Summary

"Never travel with someome you don't love," Ernest Hemingway once said. In Wish You Weren't Here!, a hilarious anthology of some of the best writing on the worst of travel, it's easy to see why. This is a laugh-out-loud book, proof that it's far more enjoyable to read about travel mishaps than to experience them. Book jacket.
