Tony Wheeler was born to travel. His father worked for an airline. For the first 16 years of his life，Wheeler and his family lived in many different countries.
In the early 1970s，Wheeler met a young woman named Maureen. They soon married. Before getting jobs， Tony and Maureen wanted to travel. They took a year-long trip from London，through Asia，to Australia. On the trip，they visited places like India， Iran， and Afghanistan.
When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia，people asked many questions about their trip. To answer these questions，Wheeler wrote a guidebook called Across Asia on the Cheap . The book told people about different countries' weather，customs(风俗），and places to see. But unlike travel guides in the 1970s，Wheeler’s book also talked about places most tourists did not go. He also wrote about unusual things to see and do. The book was very popular．
Wheeler and Maureen started a company called Lonely Planet. They continued travelling. They wrote guidebooks for each place they visited. Today，400 people work for Lonely Planet. The company has over 650 guidebooks. Wheeler still writes about travel “hot spots” (for example，Cambodia in Asia and Croatia in Europe). For more information，read the books!

If you plan to take your pet on a trip，prepare ahead of time. At least two weeks before you leave，take your pet to a vet. See if he or she is tit for travel and ask if he or she should have any medicine before leaving. The vet may suggest certain pills for sickness or for calming the pet.
Some states or foreign countries have health laws that say animals must have certain injections(注射)before they can be allowed to enter. Your vet may have this information. You can also get help on the United States and Canadian laws from a book published by the Department of Agriculture which some libraries have. For information on foreign countries， check with their consulates (领事馆).You can also ask the airlines on which you are travelling.
