Quite a ride!
My only problem with it is that her writing style was rather jumpy - there might be several subjects and locations in one paragraph, and I often got lost as to where we were and what we were doing. This is more a "travel writing" book than an RV book, and very interesting reading. . . Then it didn't seem to matter, I just enjoyed the ride.

A Kick in the Pants!
" The author, "Charlie" as you'll get to know her, makes the trip real. I bought this book thinking "one day, when we retire, maybe we'll go. All the details are given, with explanations of what to take, when to go, what to watch out for, and what to see while you're there. More importantly for us, however, was the underlying theme of the book. . . GO AND DO IT! "Charlie" points out repeatedly, "I did it, so can you. " Use some common sense, but GO!

This book gave us the kick in the pants to pack up our two small boys (2. 5 years and 6 months old), buy a small RV, and GO! We didn't want to wait for retirement. Ten weeks and 12,000 miles later, we had the time of our lives. We also had memories of things that most people only dream of doing!

My father borrowed this book from me, fell in love with the stories of faraway places, and took off to see it for himself.

The book's a great motivator, and Charlie is a down-to-earth storyteller. Thanks, Charlie, for the kick in the pants!.

RVing Alaska and Canada

I read about "Charlie's" adventures twice through and couldn't resist going there myself. This book is a GOLD NUGGET for Alaska Travelers or Arm Chair Travelers. Although I traveled by car I included many of the places which I enjoyed in her book. I found many delightful tiny villages and friendly Alaskans like she wrote about. My trip was unforgetable.

Whether you're an "armchair traveler" or you're planning to visit Alaska, this book is a MUST. I give it five stars!
