If hindsight is indeed 20/20, then it's a good thing none of the women in this hilarious collection had the foresight to make good decisions at the time. If they had, we wouldn't hear about Marrit Ingman's disastrous honeymoon in Maui-and the repercussions of societal pressure for the perfect love escape in paradise. Nor of Sunset editor Allison Aves's eco-escapades in Costa Rica, where she meddles in the love unions of nesting turtles, catching eggs as they exit surprised terrapins and relocating them to new holes. Nor would we know of Philadelphia Magazine's Amy Donahue, whose ascetic retreat to a Berkshires spa sends her scrambling for black-market sources for sugar and fat. Wry, amusing, and all too familiar, these writers capture the essence of the female experience on the road.
