Requests:  0 Summary:  "In 2003, Albert Podell realized that he'd been to 110 countries in the world. What if, he wondered, he could go to them all? He would set foot in not just the well-known tourist destinations in Europe or the vacation spots in Latin America, but the little-known, far-off lands that most people don't know exist. In Around the World in 50 Years, Podell recounts the misunderstandings, detours, accidents, breakdowns, robberies, and even wars that he needed to overcome to visit every corner of Earth. He describes his encounters with voodoo rituals, fruit-bat pie, the Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon, Cuban counterintelligence agents, the New Guinea wigmen, camel caravans, the Lord's Resistance Army, and much, much more. With a wry, exuberant style, Podell's observations on the unusual and exotic places that lay beyond the usual tourist trails make this book a standout on the travel writing shelf"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.4092 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 910.4092 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.4092 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.4092 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.4092 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Podell Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.4092 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.4092 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 910.4092 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList
