Are We There Yet?: Perfect Family Vacations and Other Fantasies

by Scott Haas

Are We There Yet?: Perfect Family Vacations and Other Fantasies Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Scott Haas thought that whisking his wife and eight-week-old daughter off to Europe was a wonderful idea. After all, wasn't great food, enriching travel, and a cultured, foreign locale the perfect recipe for family bonding? But after just one week in Switzerland, in a house with a leaky roof, an indoor beehive, and in-laws who wanted to be roommates, any illusions of an idyllic family sojourn fell to pieces. And this was just the beginning.

With heartfelt honesty, Are We There Yet? chronicles the Haas family's trials, triumphs, exhaustion and elation as they travel-and eat-their way through vacations in Europe and America. Anyone who's ever taken the family anywhere will relate to these wonderful stories that illustrate the changes we go through when we travel, and the humor and possibility that exist in every journey.

Synopsis:

An uncensored and hilarious look at travel, food, and family is presented through the eyes of a public radio journalist.
