Australia in My Notebook: Where Were You When We Did This? (Traveling the World Book 3) by Charlie Hull Price verified 2 hours ago

Charlie and Sally Hull landed in Sydney Australia and flew out to Darwin, caught the bus to Katherine and then to Timber Creek, then headed back east to Alice Springs. They flew to Melbourne and took the bus to the capital city of Canberra and then back to Sydney. From Sydney they traveled to Strathfield and Katoomba and then returned to Sydney. From Sydney they flew back to the USA. All of this was accomplished in four weeks. They walked an average of seven miles a day, meeting people and snapping photos of what they saw--crocodiles, busy streets, sunsets on the ocean, street artwork and more. At every step they encountered problems, such as broken airplanes, a visa that would not go through, a passport that was not accepted, food allergies, sun rashes, canceled hotel reservations and more. But through it all, God protected and provided for them. This is their combined journal.

"Have I become a ghost? All I hear is divorcee, adulteress whispered behind my back while you get high fives. Dee please tell me, you never told anyone... about Sam." The book blurb is from M and Dee, my groovy early seventies pop culture memoir. The reviews describe M and Dee as an authentic 70s sounding groovy read, which it should because it really happened. So, with that said, instead of me describing the book, below is what the readers have said about M and Dee. "Ah, the 70s. This book captures well the free spirited, hitch-hiking, back-packing, train riding, grass smoking, free loving, relationship developing era of the early to mid-70's. The story contains humor, insights, quirks, and romance, but in the end it is a tragedy of the most unusual kind. Don't try to figure out the ending. You can't."
