"My Love Affair with the World" is a travel journal compiled of
more than sixty years of the memories, joys, and mishaps that a
family experienced together during their journeys around the world.
Author Douglas Powell's love of travel started when he was a
teenager in 1944. Alone, he bought a $69 round-trip ticket and took
a bus from New Jersey to California to visit family. On the way
home, the bus stopped in Washington DC, where the young and naive
Powell decided to boldly traipse onto the White House grounds to
take a better photograph of the Executive Mansion. When Secret
Service agents surrounded him, Powell quickly learned that he had
ventured further into the grounds than any other tourist had in a
long time. He eventually took his photograph from outside the
fence. Powell's diary entries, beginning in 1965 and ending in
2005, showcase the extensive travels that took him from the United
States to New Zealand, from South Africa to Hong Kong, and from
Morocco to Ecuador.
Powell has filled his travel diary with fun and charming
anecdotes that will entertain you as you visit faraway places
through his eyes, helping you nurture your own love affair with the
world.
