That Time in Italy Kevin Zdrill

A dream trip to Italy can only result in the best, most luxurious vacation with no unfortunate mistakes. Or maybe that's too much to hope for... Gus can't wait to get off the cramped flight from Canada to Italy and enjoy the bus tour across Naples, Rome, and other history- and wine-filled locations. Mitch, his eight-month-pregnant girlfriend, is less excited. And Thor? Well, being ten months old, it's not at the top of his to-do list. Still, this is the trip of a lifetime-and it's free! Except that after the somewhat disastrous flight, their decrepit old tour bus takes them four hours away from civilization to... Favola? Who's ever heard of such a town? After the worst night of their lives in a hotel room that's more like a jail cell, Gus and Mitch are taken in by an old-world Italian family whose highly religious matriarch is determined to get them married before they leave. Going home may be an issue, though, when their passports are accidentally thrown away. Now Gus must find a way to get his hands on fake ones before Mitch finds out the truth. Lost shoes, public nudity, and a police raid later, a mysterious stranger may be the answer to their troubles-or their biggest problem yet. That Time in Italy is an entertaining, humorous story of everything going wrong, how not to handle problems, and the growing pains of appreciating a strange new kind of life (even without extra-large coffees).
