I interviewed many people for my books and I know, without their help, my books would not be as interesting. It turns out I helped another author make his book much more interesting. My story was selected for I Should Have Stayed At Home: Hotels.

My section is entitled Carolyn & Louise. No spoilers here, but I will give you a quick glimpse by reprinting the entry I used in a recent contest describing my worst vacation: 1991, travelling alone, Bora Bora, Club Med, manic-depressive post-op transsexual roommate, cyclone.

Should I have stayed at home? No. Bora Bora was the most beautiful place on earth I have ever been, regardless of the weather and, the trip has provided me with one of the best cocktail hour stories, ever.
