Mishaps and Misadentures: When Getaways Go Awry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781604950953)

Considering the time and energy we spend getting ready to "get away from it all" - the extra work to get ahead on all our projects and then planning and packing for the trip - we usually don't think about what we'll do if things go awry. So what happens after the getaway begins, and we're taken by surprise when we encounter all sorts of unexpected events? Hopefully we salvage our plans, make the best of things, and tuck the memories away under the category of "someday we'll laugh about this."

This book is full of stories about such times. Join 41 authors as they share snapshots from their own vacation mishaps and misadventures.
