Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on November 11, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Douglas! Another year older, wiser, and still traveling strong. Your incredible journey through "The Last Resort" continues to inspire readers worldwide—proving that memoirs can indeed be adventurous, humorous, and timelessly captivating.

May your birthday be filled with laughter as memorable as your storytelling skills. Here's hoping the coming year brings you even more exciting adventures to write about—and fewer awkward travel mishaps (though those do make great chapters!). Keep exploring boldly; after all, the best stories often come from unexpected detours.

Cheers to you on this special day—may your passport stay full and your pen never run dry!
