Flynn Tales is comprised of two stories providing rich insight into fascinating family history through anecdotes relating to travel. One set in 1954, tells of leaving the US with few plans other than what ship they were traveling on and the first few stops of the trip. Bess and her husband confront common travel experiences of the time; you might encounter similar happenings while traveling in a foreign country where you don't understand the language. They traveled before the conveniences of modern technology and relied on letters sent through the post and contact with various travel offices. Europe was a land of many borders and different currencies; this and their advanced years added to the complexity of the trip. You'll confront common travel experiences of the time and find some impressions have changed little. The second story takes place in the mid-1930s. It's the story of Jimmy Flynn; a casual statement shared with his family and a series of serendipitous events that propelled him on a journey beyond his expectations. He encountered hard work, different cultures and economic classes. He shares the story of his exploits with you from a trip that opened the door to his independence and was to become the first of many exciting and unique adventures in his life.
