Part reminiscence, part commentary, Around the World in 80 Months presents the author’s ’take’ on people and places in widely differing cultures during the period 2007-2014. Being based in three continents afforded opportunities to observe social and cultural realities in a variety of countries, while catching up with family and friends enabled him and his wife to roam through a fourth. Around the World in 80 Months is a celebration of sharing the joys of retirement and un-retirement, of negotiating the unexpected and of finding common cause with others.
