5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, concise, thorough, and interesting. I'm ready to go!!, January 27, 1999

By A Customer

I've been thinking of taking off and doing some extended travel but have been held back by several fears... job, security, money, house, children... what happens to them all??! Mr. Malarkey addresses these and so much more. He opens your eyes to the possibilities and relative ease of extended travel. He takes you logically from deciding to go (pshycologically the hardest step), through the planning process (money mgt, dealing with job, home, children, etc), getting ready to go (budget, transportation, etc.), departure, living on the road (lodging, security, money, healthe, etc), staying in touch (news, mail,etc), getting the most out of your time (shopping, cultural/enviromental, journals, photos, etc), and your return. Tons of useful advice!! Amusing relevant real life scenarios and trip trivia are interspered throughout keeping the read light and enjoyable. Black & white photos add inspiring images for the mind (though color photos would be nicer!!) This book answers all my questions and many more I didn't know to ask!! What a time saver!! Well worth my $10 investment.
