"People often lament that they can't travel because their spouse or partner doesn't like to travel. Or that they have no one to travel with to their dream destination. I have to admit that I have very little patience for these complaints because, as your grandmother may have said, "Where there's a will there's a way!" So if you suffer from this malady, stand up, shake it off, and start planning. Leave that cranky husband at home, or that live-in girlfriend who would rather spend her time near her family. Every couple knows about negotiation. Let the games begin!"
 
 
"When I arrive at Glitterati Publishing’s Manhattan headquarters for my interview with Michael Clinton, I’m told he has just returned from Africa the day before, where he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for the second time. I’m expecting him to be tired, jetlagged, and perhaps – understandably – a little grumpy. But my fears are alleviated as soon as he enters the room and introduces himself with a wide grin and an energetic handshake. Clearly this is a man with the kind of boundless energy and lust for life reserved for the high-functioning super-achievers of the world."

"Michael Clinton’s passion for travel was awakened at the age of twelve, when he left his Pennsylvania home to visit relatives in Ireland. Six years later, he spent a hectic three months backpacking around Europe, discovering little known places in twenty-two countries. He did this in the company of people who, with the casualness of youth and the breathless excitement of adventure, became close friends, yet whom he has not met since. He describes these travels in the first two chapters, and thus sets the tone of enthusiasm that shines through the rest of the book."
