Description
How does a poor country girl manage to fulfill her childhood dreams of traveling around the world? It took a long time and a lot of work, assisted by some "windows of opportunity", but Joyce Brooks has visited over 100 countries and sailed on 36 cruises.
My story begins when I arrived on this earth during the depression in 1933 on a farm and ranch in Central Texas. As I was seven years older than my only sibling, brother Delbert, I had to help with the care of the livestock and my most dreaded chore – working in the fields. I did not mind riding horseback rounding up the stock, but chopping that cotton and picking that corn was not my idea of fun, and something I vowed to get away from as soon as possible. As this was the days before television and there were no nearby neighbor children, I spent all my free time reading.
As I read of the far away places I dreamed that someday I would actually see them. My top three desires were to see the Taj Mahal in India, Paris, and the wild animals in Africa. But how would a poor country girl ever get out of Texas to do this?
