Former United Press International reporter Michael S. Barrett spent several years in the Middle East and Europe as a foreign correspondent and editor during the mid-1970s. While reporting daily on affairs of state, political trends and a myriad of socioeconomic events and activities, he also produced a weekly "column" for friends and family that went far beyond his job as a wire-service reporter. The result was a private collection of 184 Ramblings, of which this volume includes 63. Most of them take place within or outside of wartorn Cairo, Egypt, hence the name Desert Ramblings. What was it like to cover the Shuttle Diplomacy of Henry Kissinger, deal with the political craziness of Muammar Qaddafi's Libya, travel without a visa to report on the murder and funeral of King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, or watch as an 18th Dynasty Egyptian tomb was uncovered? Meet the fellahin, the common folk, and stop by a Cairene barbershop for a quick trim. Visit the fabled Cecil Hotel in Alexandria, or far-out Mersa Matruh near the border with Libya, not to mention prewar Lebanon, perplexing Jerusalem or warm and friendly Amman, Jordan. Here and there you'll learn more about '70s Paris, Brussels, London, New York and even Seattle, Wash, the author's hometown. Barrett's dry, tongue-in-cheek humor is everywhere in these vignettes, which can be read in any order, and at 650-700 words, each tale takes only a few minutes to read. Experience glimpses into a world few writers ever write about. Enjoy the journey.

One of the longest running story series for children is "The Bobbsey Twins" and it has delighted children and their parents for over a hundred years now. Follow the adventures of two sets of young twins at the turn of the Twentieth Century when there were no telephones, radios, or televisions, and horses and carriages were common-place. * * When the series begins (1904), Bert and Nan are eight, and Flossie and Freddie are four. The twins enjoy wonderful days filled with sunshine and love with their playmates, Grace, Nellie, and Charlie, and get into and out of trouble as only little kids can manage. Their dog, Snap, and their cat, Snoop, go along on many of their adventures as they go to school, deal with bullies, have sled races, and find out who set fire to their boathouse. Then they travel to a lodge in the country during the school holidays and escape a snow slide, get lost in the woods, and solve the mystery of Mr. Carford's missing money. Finally, they spend a summer vacation on a Houseboat that seems to be haunted as things keep disappearing from the kitchen! * * "The Bobbsey Twins" is one of the many book series written in the early 20th Century by the Stratemeyer Syndicate. The first book in each series was written by Edward Stratemeyer, who then produced outlines for the other books in the series and hired writers to produce the actual books using a pseudonym. For the Bobbsey Twins' series this was Laura Lee Hope. * * "The Bobbsey Twins at School" and "The Bobbsey Twins at Snow Lodge" were published in 1913, while "The Bobbsey Twins on a Houseboat" was published in 1915. All three were written by Howard R. Garis. * * This edition includes the original twelve illustrations. * * Check out the other Laura Lee Hope children's and juvenile books published by Flying Chipmunk Publishing!

Name a place on the planet, and there's a pretty good chance that Steve Bannow has been there. He regularly leaves home for at least a month at a time, visiting more than one country during each trip. This type of travel is complicated and challenging, and too many people try it without knowing what they're getting into-and their experiences suffer as a result. Bannow walks you through how to get the most out of your travel, providing expert advice on: finding suitable accommodations at a reasonable price; dealing with unexpected problems while traveling; overcoming communication barriers; picking the right traveling companion. You'll also get practical advice on other basics, such as packing, staying safe and secure, and making friends with diverse groups of people. In many ways, the most important task you need to complete before setting off on an adventure is to plan. Learn from the experiences of others, make the most of your money, and enjoy truly life-altering journeys by Traveling Deliberately.

Vintage" caravans have quite recently begun to attract much wider attention than they had previously enjoyed. Those that haven't collapsed in a forgotten heap long ago are being dragged out of hedges and barns and restored by enthusiasts to their full period glory - and it is not hard to see why, for the wonderful variety and in many cases sheer boldness of their styling, ranging wildly from mock Tudor to teardrop streamline, makes them extraordinarily attractive to today's eyes, accustomed as we are to the bland uniformity of current offerings. In this book may be found details of manufacturers in Britain who started up before World War II. About half of them had ceased trading by 1939 and a number of others did not return to production after the War. Where makers did start up again details have been included and, whilst nearly all of these have since gone out of business, Carlight and Eccles are marques which still exist today - albeit under different ownership. All of them, from ABC to Yorkshire, and their products, are included in these pages, with the exception of the ones of which there is no surviving record. Roger Ellesmere's painstaking research over a number of years has yielded information on 177 makers from this period, whose outputs ranged from around 300 caravans per year down to six, but it is doubtful whether even 20 of these firms were producing the 50 vans a year needed to qualify for membership of the Caravan Manufacturers' Association. Accompanying the text are more than 300 illustrations, a pleasing mixture of archive photographs with reproductions from manufacturers' advertising and publicity material, including some splendid period artwork. This ingredient in particular gives a strong flavour of the days when these caravans were to be seen out and about on Britain's roads, heading for happy holidays. Published in association with The Caravan Club, this book surely has a place on the bookshelf of every caravanner interested in how the caravans we know today have evolved over the 90-odd years since the first trailer caravans were built for sale. It is hoped that the publishers will soon be able to bring out Volume Two, in which Roger Ellesmere will deal with the many hundreds of firms who took up making caravans after 1945.

When I wrote my first book, Journeys of a Lifetime, in 2004, it reflected how dreams of mine, of visiting unknown places in the United Kingdom, countries across the North Sea in Europe, and seemingly far off continents of America, Africa, Asia, and Australia became reality. That was mainly due to the advent of air travel, package holidays, and the massive growth of international travel in the second half of the twentieth century. Nine years on from that book, my traveling has continued, and in that time, having seen the arrival of grandchildren, naturally they have joined in some of the journeys. Although places visited in that time include some return trips to old favorites, this book reflects only the new places visited. In particular India, the Middle East, the Far East, and nearer home Eastern Europe, all are featured more this time. Also, as we now have an Aussie part of the family, naturally Australia is also a regular destination. Although the United Kingdom is much smaller in area than the others, it is packed with wonderful places to visit, so trips at home are still often on the itinerary. In addition, cruising has taken off in the last decade a bit like package deals to Europe did in the 1960s and has added a new dimension to the journeys made. Cruises are featured several times in this book. More Journeys of a Lifetime reflects the further growth in long-haul travel and the massive increase of cruising. Hope you enjoy my further travels around this small world of ours, going on from those early dreams of mine and continuing to do so!
