Title: Not worth the $
Product review: I bought this book in the expectation of a "laugh aloud" amusing book. I enjoy the other writings of several of the contributors, including Peter Mayle, Dave Barry, and PJ O'Rourke, but for some reason ALL these stories fell flat. I made it about half way through the book, and finally gave up. It was too painful. These mishaps were just dull and whiney. I believe I smiled two or three times, but never found anything amusing enough to elicit even a giggle. If you want enjoyable, humorous travel stories, purchase Mayle's "A Year in Provence", but leave this book alone.
