Having used Lonely Planet guidebooks many times over the years, I was keen to get started on this book as soon as I got it, and was not disappointed. However, if you're looking for a conventional A to B type travel read then you may be let down. This book is the story of a lifelong journey that will leave you breathless and inspired. It's a story of ambition, determination and incurable wanderlust. I read it from cover to cover with hardly a breath in between and re visited all the places I've ever been to as the story unfurled.

Bought this before we travelled around the world for 4 months with our 4 and 2yr old - we went from the UK, USA, Oz, NZ to Malaysisa and Borneo
It really didn't give us anything new we hadn't gained from the general Lonely Planet books.
Of course you have to plan, of course you need to make certain some standard facilities are near by and of course you need to think about safety - but a standard trip to London would prepare you for that.
We found all the countries we visited geared up to travelling with kids, hotels/restaurants would go out of their way on portion size / healthy eating and most countries have officially sanctioned tourist offices - these were especially useful in NZ and Malaysia.
I would recommend this ... Read More:

Books : Unlikely Destinations: The Lonely Planet Story
I picked this book up at a bookshop at the Hong Kong Airport and I found it a most fabulous read. Tony and Maureen Wheeler recount the story of Lonely Planet from its very beginning to virtually today.

Its starts off with how the two met in London, married and then set off on an overland trip from London to Sydney. Having arrived there, they decided to put all their notes of the trip into a book, which became the first Lonely Planet Guidebook.

The story then sort of divides into a two-track narrative. On the one hand the authors recount all the challenges and pain any business goes through from its origins to success and if you have or had this experience yourself you will find a lot of familiar information. Towards the ... Read More:

Books : A Stranger Came Ashore: A Story of Suspense
This is the book that actually got my daughter to read on her own. Previously, she had read only what was required in school and very little on her own. This is a book I started reading to her at bedtime (she was almost 12 or 13 by then). About two thirds through the book I had to be out of town for a few days, and when I talked to her the 2nd night she said "I hope you don't mind, but I read the rest of the book. It was so exciting I couldn't wait for you to get back home." From then on, she was a much more enthusiastic reader.

I was just as enchanted by the book. Mollie Hunter writes wonderful books and I loaned the Pistol in Greenyards to a young man who was having a such a terrible time reading that he was just giving up. The story ... Read More:
