Does the idea of exploring foreign cities on your own without a tour guide make you anxious? Do you worry about how you would manage a medical emergency on the other side of the world? Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to travel around the world on a cruise ship?

 

This book recounts the tales of the many adventures that Kathy and Ed Fronheiser have shared through more than 30 years together. It’s not a travel guide and it certainly does not include all the places they’ve visited. Instead, it shares stories of their unintended, “accidental” adventures that range from interesting and amusing conversations to lengthy hospital stays in foreign countries. Some are just short anecdotes while others are detailed accounts. All the stories in this book are true. Many are funny, some are poignant, and a few are frightening. Reading Accidental Adventures will show you that kind people and fascinating experiences await you everywhere, from your own neighborhood to the other side of the world. Don’t be afraid to explore them.

 

Get ready to pack your suitcase and set out on your own adventure!

Excerpt from Accidental Adventures

SPEAKING ENGLISH IN AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND

 

One wouldn’t think that communication would be a challenge in a modern English-speaking country like New Zealand, but it was.

 

The aquarium in Auckland was highly recommended so we took a taxi to the other side of the bay to see it. The young woman behind the ticket counter asked me a short question that I couldn’t understand. After asking her to repeat it, I thought the question had a word in it that started with M. I thought maybe she was asking if I wanted a map, which is typical in places like this so I said yes, I’d like a map. She repeated her question. I finally figured out she was saying, “Are you a Mum?” It was “Mum’s Day” in New Zealand. I said yes and got in free.
