Produktbeschreibung

Not all who wander are lost, and not all who travel jet off to luxurious villas in the south of France, the ruins of the Aztec civilization, or even an exclusive ski resort in the United States. Instead, far and away the most frequent trips are to visit family and friends in their familiar suburban homes, or as part of an economy-class business trip, or even just navigating the labyrinthine hallways of an airport.

Matthew Plotecher details all of these (and more) with a keen eye and sharp sense of humor in this collection of writings from his trips -- mundane and magnificent -- collected from over the past 20 twenty years. Come with him as he journeys to the exotic locales of:

• Dayton, Ohio, as returning from a new job interview leads to a semi-serious eye injury.
• Cleveland, Ohio, and the giant puppet parade at the Baycrafters Renaissance Faire.
• Nashville, Tennessee, as a work trip to a convention center displaying characteristics of the Overlook Hotel brings about lessons into the nature of technology and chorus line dancing.
• The highways of New Jersey, in a taxi where time, space, and traffic laws have no meaning.
• The all-encompassing embrace of LaGuardia airport, where hours blend together and communication is but a myth from days gone by.
• And so much more!

Oh sure, there is the occasional jaunt overseas, such as to innumerable museums in London and to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, but in the end, Matthew details how the journey is often just as memorable, hilarious, and life-changing as the destination itself.
