A travel book matched only by the immortal Dave Barry's
17 Aug 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Erma Bombeck has crafted a glorious travel book that explains just why you should keep your behind firmly planted indoors. Over the course of the book, she goes to Mass in a church where people go topless (and yes, I mean the women), goes to Europe with the weirdest bunch of people ever to go on a tour, tackles the hard rolls from hell, and buys the tiniest mobile home in history.
She dryly comments on every weird detail of travelling further than five miles, from languages to airplanes to foreign bathrooms to travel snobs to stuffing yourself with food. Oh, and guess the meaning of this if you haven't read the book: "Number One Jesus Man."
BTW if you enjoyed this book, scamper off and check out "Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need" and "If God Had Meant For Us To Travel". These guys are a bit wackier, but just as funny.

The most humorous book I have ever read!
10 Jan 2006
Format:Audio Cassette|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first book I've read by Irma Bombeck and I bought it because of the rave reviews from other readers. I was more than pleasantly surprised. I am recovering from a broken ankle and needing a "little cheering up". This book did the trick. I was laughing nonstop. I would highly recommend it!

I've never read a Bombeck book I didn't like.......
20 April 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
& this was the best. You can litterally place yourself in her shoes & experience comical things you could never have imagined happening to yourself. The way she narrates really grabs you into the book & won't let you go, & when your finished you need another of her books or you'll go into withdrawl syndrome. It was a horrible loss she died & took her comical genius that no one else has mastered with her.
