Description: "There are weekend vacations, quick getaways, and overnight jaunts. But in this border-hopping anthology of travel memoir and fiction, every trip is a big one, as an advance guard of adventurous writers - both seasoned names and fresh voices - scatter across the globe, face the pure euphoria and sheer anxiety of travel, and survive a lot of very fast living." "Reviving a time before the travel narrative developed into puny 10-best lists, these writers don't get sidetracked by shopping sprees, restaurant tips, or thread-counts. Told with verve, their odysseys remind us, instead, of the larger lures - the need for love, for adventure, for a new sense of place - that tempt us to leave home in the first place."--BOOK JACKET.
