In this tome, Jean and John Dillon open their old travel diaries to take us fondly back to the days of pre-millennium travel, when getting there was achieved with the use of maps and signposts, as opposed to pings and notifications, and being there was recorded in a journal. Whether for leisure or scholarly pursuit, Jean and John bring us to North America, Mexico, Europe, Hawaii, Israel - and most fondly of all, perhaps - to Greece. The diaries are frank, witty, and always entertaining. They represent the first sortie into travel writing for the authors.
