Publishers Description: Remember those long, languid holidays when the only decisions to be made were what to pack in the Esky and who should get the front seat on the drive to the beachLet William McInnes reignite your nostalgia for holidays past, and give you a taste of the boundless opportunities that await in holidays to come in this book about our love affair with life away from the everyday. This book will take you back to the holidays you had as a kid and remind you of the ones youve had with your own family or friends or even the ones where youve flown solo.Holidays are the runway to possibilities - a romantic sunset, the spare seat at breakfast being taken by an attractive stranger, a miraculous airline upgrade - or missing bags, unfortunate rashes and wrong turns that lead to places you definitely did not intend to go. Whether you are away from home and somewhere exotic or just in your own backyard on a lilo in an above-ground pool, whatever happens, you know that life is sweet because youre on HOLIDAYS. Whatever kind of holiday youve got planned, make sure you pack this warm and funny celebration of Australias favourite national pastime.PRAISE for William McInness previous books: skilfully constructed...insightful, understated and very funny Sydney Morning Herald on THE LAUGHING CLOWNSThe Making of Modern Australia is a ripper THE CANBERRA TIMESWilliam McInnes compels with the sheer delightfulness of his memoir, and with his fine ability to spin a damn funny yarn Sunday Telegraph on A MANS GOT TO HAVE A HOBBYfunny and clever Daily Telegraph on THATD BE RIGHTA big-hearted novel with character Sunday Telegraph on CRICKET KINGS
