  I had no idea that I would like Malaysia.  I even thought I might just fly through Kuala Lumpur and only see the airport. Life had other plans. As I travelled around South East Asia I would keep coming back, each time I would see a new side of Malaysia and I would see Kuala Lumpur differently - after all, each time I was a different person.From the rooftop pool in Kuala Lumpur to the ancient cloud forest in The Cameron Highlands, from orangutans and sun bears in Kuching on one side of Borneo to the sacred mountain Kota Kinabalu on the other, as well as discovering Sucimurni, the ancient principle of wellbeing at Tanjung Jara along the way.Although I started writing these mini-guides to share the hotel, spa and the rest, the retreat in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes, they are also just stories… …for the unadventurous adventurer, as well as the keen explorer, we each have our own way of experiencing life."You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.”“I’ve just booked my first holiday in 13 years!”"To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!" Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway"

  Hi there, I'm Pearl Howie (aka Pearl Escapes) and this is my guide to two incredible day trip escapes in Cozumel. If you have just one day to spend in Cozumel (for example, you're on a cruise) you have a really, really tough decision ahead of you.Normally I only recommend one sight or escape in each location, but I cannot pick between these two. I also normally recommend somewhere to stay, how to travel and a nice restaurant – but you won't need any of this if you're on a cruise that stops for one day in Cozumel.I started writing these guides because I used to get extremely burned out in my old job and couldn't even handle finding and booking a hotel and flight or figuring out what to do when I did take time off, so, I thought, "wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a guide that just gave you one perfect escape; the perfect hotel, spa, flight and restaurant."So that's what I did.

  A stirring tribute to America’s mightiest river by one of its greatest authors Before Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, world-famous satirist and the acclaimed creator of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, he trained to be a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River.   In this captivating memoir and travelogue, Twain recounts his apprenticeship under legendary captain Horace Bixby, an exacting mentor who teaches his charge how to navigate the ever-changing waterway. The colorful details of life on the river—from the reversals of fortune suffered by riverboat gamblers to the feuds waged by towns seeking to profit from the steamboat trade—fascinate Twain, and in his hands become the stuff of legend. Years later, as a passenger on a voyage from St. Louis to New Orleans, he vividly describes the stunning changes wrought by the Civil War and the steady advance of the railroads.   A valuable piece of history and a revealing look at the origins of a national treasure, Life on the Mississippi is a true classic of American literature.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
