The Double Nickel Tour

When my copy of A Journey of Words arrived, I sat down, opened it to the first page of the first story, and started reading. I knew “Retribution” was in there, and I’d read it many times over before submitting. It was the other stories I couldn’t wait to read. So far, they have not disappointed.

Today’s story is “The Double Nickel Tour” by Dawn Taylor.

Brief synopsis of your AJOW story: A woman on her first international flight discovers her real journey is one of self-enlightenment.
What inspired you to write this story? A similar journey I took to overcome my fear of traveling.
