Only a die-hard travel writer (which Schultz is - and one who claims descent from Mark Twain at that) could imagine that visiting all of these disparate places is remotely achievable. Nonetheless, just the notion alone is salivating - even if you will never ride an elephant in Botswana's Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta, or saunter languidly past the ruins of the ancient Guatemalan city of Antigua ("Spain's capital of all of middle America, until the epic earthquake of 1773," according...
