(PRLeap.com) "Let's Travel the World: Volume I", a new book by Jerry De Lange, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc."Let's Travel the World: Volume I" chronicles the author's remarkable travel experiences, beginning with humble family camping trips and accelerating into a lifetime of international adventures.
The book, spanning over 35 years of travel from 1966 to 2004, details a shift from confined, local family vacations to world-class exploration, kick-started by an unexpected journey with the U.S. Army. De Lange vividly recounts his introduction to global travel, including a miserable 23-day troop ship voyage to Vietnam and a memorable six-day "Rest and Relaxation" trip to Japan in 1967.
A World of Adventure Awaits:
Let's Travel the World: Volume I serves as an extraordinary travelogue, guiding readers through 37 unique chapters. Highlights of the collection include:
Cruising the Globe: From his first "real" cruise to the Mexican Riviera aboard the Pacific Princess in 1977 to adventures in the Caribbean, French Polynesia, and the Baltic Sea.

Europe's Classics and Contrasts: Touring the history and castles of England and Scotland, navigating the rivers and cities of Central and Eastern Europe, and the canals of Venice.
