the author falling for the pretty tour guide and having to hide this liaison with her from his fellow travellers and to their having to go their separate ways at the end of the journey.
