Fly with Me

Fly With Me captures the wild and exciting stories of a journalist and his wife as they navigate all of the exotic and unusual corners of the globe. Making friends with a million penguins in Patagonia or roaming the range with gauchos on Brazil's Pampas, Walter Gowing manages to out do himself with every new stamp in his passport. He's been lost in the air on a disabled plane at night after the radar failed, escaped from a whispering glacier and topped it all off by riding on a racing ostrich in South Africa. Don't forget about the dignitaries - whether it's finding his way into a welcoming line up for the Prime Minister of New Zealand, or the glamorous life of a Pan Am flight attendant and her encounter with President John F. Kennedy, Fly With Me has it all. Experience America's ghost towns, ride the rails of the Australian outback and evade pirates off the coast of Africa in the pages of this thrill-seeking memoir.
