Summary:
What is your idea of the trip of a lifetime? Is it flying off to parts unknown? Traveling through parts of Europe? Lounging on a sandy Caribbean beach? Or do you prefer to stay closer to home and travel through your imagination? Sometimes the trip of a lifetime can be the one you never expected to take. And sometimes a trip becomes quite memorable for the wrong reasons.
In this collection of short stories, poetry, and non-fiction, you will find our contributors’ ideas of the “trip of a lifetime.” Perhaps you’ll find your own ideas in these pages, or perhaps we’ll spark the desire for you to go out and make your own memories!

My Thoughts:
There were several short stories and poems in this book that I really enjoyed. There were others that made me think "what the hell?!?!" One of the stories about dismembered heads I found to be really disturbing. This is the first anthology that I have ever read and I enjoyed reading it because I don't read many short stories or poems these days. It was a light, short, and easy read, but not my favorite. I do think that it could have been much better though. Not many of the stories in this anthology would be my idea of a "trip of a lifetime". I would love to be somewhere warm, tropical, and relaxing preferably next to the ocean.

DeleteMy idea of a trip of a lifetime would involve a climb up a very high mountain...
