Travel account by a man who made a promise to himself that one day he would bring someone back from his travels to America for one month~ all expenses paid. His search puts him thru serendipitous experiences and amazing friendships.

... and, oh, by the way.... I think Brad Newsham's Take Me With You should absolutely be on everybody's must read list.

Eric Newby's 'The Last Grain Race' is an amzing story full of humor and adventure. Another one of his books is already posted somewhere here - 'A Walk in the Hindu Kush'.
The guy is funnier than hell in that dry, Bristish way and also had an amzing life.

The Last Grain Race follows him as a young man just starting out, who on a whim leaves the safety of his job and joins one of the last merchant sailing ships. It would prove to be the last journey from England to Australia to transport grain with these vessels from a bygone era, since WWII intervened. The stories of onboard life, tremendous storms, hilarious sailor's antics, different ports and being treated as the new boy on board are compelling.

I hate to see you go,
but I love to watch you leave.
