Description

Newlyweds Geoff and Irene Hewitt bravely decided to take time out from their lives in Northern Ireland during the 1980s and tour the world on motorbike. They managed to record on film the American leg of this tour as they rode through Monument Valley, the streets of San Francisco and stopped off to admire the view of the Grand Canyon. Geoff and Irene both share their memories of this life-changing experience and of their ultimate return to Northern Ireland to begin a family.
