The Labow Rules of Travel are not for everyone: carryon luggage only, money and passports must be stowed on your body, and you only make hotel reservations on the day of your arrival.
These rules have, however, served Roz and her husband, Stanley, well since they married in June 1961. They have taken trips to 129 countries over fifty-five years, including ten years of traveling with their sons.
In Travels with Stanley, Roz's tales of missed flights, fights with taxi drivers, illnesses and accidents, and interactions with wildlife make for great entertainment--and also offer insights on how to get the most out of expanding your horizons.
Drawing on her travel diaries, each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of travel--whether it's one of Stanley's missions to Nicaragua as a plastic surgeon, visiting mountain gorillas in Rwanda, strolling the streets of Havana, Cuba, or researching their Jewish heritage.
There is no perfect way to travel, and that is, in part, what the book is intended to narrate. But you'll appreciate how fun it can be--and get plenty of guidance on how to enjoy your own adventures to their fullest.
