Retired empty nesters Raccoon and his wife Trixie became late in life converts to the joys of independent travel. Over the course of several trips and volunteer assignments taken during the twenty-teens these wanderers take us on strange adventures to off the beaten path destinations in Africa, South America and to an island in a parallel universe. They would find out as much about themselves as the peoples and backwaters that they would visit. Wherever they went they found friendliness, resourcefulness, shared values, spontaneity, that renewed their faith in the goodness of people. Oh yes and they found humour, there was humour everywhere.
