Great article, Patrick, and a flood of memories! I was too old for this book in my own childhood, but read it to my son in the 90s. He was more of a Sox on Fox fan, a book which I could recite from memory when he was young, because I read it so much. My son never had the yen to travel though…even that that was my passion. He’s grown now, and —as you would see from my Medium blog, now travel is all that I do. I’m writing to you from Mongolia! So, take heart, Patrick. Life is long, and if travel is in your blood, you will find a way. (Ps - in the meantime, why not follow Globetrotters on medium and travel vicariously?
