This book describes the author’s unintended immigration to America. After arriving in the USA, he spent thirty years traveling the globe for a new scientific employer before finally settling down with the love of his life to enjoy a happy and peaceful retirement. Despite an almost total lack of scientific education, he was fascinated by the science and scientists he became involved with, as well as by the sometimes strange and exotic places he found them in. His childhood dream was to travel the world and he certainly did that. If there is a moral to the story, it is simply this: never give up!
