Great read with none of the Lonely Planet attitude

I just received this book, and I couldn't put it down. This is the best travel journal I've read, and I've read a lot of them (I also liked, Off the Map: Bicycling Across Siberia, which is out of print). Lynette is an amazing writer, with none of the Lonely Planet attitude. She chucked her comfortable job in Australia and set off on her Bike Friday to see the world. An especially good read for Americans, who are unable to visit Cuba, thanks to the insane U.S. embargo, and the large number of Florida electoral votes. Sadly, Lynette is not a coffee drinker (see http://bicyclecoffeesystems.com).
