First of all, the title of
this book alone is hilarious. Queen of the Road chronicles Doreen
Orion’s 12-month, 47 state odyssey with her husband Tim, as they along with their 60 pound dog,
and two cats pack in with all of the modern conveniences that one can get into
a 340 square foot converted bus. During
their odyssey, they experience an armed robbery in
“That first date lasted eight
hours. We’ve been together ever since, progressing through the all-important
M’s- Monogamy, Moving in, Mortgage, and Matrimony. And then, unfortunately, Motor Home.”
In addition to its humor,
there is much to like about Queen of the
Road. A big one is the overall
sentiment of the book - To do things like this while you are young enough to
enjoy them. The book also shows why
travel and altering one's routine are so important and how life changing they
can be. They both learned important
lessons and grew closer as a couple.
After reading her book, she has even convinced me to one day do the same
but maybe on a smaller scale. You will want to buy your own bus too after
reading this fun book.
