Why not go on around the world, not his original plan?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Kessell had no idea in 1958 what sailing on an ocean liner from San Francisco to Sydney might be like. Those were still the days when people took a boat to get somewhere, not just an over-hyped \"cruise\" on a floating amusement park. So let's step back sixty-five years, retrofit our passports, and join John on a boat to somewhere!\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 18, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51884399395104,"sku":"9798895431467","price":30.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/013pGZroBm9798895431467.webp?v=1781882512","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/around-the-world-not-counting-days-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
