A journey that teaches him how - with a little creativity and a lot of guts - anything is possible.

From the Author:
PrologueWhen Stephanie and I started this trip around the world, we had noidea how much six months of traveling would impact our relatively sheltered lives.This is the story of those six months from its conception, through its evolution andeventually its conclusion (Itʼs never concluded). It would be next to impossible torelate every experience in minute detail without losing the significance of theevents. It would also take me longer than the trip itself to write that type ofaccount. What this book aims to do is show you how I went from a three-hundred-pound unhappy life insurance salesman with serious doubts about hismarriage and future, to a one-hundred-eighty-pound happy husband . . . withserious doubts about his future. The transformation is nothing less than magicalfor me. In six short months, I learned more about my capabilities and myself thanI learned in the last six years. Life is a search beyond Banana Pancakes - but wealways come back to them in the end . . .
