Undertaking a trip like this requires a great amount of temerity. What I especially like about this book is her attention to details that could easily have omitted or trivialized. If you've done any sort of tour like this, you can appreciate her annoyance at Chris "The Sponge" interrupting a romantic anniversary date or having a heated argument with her spouse during an especially excruciating ride across the midwest (howling headwinds all the way).
She writes about her experiences of arriving in Egypt or cowering in a road side "potty," sheltered from the rain, well enough to make you feel like you've been there. Even if you aren't able to take a trip like this, you can still experience it from the book.

i myself am not a bicyclist, however barb and larry transported me around the world with them, and i didn't want it to end.the part that brings a tear to my eye is that this woman took life by the horns. i was so sad by her tragic death even though she has been gone awhile. i felt i knew this couple personally.goes to show life is a gift, don't squander it.i wish i could get more info on her, i don't want to say goodbye. can anyone tell me what larry has been up to since?

A friend gave me the book when he learned I was planning a bike tour of New Zealand. I made a lot of mental notes as a result of their lessons learned, and wish I had the courage to go where they have gone, now 20 years later. I too mourned the tragedy her death and Larry's incredible loss after the tour... but I have to think she went to her grave with no regrets.

I'm one of the "characters" in the book . . .
It was tough for me to read Barb's book. She was a good friend of mine and I learned a lot from Larry and Barb. But, reading her book was like reading out of my own journal. Lesen Sie weiter...

Interesting story, average writing
Let's be honest, this is not the most well written book in the world. But that's part of the charm. This is a real story about real people who experienced what many of us dream... Lesen Sie weiter...
