 THE ALASKA INTERIOR April 27th, 1992 Greetings from Fairbanks! This is the last you shall hear from me, Wayne. Arrived here 2 days ago. It was very difficult to catch rides in the Yukon Territory.

Peter Mayle, francophile phenomenon and author of A Year in Provence, brings another delightful (and delicious) account of the good life, this time exploring the gustatory pleasures to be found throughout France.

Ask the Pilot: Everything You Need to Know about Air Travel [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]
by Patrick Smith
|
|
More than ever, air travel is a focus of curiosity, intrigue and anxiety. This year, some half a billion passengers will ride aboard the ten largest US airlines alone. Fair to say each one has a question, a doubt, and a lingering fear in the back of his or her mind. We take to the air routinely, yet few of us understand the how and why of jetting from New York to London in six hours. Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Salon's popular air travel column, unravels the secrets and tells y... more info>>

Adrift In China [Secure Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)/Adobe]
by Simon Myers
|
|
This is not an objective account. How could it be, having consumed such a slice of my life? China is the third largest country in the world, holds nearly a quarter of the earth's population and claims a recorded history going back more than 3,000 years. Foreigners' reactions to China and its people veer from one extreme to the other, as if the gargantuan size of the place demands a sweeping response. This is understandable. Time is needed for such a big and complex country, and time is something... more info>> (Published: 2004)

Rough Guides Directions Venice, 1st Edition [Secure Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]
by Rough Guides
|
|
 Founded 1500 years ago on a cluster of mudflats in the centre of a lagoon, Venice rose to become Europe's main trading town between the West and the East, and at its height controlled an empire that stretched from Italy to Cyprus. The melancholic mood of the city is in part a product of the discrepancy between what Venice used to be, and what it has become: in effect, all of central Venice is one colossal sight, and you'd have a great time if you were to spend your days here just wandering the a... more info>>

Almost French [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]

A delightful, fresh twist on the travel memoir, Almost French takes us on a tour that is fraught with culture clashes but rife with deadpan humor. Sarah Turnbull's stint in Paris was only supposed to last a week. Chance had brought Sarah and Frederic together in Bucharest, and on impulse she decides to take him up on his offer to visit him in the world's most romantic city.

Most of these stories were actually written somewhere on the road: on a tropical beach, in some shabby restaurant and mostly in dirty holes calling themselves "hotel" underneath a 25-Watt light bulb.

After a year travelling through South America to Tierra del Fuego, the only continent he had never visited beckoned to him across treacherous waters.

If you’re visiting Prague because you’ve heard it’s a beautiful city, you’re unlikely to be disappointed.

Travels in a Thin Country [Secure Mobipocket/eReader (recommended)]
by Sara Wheeler

|
Squeezed between a vast ocean and the longest mountain range on earth, Chile is 2,600 miles long and never more than 110 miles wide--not a country that lends itself to maps, as Sara Wheeler discovered when she traveled alone from the top to the bottom, from the driest desert in the world to the sepulchral wastes of Antarctica. Eloquent, astute, nimble with history and deftly amusing, Travels in a Thin Country established Sara Wheeler as one of the very best travel writers in the world.
