Congratulations on picking up this book.....it means that you have a passion, or at least a great desire, for travel. If you are expecting, however, a "travel guide," then this is NOT the book for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for an experience on the sometimes fun, sometimes tense, fearful or just plain gritty scenarios that can occur during travel, then this is the book for you. Having traveled with my wife for more than 30 years, we have traipsed around the world to over 100 countries which have fostered some funny, some gritty and some plain scary tales. Lest one think that...
