I guess you could say he pioneered the slightly snarky travel book, but
only because Mark Twain pioneered the *extremely* snarky travel book in
the previous century.

I could have done without the final chapter in which he advises the

A deeply Heinlein attitude, although I agree that some Americans have a
weird tendency to not view it as a "real" vacation unless an ocean was
crossed.
I came to the conclusion that "visiting the relatives" and "real
vacation" were not the same thing (except, of course, in my family) --
but I didn't think you had to cross an ocean to have a real vacation.
I've long used the term 'oblication' to describe the trips you Must Take
even if you'd rather go somewhere new.
I've been to Silicon Valley to visit my mother more times than I can
remember, and my wife and I have pretty well run out of sites to visit.
