Summary: A jaded view of travel experience
Review: Anecdotes, quotes, and excess baggage accompany this jaded view of travel experience.

Summary: The best gift for us FREQUENT Travelers
Review: On a recent trip to Dallas I picked up this book and stood in the store for over 15 minutes laughing out loud. Every single traveler can relate to all of these ridiculous quotes and stories. The more your friends or family fly, the more they need this book. Here's a sample of some hysteria: "Immediately after Orville Wright's historic 12-second flight, his baggage could not be located." S. Harris. "Branson, Missouri: Vegas for people with no teeth." Dennis Miller. This book will be in my travel bag to keep me laughing.

Summary: Perfect gift for frequent travelers (including yourself)
Review: We loved this humorous collection of international grumbles about the mixed joys of travel. Curmudgeonly quotes from a wide-ranging assortment of grumpy notables from George Bernard Shaw to Dave Barry cover topics from specific destinations, from Akron to Winnipeg, plus notations on food, transportation, and accommodations. Great little book for bathroom reading, bedside tables, and whenever you're feeling grouchy and need a smile.
