Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From salsa dancing in a rum-induced haze and struggling to exercise in Colombia (“the guerillas were using the track again today”), to crossing international borders unconventionally and dodging bombs in Lebanon (“the good news was that they were ‘small bombs’”), Wendy somehow manages to find herself in the midst of hysterical, adventurous, and often illegal situations. Case in point—every time she heads to Costa Rica, she is forced to visit another prison. Although a jail may not be everyone’s idea of a place to land a date, Wendy soon falls in love with a man, a country, and its people and risks everything she has to clear his name. Avoiding Prison and Other Noble Vacation Goals is a bumpy and hilarious ride in which Wendy discovers that a successful vacation—much like that elusive thing, happiness—can be found in some of the most unlikely places imaginable. Review:"What do you get when you mix David Sedaris, Lucille Ball, and a fifth of tequila in a blender? You get Wendy Dale, who is quite possibly the funniest travel writer since Homer. But strain off the foamy giggles, and what you're left with is this: a raw, smart, and passionate woman, in search of herself and awestruck at the beauty of even the ugliest corners of the earth."
