Synopsis

Junkets & Jaunts is not your typical travelogue. It’s an anthology of offbeat travel tales that delightfully mixes in traditional destination tips with colorful characters and creative adventures.“The best regional insights come from bartenders, car-share drivers and casino dealers,” according to author Ron Donoho, who has written travel stories for dozens of national and regional publications and websites.“Hospitality industry workers know where to find the best meals and deals—but if you show genuine interest, they’ll open up to you about their lives,” he says. “And often, their lives will reveal the true nature of a city or region.”The junkets and jaunts presented here are set in Huntington Beach, Carlsbad, Felicity, Scottdale, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, San Diego, Carson, the Wisconsin Dells and Catalina Island.Some stories are fun and breezy. Others offer thoughtful introspection. All are based in the United States—and each is truly an endearing slice of Americana.
