Opis

Not Quite There won't escort you to the front row of a concert. It's not about unlimited budgets and carefully crafted reality TV scenarios. Rather, it will leave you stranded at 1:00 a.m. in lower Manhattan. It will thrust you into the high reaches of beer-soaked bleachers to inhale the pungent aroma of marijuana as drunken concertgoers urinate on you. It will get you lost in Germany at nightfall, leaving you alone to drive the Autobahn with no cell phone and currency that only works in Switzerland. Too bad you don't speak German.
Not Quite There is a real-life account of the adventures and misadventures of what life "on the road" can bring. This book is about the perfect quest for the perfect place and the perfect experience, and the irony of always being Not Quite There. The skeleton might be accounts of travel experiences, but at the heart of the stories, the mishaps, and the people that create them is a glimpse at the answer to a question both complex and simple: where am I going?
