First Sentence: "When my long-dreaded thirtieth birthday arrived, I really wasn't as upset as I imagined I'd be, for I had achieved a much more important milestone: my sartorial centennial."



Last Sentence: "Now I am truly Queen--of the Road--and proud of it."


A fun, marriage affirming story. I love how the author's view of life and what is important changed and became more genuine and simple. This was a great memoir and one that would be a great vacation read.

"Two psychiatrists driving a motor home around America, and you're still wondering whether to buy this book? Step on the gas and go straight to the register." –Jeff Arch, Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, Sleepless In Seattle

“His dream — he’s always wanted to see America in a converted bus — and her nightmare —she has a bus phobia — and their mid-life crisis on wheels, make for a hilarious reading adventure.” –Mary-Lou Weisman, author of Traveling While Married

"Beneath its fun and frothy exterior, you'll find in this wild ride across America's highways and byways a lovely portrait of a marriage that treats its ups and downs with humor and grace." -
