Publisher Description:
Did you ever get sent home the wrong way around the world? Stand in the flame trench underneath a NASA launch pad? Have your seatmate on a plane offer you her daughter in marriage? Miss your turn and wind up at the Iraqi border by mistake? Make a pilgrimage to the largest church in the western hemisphere? Have to walk five miles from the airport because mass transit stopped working? Fly to China in First Class on a $0 mistake fare you caught because a restaurant server spilled water all over you? Get stopped by local police for a bogus traffic offense and have to pay cash on the spot? Cause a traffic jam at a Central American toll booth? Fly in the copilot's seat in a small plane over the Amazon rainforest? Make an emergency return home from a solo trip overseas because your phone and your credit cards all failed on the same day? Join intrepid solo traveler, frequent flyer program aficionado, professional church musician, travel guide, and author Matthew Mueller for these and other adventures in Bahrain, Brazil, China, France, Guyana, Hong Kong, Japan, Kuwait, Morocco, Panama, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Vietnam. Experience world-famous landmarks, little-known oddities, serendipitous encounters with colorful characters, big setbacks occasioned by small malfunctions, juicy tidbits of history, plans ruined by hostile forces. Above all, learn about the Catholic tradition of pilgrimage and the fine art of getting home in both its geographical and spiritual dimensions.
