For several years I’ve been pushing (bugging) Carol about
writing a book of our fantastic motorhome trip in 1978 to South
America with our family. Was a wonderful adventure that changed
all of us the way we look at our lives, and I thought it was worth sharing with
everybody in the world. So without thinking of how much work was involved into
writing and publishing a book, I plunged ahead into the project. It took about
a year of our time but we did it…! My
wife had lots of notes and comments about the trip on her dairy, and many
letters that she had writhen to my Mother in Law during the progress of the
trip for over a year, I added my on thoughts and experiences and some of the
kids recollections, and stared writing THE book. A number of times
during the process, the wish that I had never stared, really crossed my mind, but
the selfish inclination went away and the project went on, and as of today, a
reality, the book is finish and published, and it is available in hard copy and
E-book format for anybody who wants to read it, and hope enjoy it.
The book title is, ALL THE WAY TO ARGENTINA ,
it is the story of a family of seven driving a 24 foot motorhome, from Los Angeles , California
following the Panamerican Highway
all the way to Argentina and
Brazil .
Our motorhome, according to our knowledge, was the first ever to cross the
Panama Canal in to South America .
This reality brought
about some funny and not so very funny experiences during the
Adventure. All of us learned something every day, and most
important our kids did too, leaving for everybody the good feeling of accomplishment
and unforgettable life understanding.
