About the Book

When Peter asked Ellen to marry him some fifty years ago, she asked what he thought their life would be like. He answered, “I will show you the world.” Their own grand tour has taken them to seven continents, to over 150 countries, and to favorite places many dozens of times. Their love of history, geography, and wildlife has led them to explore the polar regions, the African savanna, and the ruins of great civilizations. In this volume, they not only recount the best venues but also share their practical insights into how to plan a perfect trip.
