Whether a homebody or a gypsy, just about every one of us has a touch of the wanderlust in us. But what most of us never get a chance to do is indulge that impulse and travel the world, exploring new cultures, meeting new people and experiencing new adventures. Luckily, however, we can read about those who did get that chance. Margaret Wallace Conrad is one of those people, and she shares her travel experiences in her new work, "Ten Year Odyssey." Although she had lived all over the world throughout her life, it was not until 1983 that she took her first cruise to the Alaskan wilderness and began her travel adventures. She revisits them all here, only this time she takes the reader with her. From Russia to the Caribbean and everywhere in between, there are few places Margaret Conrad hasn’t seen. Infused with information on cultures, history, people and places, "Ten Year Odyssey" visits such exotic locales as Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Honduras, the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon. The tales Ms. Conrad recounts bring the world home and take the reader on adventures few will ever experience. Whether you are an experienced traveler or simply have a desire to be one, "Ten Year Odyssey" holds treasures just waiting to be discovered.
