NPR ROAD TRIPS: FAMILY VACATIONS

FAMILY VACATIONS is a collection of stories from NPR’s “All Things Considered” and “Morning Edition” that will remind you that life is what you make it—especially when you go on a family vacation. A variety of voices takes you on a cruise ("we're all in the same boat"), down a river in inner tubes, on virtual trips using Google maps (not going anywhere at all), and on a yearlong worldwide camping trip in 1968 through South East Asia, Afghanistan, Kenya, and Europe. This wonderful and frequently laugh-out-loud-funny production will soon have you planning your next vacation, even if it's just to the Ponderosa—for which your mom has a coupon.
