Book excerpt: Musings of an Inveterate Traveler III is the personalized experienced of a pleasure traveler to: Costa Rica, China, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. It includes text referenced pictures, personal comments and insights, history, travel snafus, animals, plants, people, places, humor, ironies, and the sheer joy of traveling as one of lifes greatest gifts. The book will be enjoyed by experienced and inexperienced travelers of all ages who can relate to the manifold experiences or who enjoy those adventures vicariously from the comfort of their easy-chair. The writing, like life, is filled with humor, ironies, ups and downs, twists and curves. It is written without trying to judge the world, its leaders, or its economic systems; it takes place over four years, one unrelated trip at a time, with my partner Jean (aka Jean Lou, Jeanala, JR,) and me as the only repeating characters. Each chapter contains opinions, personal preferences, various insights about other people and me. My musings involve 8 Dr. Robert H. Schram experiences common to all travelers; e.g., travel connection problems, errors and omissions, comic cultural contacts, joyful interludes, camaraderie, dining, shopping. Uncommon to many travelers I include spiritual musings about humans, animals, plants, rocks, the Earth, and the universe. Read, laugh and most of all, ENJOY!
