Sports writer Graham Fisher and his wife Joan get the travel bug. Both undergo cancer scares after planning a round-the-world trip only after an edge-of-the-seat ordeal do they make it. Five and a half weeks later they are back, exhilarated but broke. They decide to sell their beloved Victorian home to fund more exotic adventures and that too is a roller coaster ride. Graham Fisher recalls the thrills and the pitfalls and adds some sardonic thoughts about modern travel and life after retirement. It is a tale that will strike a chord with those of his generation and inclination.
