"Diabetic Travel Tales and Tips," is a thin little volume that could almost pass as a collection of blog entries. The author, Marilyn Garcia is a Stanford and Yale grad who has had Type 1 for over 40 years. She has also traveled all over the world.
Marilyn
sketches out 17 different diabetic travel adventures in about 3-5 pages
each -- everything from "the cat ate my pump" to chasing your
ricocheting syringe around the airplane restroom during turbulence.
Although some of the stories are a little light on the diabetes
lessons, I still think this one would make a charming gift for that
special diabetic in your life who likes to travel -- or who perhaps
hasn't yet dared to do so -- because it's funny, very down-to-earth,
and offers some good lists and tips with real-world solutions to travel
dilemmas. It will definitely build your confidence that you, too, can
go anywhere and do just about anything with your diabetes in tow.
The author tells me this one will first be available in September,
and will sell for $16.95 including S&H. You can submit your name
to reserve a copy by clicking contact on Marilyn's Web page.
[Available at
Amazon
for $13.95 as of 01Aug2005.]
