Alaska and Back: With Dave and Dorothy by Dorothy May Mercer

We need to be discussing it now. We need to have a plan in place with policies now. Should the state subsidy program for films and reality television programs continue?

Would you support a constitutional amendment that would allow public funds to be spent on private or religious K education? If such an amendment were to pass, would you then support voucher or some similar grant to parents of state funds that they could spend on private or religious education for their children?

Africa and Back: With Dave and Dorothy
I felt I was riding along with Dave and Dorothy, sharing all their good cheer, fun times, and minor stints of bad luck. It was like taking a fun road trip without leaving my computer and getting stuck in the mud! The author's plentiful and gorgeous photos wonderfully complimented her lively prose. Dorothy Mercer turns her fine novelist's eye to making this travelogue a wild ride that you won't soon forget.
I couldn't help wondering at the end: When is the sequel coming out? As someone who's dreamed of visiting Alaska and seeing Canada, this was the next best thing: The author does provide a satisfying amount of detail while keeping her descriptions entertaining, almost as though you're reading an exciting novel instead of another dry travelogue. One favorite scene was when they got stuck in the mud after making a wrong turn, and had to pull out all the stops to dig their way out! I could feel that "gooey" mud clinging to my feet as read her description.
They have a few frustrating moments, which they handle with humor and flair, but the main thing I took from his book was that I'd like to be standing outside their house in Michigan begging for a ride next time they embark on one of their great travel adventures!
