Aventura Alaska Brasil: Trip of a Lifetime William Carroll
 Book DescriptionAn American couple's adventurous 125 days and 24,876 miles of exploration while driving a Mercury coupe from Anchorage, Alaska, to Brazil's Rio de Janeiro. A highlight was transiting the Panama Canal and three days of cruising the Caribbean Sea because there was no other way to travel from Panama to South America.
