I need a book title
 
Hi All
I have received so many helpful suggestions from you guys, I thought I would try for another one - slightly off the wall.
The first part of 2011, I made a solo trip around the world returning in mid july. After a small bout with depression (about it being over I guess) I took someone's suggestion on this forum and did a book about my little adventure. By the time I finished it, it was over 300 pages. I have spent the last month or so editing the pictures and copy and now just about have it finished. My problem is I would like to have a really cute title for it. I find myself unable to come up with anything catchy.
It wont be on the NT Times best seller list, - just a coffee table book full of pictures and stories of everywhere I went. If it helps, I am 72, did the 6 month trip solo and with a 18 lb backpack.
There are a lot of really clever folks that look at this forum. Can you help me with some name for a book of a trip like this? I appreciate and will definitely consider any suggestions.
Thanks a bunch

Shrink

I have put your "problem" to a list of librarians/writers.
First suggestion from a member is "When I am an old man, I shall wear a backpack: adventures of a 72 year old world traveller"

YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE! All of your suggestions made me smile, several brought me laughter, and a couple brought me to tears. I really believe that Fodors folks are quite unique among the human race. Thank you so much.
Can I assume that I have your permission to use one of these? Now the hard part is going to be picking the best from the best. Again thank you for your cleverness, and eloquence.
