This is a celebration or commiseration of my 75 years on the planet. As Paul said 3/4 of a century, who would have thunk it. All of these events are completely factual and hopefully, chronologically accurate.I had a lot of enjoyment compiling the book and I hope that others will also gain enjoyment from reading it. I have decided to publish in both ebook and paperback versions. The ebooks will be as complete as possible but to reduce printing costs I will have to trim the colour paperback version by about 25% but, we are publishing the monochrome version complete as per the ebook. I will retain the colour manuscript for possible colour printing later on.My 75th was a memorable milestone visiting Shetland for the very first time. We were so impressed that we have decided to visit again in a few years but this time in the Summer months so everywhere will be open, it will be warmer and not so much wind.The next book, if I am still around, will be on my 80th birthday or possibly 2020 or perhaps even both.. I believe I will have enough material to add an interesting additional stage to my experiences.I have already planned the return trip to Shetland and in the process of planning another North American Odyssey. Whether this will become a reality time will tell but at the very least I will do another Odyssey book based on virtual reality.
