About the Book
Some years ago, a Canadian travel campaign aimed at the United States described the country as “The World Next Door.” It is a spectacular place to visit, the “world” that is so close to us, filled with sparkling, friendly cities, incomparable natural areas, world-class museums and national parks, and lovely people who invariably welcome the visitor. Jack Dold, Director of Golden Gate Tours of California, takes the reader on a coast-to-coast tour, exploring nearly every facet of this beautiful Canadian world. Six imaginative tours with the alumni of the University of California, Berkeley, take you from Atlantic to Pacific and from the U.S. border to the Arctic, exploring Newfoundland and the Canadian Maritimes, the unique Province of Quebec, the frozen north of Hudson’s Bay Company and the Land of the Midnight Sun along the Alaska Highway and the route of the Klondike. Visit Canada’s superb cities, filled with welcoming people and attractive parks and museums. Enjoy the incomparable beauty of unfettered nature, and relive the drama of a nation of explorers and trappers and immigrants who slowly came to populate their enormous land.
About the Author
As the owner of Golden Gate Tours in California, Jack Dold has traveled extensively throughout the world, visiting almost 100 countries over a period of forty years. Much of that travel has been north of the border, where he led more than fifty groups into all ten of Canada’s provinces as well as the northern Territories. Many of those tours were with the alumni of the University of California, Berkeley, the “Golden Bears.” In the course of those tours, Jack wrote extensive journals, describing not only the places that he visited, with insights into the culture and history, but also introducing many of the travelers who joined him on his tours, and hundreds of Canadians who welcomed them into their country. This is Jack’s fourth book with AuthorHouse. His writing includes two novels, Crosshairs, and Boris, and You Don’t Stop Living, a journal description of his wife’s successful battle with 4th stage cancer. Now retired from the travel business, Jack continues to explore the world, always with a keen eye toward the wonders that are waiting to be discovered.
