"Travelers' Tales Love and Romance: True Stories of Passion on the Road" published by Travelers' Tales Guides, 1998 $17.95
Love & Romance is a collection of literary essays -- all true stories -- of love, lust, and romance encountered while traveling. They range from a tender story of how travel kept the spark in a 50-year marriage, to one woman's story of becoming engaged to a Fiji Island tribesman whose language she does not speak. You'll experience the tender connection forged between fellow travelers making their way together, as well as a honeymoon suddenly gone awry, threatening the life of a new marriage. Other stories follow travelers who face a firing squad together, rekindle love in a war-ravaged country, or stumble hilariously into a Japanese love hotel while simply looking for a clean bed for the night. Some stories are touching, others are frightening; all involve love in its many guises waiting to surprise and delight the unsuspecting traveler.
