From Amazon:

D.G. Kaye is back, and as she reflects on some of her more memorable vacations and travel snags, she finds herself constantly struggling to keep one step ahead of the ever-changing guidelines of the airlines—with her overweight luggage in tow. Her stories alert us to some of the pitfalls of being an obsessive shopper, especially when it comes time for D.G. to bring her treasures home, and remind us of the simpler days when traveling was a breeze. In her quest to keep from tipping the scales, D.G. strives to devise new tricks to fit everything in her suitcases on each trip. Why is she consistently a target for Canada customs on her return journeys? D.G.’s witty tales take us from airports, to travel escapades with best friends, to reflections on how time can change the places we hold dear in our hearts. Her memories will entertain and have you reminiscing about some of your own most treasured journeys—and perhaps make you contemplate revamping your packing strategies.

My Review:

This was a nice memoir with a lot of chuckles along the way. I could relate to the changes in Las Vegas, and I hope the author has had a chance to visit Tahoe or Reno. I wish I’d had her problems with overweight baggage on hee trips around the world. As a little kid, I dreamed of traveling but never had the chance. As an adult, I never went out of state until age 32 – my honeymoon. That was one state over to Colorado and a six plus hour drive one way. The author’s had trips I can’t even begin to imagine. She’s had blessings with a loving mother, husband, and best friends for decades. She does include many travel tips if you fly.
