Ten Trips

Ten travel stories I wrote during my very frequent flier years make up this collection. I tell about taking a ship to Antarctica, traveling with an extremely annoying guide in the former Yugoslavia, the beautiful Balearic Islands, New Zealand, a bad experience in Ireland, and a leisurely trip in Chile.
