360 Degrees Longitude: One Family's Journey Around the World September 16, 2009

The Highams (John, September, and their kids, then ages 11 and 8), recently packed up their Bay Area home, and left their jobs and schools, to experience other cultures around the world. Visiting 28 countries over 52 weeks, they shared a lifetime of adventures, including traveling on a cargo ship to the southern tip of South America, hiking the Inca Trail in Peru, trekking in the jungles of northern Thailand, and cycling in Europe. Join John and September for a multimedia presentation, featuring highlights of their travels. Find out what it took to plan for a year on the road, how they home-schooled their kids, and what they learned along the way. Following the presentation, John will sign copies of his new book, 360 Degrees Longitude.
