really liked it

A much better travel memoir than At v Home in the World by Tsh Oxenreider. While Oxenreider's book focuses more on navel-gazing and herself, Cohen's book tale gives a great look at what traveling around the world as a family is like. Oxenreider and Cohen traveled to and wrote about some of the same places, which was interesting to compare.

I also appreciated Cohen's candid answer to how much their trip cost. Spoiler: it was a LOT, especially considering their trip took place in the mid-1990s. Sadly, Cohen and his wife divorced several years after the book was published, and I wish that postscript had been left out.

One bone to pick: there are a lot of typos in the ebook version.
