The chronicles of a man, his wife, and their travels in writing for TheCelebrityCafe.com. From the highlights of Europe to the down home cooking of the Deltaýat times, itýs irreverent; at times, its irrelevant; and occasionally at times, it actually makes sense.The times it doesnýt make sense are the ones you can feel free to blame the inadequacies of the editor.Hopefully, youýll feel swept away on their travels, and taken away on their adventures. Hopefully, youýll smile and get more than half of his jokes, or the author will be rather disappointed. But most importantly, hopefully youýll feel you didnýt waste your money on this book and will tell your friends how wonderful it is.

Hysterical! A guide to marriage and traveling,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Survive Your First Year of Marriage by Traveling: San Tropez, France to Helena, Arkansas (Paperback)
I heard about this book via a radio interview with the author. I immediately got a copy and found it an easy read. It's all mini-stories of every trip (25 or so in total), each exploring the destination and a bit of their relationship. I just ordered a copy for a friend of mine getting married!

This is NOT good.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Survive Your First Year of Marriage by Traveling: San Tropez, France to Helena, Arkansas (Paperback)
This book reads like a junior high school student's "What I Did On My Summer Vacation" essay. About every third paragraph starts with "Anyway...". In fact, in Chapter 21, three paragraphs in a row start that way. It's full of redundancies, misused words, poor punctuation and typos. The author invites you to blame these inadequacies on the editor, and refers to the reader "who actually spent money on this book without knowing the mess they're getting into by reading it." I thought this was self-deprecating humor, but it should serve as an actual warning. As should the picture on the front cover. I learned almost nothing about the couple's relationship, and very little about the places they visited, other that what they ate at each restaurant, and how long it took them to drive to the airport. (That's a slight exaggeration, but not by much). This book was very disappointing.

Great read for anyone who loves travelling!,
By Lori (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Survive Your First Year of Marriage by Traveling: San Tropez, France to Helena, Arkansas (Paperback)
I just finished this book and thoroughly enjoyed reading about the travel adventures of this couple. It provides great ideas of places to see and places to eat when you visit in a very amusing, easy-to-read manner. Get one for yourself, one for your friends, give it as a gift...spread the fun and joy of travelling!
