Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Travel is in the Kiwi bloodstream: whether bound for Kaiwaka or Kowloon, we have an insatiable appetite for living out of a suitcase and, in select cases, writing about it. Edited by Graeme Lay, this new anthology presents 35 stories by award-winning members of New Zealand Travel Communicators, or Travcom. Travcom was founded in 1991 as a forum for New Zealand travel writers and photographers. HOME AND AWAY marks the twentieth anniversary of Travcom's annual Cathay Pacific Travel Media Awards, which celebrate the excellence and diversity of contributors to magazines, books and online publications. The stories in this anthology span not only every continent but also the homeland, proving you don't have to go far to discover distance. A good travel story, says Lay, transports the reader to another place; so let this book carry you to Goa, Thailand, Fiji, Mandalay, The Everglades, Tahiti, Provence, Waitangi ...

Includes Travcom awards chronology.
