WE ARE EXPERIENCING A SLIGHT DELAY (tips, tales, travels)

TV writer/producer Gary Janetti is a fine traveling companion. His vocal style may remind listeners of David Sedaris, but his opinions and wit are his own. He takes the listener on a grand tour of his favorite places and packs this audiobook with observations on such topics as the decline of fashion on airplanes, along with tips on how to shut off unwanted conversation and how to pack for only three days. Want informed and glitzy recommendations for Rome (the Hotel de Russi), or for NYC (eat at Balthazar)? An entertaining storyteller, Janetti pitches an idea to Maggie Smith (a no), falls in love on Mykonos (an everlasting yes), and lovingly recounts a family cruise that includes his then-93-year-old dad, who stays in a cabin beneath the foghorn.
