I still have to finish reading the book, but up until now atleast it has been a lot of fun to read. Short stories that are perfect to read before bedtime for example. The stories are really relatable as well, and they put atleast my small travel mishaps into perspective!
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed this very funny book while on holiday in San Francisco. All of the short stories had me laughing out loud and are a perfect California book.

Laugh out loud hysteria!
6 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
I picked this book up on a recent trip to San Francisco to read on the plane home to Texas. All I can say is, don't read this book on a plane unless you know the person sitting next to you WELL - it had me laughing hysterically (and loudly). Fortunately, I was sitting with my husband...
The only possible drawback is that it really does deal mostly with things that women can relate to. From explaining a gynecological problem in a foreign language to being the less-than-perfect body on the beach with bikini clad babes, it definitely speaks to the woman traveler. As for me - I could definitely relate. Buy it for your next plane ride!

Cute Travel Stories
14 Nov 2004
Format:Paperback
A cute collection of travel stories by women. I thought it would be funnier than it was. Many of these essays are older and published previously.
A few of the essays stood out (those by Sandra Tsing Loh, Jennifer Leo, Christine Nielse, Sarah Vowell, Christine Michaud, Alison Wright) and others were soon forgotten or difficult to get through (Anne Lamott, Deborah Chaney, E. Jean Carroll, Michele Peterson, Margo Kaufman).
One thing for sure, is that reading these stories makes you want to travel.

So-so collection...
5 Mar 2005
Format:Paperback
These stories are all about women in various traveling situations. I expected more of them to be funny, but hardly any were. Some of them were downright stupid, actually. Quite a few locations were covered, but many of them didn't really give me a good sense of place. I didn't think this was a good book, travel or not.
