The Perfect Journey by David Dale (Paperback, 2001)

Why do we travel? And who are the worst people to travel with? This is a travel book about the right and wrong ways to get to places. A horror story in some ways, it includes tales of going solo, tales of journeys with lovers, journeys with parents, journeys with children and journeys alone.

This witty and informative book investigates why humans feel the need to travel and what they gain from it. Dale draws on twenty-five years of journeying to explain:

- The special flavour of Lesbian wines
- How to get a mummified Ibis through customs
- Why Moses needed to take his own toilet paper up Mount Sinai
- The etiquette of kissing someone who has been dead for two years
- Why there's no place like Somewhere Else
