This book is a collection of trips that were taken with my family and friends. It is a random sampling of some of the trips we took over many years. It is a collection of journal entries that were recorded at the time of taking the trips. The names were changed to protect the innocent and events and places have been fictionalized to suit the story. I hope that in some small way, this collection of journal entries honors a fortunate life of being able to safely travel our world.

Traveling in Time and Space is about love, the love Jesus has for us and our earth. He warns us by saying, “It is serious, very serious.” He is referring to the many problems facing our society and our earth today. He also predicts coming disasters unless we change direction soon. He predicted the September 11, 2001 bombing of the World Trade Centers, he predicts more attacks and even more serious problems. He takes us on a journey through the universe to show us other lives and worlds. We visit a possible future earth and a possible dead one, we visit angels and descendents, we visit societies wildly dissimilar and amazingly alike, and we visit with the spirit of Jesus Christ, the universal savior. Traveling in Time and Space is a learning process for the author as well as the reader. This book belongs to Jesus. He speaks to each and every one of us. It is up to us to listen.

"I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to." And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of smiling village where the movies from his youth were set. Instead he drove through a series of horrific burgs, which he renamed Smellville, Fartville, Coleslaw, Coma, and Doldrum. At best his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by obese and slow-witted hicks with a partiality for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost: lost to itself because he found it blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a foreigner in his own country.

Vacation Rules explores the psychology of vacations and the effects they have on our emotions and well-being. The authors use the PERMA model of positive psychology to propose 36 “rules” to assist readers plan and enjoy their vacations better. It suggests that rather than concentrating on the mechanics of travel—who we fly with, where we stay, which car we rent, which tour we take—we should first consider exactly why we want to go on vacation, what our current state of mind is, who we are traveling with, how we manage expectations and interruptions, and other issues of a strategic nature. From the first rule, "Vacation more, live longer" to the last, "Accept your fate", Vacation Rules offers advice that impacts directly on everyday vacation issues and decisions. It provides insight into the importance of autonomy and why being in control of your day to day activities, rather than being completely guided by a travel companion or a guidebook, is so important to achieving happiness.
