The Long and Wine-ing Road: with No Corkage Charge from Africa to Alaska Richard Brook

We gave it all up, a great paying job, condo on the Gulf in Florida where we watched dolphins frolic during breakfast, a good life so it would seem. We sold it all, lock, stock and barrel, got rid of all our stuff; the dust collectors and the baggage. Said goodbye to the job and bought an RV.then we hit the road! Courage and lunacy were the main ingredients for such a dramatic change of lifestyle. On a journey of discovery that offered wonderful sights and chance encounters with great people, we not only found a simple truth, but found ourselves again, the price we paid was to give up the rat race, the stress, the politics, backstabbing and a daily routine. It wasn't all plain sailing, but it was living. This then is the account of our crazy yet wonderful 3 year odyssey. With our gypsy blood boiling; yearning for freedom, for laughter and to leave the madness of the world behind, we really did some living!
