I picked this book up last summer when I was on the North Shore for the weekend with my girlfriends. There was a cute little book store right on the docks by Lake Superior and I found this fun read.
I read most of this a week ago during the readathon but finished it and skimmed through it again while on the plane to Florida, which I thought was appropriate for this book. I literally laughed out loud at some of the funny happenings in this book….. travel nightmares, undergarment malfunctions, and one of my personal favorites – Ellen Degeneres fear of flying, hilarious description of the 6 peanut in flight snack, and of course, punching a nun.
If you travel – I think you would really enjoy this book and be able to relate to some of the funny stories within this book.
Other books in this series (and ones I think I will look for this summer when I am inevitably in that same book store again in Grand Marais, MN…)

Natalie – you will love it!
Sounds good and so funny…great for traveling.
It was perfect on the plane Laurel!
Now that does sound like an entertaining read!
It was fun Debbie!
My husband is hooked on funny travel books so we had this one and I read it before blogging. It was fun … the stories were pretty diverse but mostly amusing.
I agree Jenners – there were a couple stories I just skimmed but for the most part I enjoyed the book.
This one sounds like a hoot!! I totally love that crazy cover!
It is a great cover Staci!
Sounds hysterical! I’ll have to keep an eye out for this one!
There were funny stories of true travel mishaps!
I have got to get this book. Unfortunately most of my traveling mishaps weren’t of the funny nature. I do know how hysterical things can get, sometimes only in retrospect.
Love the cover.
I cant think of really funny ones for me either Pat. 🙂
Oh no, another series to add to my WL!!!
LOL Vicki! Yeah I am on the lookout for one of the other books now. Maybe when we do our yearly girls trip to Grand marais I will see if they have it.
The name alone made me chuckle. Sounds like it would be a great book for a readathon and a nice on for a break from heavier stuff anytime.
Thats when I read most of it Lisa. Just something filled with short funny stories. 🙂
Sand In my Bra – ouch, sounds painful.
I could see Petty Witter how it could rub you the wrong way…. LOL
Great review!!
This looks chalked up full of laughs… my kind of book!!
