In the year 1960, Robert and Fran Smith found themselves ten years into their marriage and careers. Though they were stable and happy, they were bored and wanted more out of life. Robert applied for and was offered the Fulbright scholarship, an academic grant that would allow him to travel to study another culture’s approach to his profession. What resulted was a travel adventure that would change the pace and attitude of Robert and Fran’s life together for many years to come.

"Time Out: A Fulbright Year of Travel, Adventure, Fun and Discovery in Great Britain and Europe" recounts this exciting time in the Smiths’ life from beginning to end. From finding housing in London to drinking Scotch in the Highlands of Scotland, the Smiths learned the importance of tolerance, patience and seeing the world from another culture’s perspective. They learned different approaches to solving similar problems, and they came to realize that an open mind and heart could turn even the most disastrous events into pleasant memories and learning experiences. In short, Robert and Fran Smith found what they sought – a renewal of life, laughter, love and an outlook on life that reminds them that there is joy to be found in all that surrounds them.

Complete with 201 photographs, "Time Out" is a delightful travelogue that is perfect for either the seasoned explorer or armchair traveler. It is a trip not to be missed!
