Opis

Have you ever planned that once-in-a-lifetime vacation only to have it turn into an unmitigated disaster because of delays, lost luggage, miserable weather, bungled reservations, food poisoning or worse? Well, this non-fiction, humorous travel book by Tom and Hedy Valledolmo -- proud, card-carrying members of AARP and products of the baby-boomer generation -- teaches you how to transform a horrible experience into something wonderful. We've all heard the expression, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade" and that's the premise of this book. But it goes far beyond that. It will serve as a guide to tell you what tools to use to squeeze out the sweetest juice. So, shed those inhibitions. It's time to become a bulldog rather than a lap dog. You may think that your personality is too laid back to follow our principles, but you've always had it in you. It's time to awaken that bold spirit which has been hibernating deep in your soul. It's time to stop holding yourself back, time to take control, rather than be controlled. Life is far too short to always accept the status quo, no matter how flawed. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and it's your turn to slide down the slippery slope to prosperity. So, come along for the ride with the King and Queen of Compensation Nation and we'll show you how.
