Hugh a proud American living in Portland Oregon was born in England and split his childhood between England and southern Ontario. A train derailment left him with a permanently fused neck, preventing him from turning his neck and making it difficult to navigate through traffic and unfamiliar geography. Thus, he signed up his great nephew James as navigator, map reader and apprentice. Hugh a past University of Toronto professor, Architect and Social Worker provide him with a rich and cultured background. His enlightened knowledge and intelligence draw a sharp contrast to James's naiveness, youthfulness and inexperience. While Hugh's thriftiness, neuroticism and idiosyncrasies are challenged by James's innocence, stubbornness and sense of humor. Hugh was confronted with a whole new challenge as he was never married or around children. He spent his life educating himself and enjoying the arts. He is very set in his ways and was not used to sharing his time, decisions or experiences with anyone, and now he has to deal with a wet nosed teenager who demands to be recognized. While James is thrust into an alien situation far from home and family . He has to learn quickly how to be independant and to hold his own in totally new social and living situations. They both have to learn how to live with the other as they traverse across Europe, taking in all of what it has to offer, every museum, historic site and city. Its full of comedic stories, situations with crazy behavior from these two odd ball travelling companions.
These contrasts in personality set the stage for a wildly funny adventure and story which will leave you in stitches.
