Dusty Boots to Boardroom; follow your dreams
Life is short-so why not follow your dreams? After years of building separate careers, Catherine and I were drifting apart. The solution? A bold leap into the unknown: a journey deep into the wild heart of Africa. What followed was a journey of reconnection, challenge, and discovery. From unexpected detours to transformative encounters, this is the true story of how an African adventure reshaped our relationship, our perspectives, and ultimately, our lives. This is a tale of one couple's long drive home. This is more than a travel memoir, taking the slow, less driven road, it's an invitation to embark on your own adventure and emulate our journey. We capture the true voice of Africa, those making the continent work. Unexpectantly, we also bumped into the 'great and the good'; Hollywood actors and environmentalist, the odd mercenary and past warriors.What does one do after a military career? The book reflects on how the military mind adapts to the Boardroom.After 35,248 km on a single slow puncture (two Land Rovers, a few clutches and a bent steering rod), they arrive home in England, wiser, closer and more assured. They will not be the last, nor were they the first African adventurers, for very single journey is unique. Go find yourselves!

Hip to the Trip
This fully revised and updated edition of Peter B. Dedek's classic is a thorough dive into the history and current delights of America's Road in time for its 100th birthday! In 2026, Route 66 reached a major mile marker: it has celebrated its one-hundredth anniversary. Commissioned by the federal government as US Highway 66 in 1926, Route 66 has weathered many bumps in the road. The old road even survived a near-death experience in 1985 when it was bypassed by interstate highways and officially decommissioned only to rise again as a historic landmark and symbol of the independent American spirit and America's love affair with the automobile. Although much along the historic highway has been lost over the years, Route 66 still has a lot to offer. Old motels, vacant gas stations, vintage restaurants, and decayed tourist traps have been preserved and transformed into sites of reverence and memory. In the past few decades, the highway has evolved into a linear community, a heritage corridor, an American route of pilgrimage sustained by a series of preserved landmarks visited by tourists from all over the world. More recently built museums, visitors' centers, roadside parks, and Route 66-themed businesses offer tourists the chance to experience myriad aspects of the highway and the ideas it represents. This book examines the many meanings of Route 66 and how they relate to its past, present, and future. More an idea than a highway, Route 66 symbolizes a sense of freedom and benign rebellion against the constrained routines of modern life, a place where one can wander and live in the moment. The old road also represents community, wholesome enjoyment, and an entrepreneurial, independent spirit. Route 66 is a road of stories and legends.
