Coach Class to the Americas

Spanning the late 1980s to 2000, Coach Class to the Americas reveals aspects of life and times in the Americas that will probably not appear in history books-in short stories that take the reader from the lighter side of elections in Washington DC to fashions in Waikiki, from the guilt of sun seekers in Canada to the violence of fishers in the Galapagos Islands, from the grilles of US automobiles to the restrooms of Detroit airport, from altitude sickness in Quito to shrimp trapping in the Georgia Strait, to the big San Francisco quake of '89, to poverty and homelessness both east and west, and the strange peril of Nanaimo.






Coach Class to the Americas follows the vapor trails of Sometimes in Business Class, which tickles the underbelly of Europe, and Mostly in Economy Class, which runs riot across Asia.
