Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traveling overland through South and East Africa, I had to cross the Zambezi River three times in 1972. Starting in Sioux City, Iowa, it takes two and a half years traveling through fourteen countries on three continents. What will become my plan to travel to California begins in Ely, Nevada. Wanting to be original, I will head east. My circuitous route will take me rafting the Colorado River, betting all my savings on one spin of the roulette wheel in the Caribbean, and a van and Mediterranean villa in Europe, including a shuttle service between Paris and Amsterdam. In the Caribbean again, I restore and create a private nightclub in Historic Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Next, it's on to traveling and bartending in South Africa. From there, I travel overland through East Africa toward the coast to catch a ship to India. This requires crossing the monsoon swollen Zambezi River multiple times. I have to survive: military convoys, armed guerillas, mined roads, landslides, dead ends, cave-ins, crocodiles, mosquitoes, and a train wreck; and experience Eden along the way. My voyage begins on the moon.
