Truth in travel
SUSAN SPANO’S take on the inevitable negatives involved in travel [“Disenchantment Tags Along, Even in Enchanting Lands,” Her World, March 19] was totally refreshing and a joy to read, particularly coming from the pen/keyboard of such a seasoned trekker. Travelers all know bad stuff happens, yet the cover-up is always creative. For example, a friend describes a pocket-picking incident in Paris that turned out to be an “adventure.” Yeah, sure. Sorry I missed the experience.
Spano’s list of advance planning tips is invaluable; more, please.
