Memories of South Pacific Islands and an African Safari, the third in a series, is a book about traveling to exotic places, in the early 1970s, by a woman who loved to travel and had the money to do it in style. But it's more than that. It's a book about the joys ad sadness that come with enduring friendships. Marjory takes her readers to the Polynesian Cultural Centre near Honolulu; to geysers that look and feel like modern-day Hades in New Zealand; to a 6 a.m. sheep shearing in Australia, an elegant cocktail party in Enugu, Nigeria; to a guard with a gun who took a "no swimming" sign a little too seriously; and to a lesson on how to tell when a rhino is about to charge. She takes you, also, into the sadness of seeing a dear friend through a tragic car accident and the laughter and frustrations of a long trip shared with these friends.
