"Tour guide and all-around wacky traveler Brian Thacker offers his adventures with different modes of transportation in this laugh-out-loud collection of travel stories. For Thacker, the journey has often proven more interesting, entertaining, and amusing than the destination. Related are mishaps with fairly normal forms of transportation—a hazardously drunken subway ride in London and a hike through the Sound of Music–esque hills of Austria with a man named Hans. Also included are anecdotes about bizarre forms of transportation in unusual locations, such as a suicidal donkey tour through the Greek Isles, a treacherous voyage by yacht off the coast of Albania, and a ride on a particularly grouchy camel."
