<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When a frazzled working mom finds herself staggering through a turbulent midlife crisis, she and husband launch their family out of the rat race and into an around-the-world expedition--a remarkable journey that gives them a new understanding of the world and their place in it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Tracey Carisch thought she had it all. As a wife, mother, and successful executive, she seemed to be living the modern American dream. But one night, a panic attack sent her tumbling into an existential crisis and questioning everything about her life. That's when she and her husband made a decision that shocked their family and friends: they sold everything they owned, pulled their three young daughters out of school, and became a family of wandering globetrotters. Loaded with hilarious mishaps as well as deeply meaningful revelations, Excess Baggage chronicles the Carisch family's extraordinary, eighteen-month adventure across six continents. As they navigate the trials and tribulations of international travel, the family encounters unique people and bizarre situations that teach them about the world--and themselves. Carisch's candid and insightful account of her family's journey will have you laughing out loud, shedding a few tears, and bringing the lessons of family travel into your own life . . . without ever having to leave home.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>2019 IBPA Ben Franklin Awards Finalist in Travel</b> "A courageous story of travel, family, and realizing what's important in life." --Vicki Lesage, best-selling author of <i>Confessions of a Paris Party Girl</i> "Reading this story will make you want to discard the literal and figurative clutter in your life in exchange for a more simple and meaningful existence.
