More Traveler's Diarrhea

Andy Bombeck is at it again with a sequel to his humorous travel memoir, Traveler's Diarrhea.

What's it called? More Traveler's Diarrhea, of course. And he's created a "fancy website" to help promote the companion books, with a third title on the way.

"I'm the only one who can't get enough of Traveler's Diarrhea, my first book and a metaphor I'm using for everything that goes wrong traveling," he quipped. "I can't be the only person who finds travel screw-ups far more entertaining than hearing about a boring museum, landmark, natural wonder, beach, restaurant or the worst - the freakin' weather!"

Filled with 150 candid color photos "with smart-aleck captions," Bombeck's second book takes the reader from the Himalayan Mountains in Northern India to Hanoi on a hilarious journey outside the comfort zone.

"There are a number of words used to describe More Traveler's Diarrhea - misjudgments, follies, foolishness, slip-ups, blunders, snafus, bloopers and boo-boos - but I'm hoping for entertaining!" he writes in the foreword.

The two books are available as ebooks as well as in hard and soft cover from Xlibris.

Bikram Yoga is a supposed beginner's level yoga class with 26 stances - or more aptly, pretzel shapes- conducted in bright, fluorescent lighting, at a recommended temperature of 105 degrees. That's right, one hundred five. Degrees. Fahrenheit. 1-0-5. I fell for my friends' lies, tricks and ploys hook, line and sinker. I actually believed them when they said it would not b ...
