Book
Avoiding Prison and Other Noble Vacation Goals
by Wendy Dale
From salsa dancing in a rum-induced haze and struggling to exercise in Colombia (âthe guerillas were using the track again todayâ), to crossing international borders unconventionally and dodging bombs in Lebanon (âthe good news was that they were âsmall bombsââ), Wendy somehow manages to find herself in the midst of hysterical, adventurous, and often illegal situations. Case in pointâevery time she heads to Costa Rica, she is forced to visit another prison. Although a jail may not be everyoneâs idea of a place to ?nd 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 vacationâmuch like that elusive thing, happinessâcan be found in some of the most unlikely places imaginable.
