What if Erma Bombeck and James Michener took off in an RV together to see America, wandering from place to place with no particular destination or schedule? “ Boldly Going Somewhere ” is a lighthearted account of our two years and 100,000 miles living on the road, experiencing our big, wild country and its quirky denizens. Written in a feisty back-and-forth style and filled with love and laughter, it gives the reader a close look at the things that make America a fascinating place to explore, while providing insight into the not-so-glamorous moments that make living in an RV an adventure for any relationship.
