Some of the best adventure stories come from misadventures-the pratfalls, faux pas, and vast embarrassments encountered on the road. These tales share those moments when the best of plans fall to the wayside-replaced by something unforeseen, and leavened by the saving grace of it all, a sense of humor. On this hilarious journey, you will:

  • Dine with Bill Bryson as he attempts to decode restaurants' ever-bewildering food options
  • Visit a pub in Ireland with Dave Barry and discover the worst Elvis impersonator in world history
  • Redefine the foundation of Christianity in a French class in Paris with David Sedaris
  • Overcome "Butt-Mind" on a tropical Mexican beach with Anne Lamott
  • Lie to get to the airport early with Adair Lara, and still be the last one to board the plane
