This reviewer has picked out the funny parts of the book and done a review.
"This is a family travelogue – a day-by-day recounting of flights, hotel stays, restaurants, shopping, and tourist sites that the author and her extended family have experienced over the years. And they’ve been to a lot of places, including Italy, Spain, various locations in the US, and the Caribbean Islands, among others.
There are many down-to-earth descriptions of what it’s like to travel, even including getting sick or getting overheated.
There are cautionary tales about such things as wearing comfortable shoes while walking in Venice because of the uneven cobblestone streets.
Not expecting an elevator in Barcelona to take you back down the mountain and possibly damage your knees going down 296 steps.
One especially interesting anecdote involved eating at a restaurant in Venice, thinking they were getting a nice fish meal for only 6 Euros each. It turned out that the price was PER GRAM of fish. Meaning the family ended up paying a small fortune for seven meals.
And there’s the embarrassing story about how the fire alarm went off in a Miami hotel, with everyone dashing down the stairs to the parking lot, only to discover it was a false alarm. And to discover belatedly that the author was wearing a sheer nightgown. Another cautionary tale, perhaps.
The author also includes family photos from most of their many vacations, but no pictures of the numerous souvenirs they bought wherever they went."
I am also sharing another short review.
