Thank you for reading and mentioning my new book. I hope you liked it.
Hi Gary, thanks for visiting my Blog. I certainly did enjoy your book…read it in one sitting while having a couple cold cervezas! We share a similiar outlook on life and sense of humor. Sometimes others don’t get it! Will need to pick up another book of yours. What’s your recommendation?

Hm. Well, as long as you’re equally twisted, try THE MISSIONARY’S POSITION. You can get it on Amazon. Here’s a coincidence: I usually WRITE my books in one sitting while having a couple of beers.
Thanks again. I won’t forget your kindness. If I can do anything for you, I’ll try.
Gary, will pick up a copy! I’ll put up a link to you…do you have a blog or a website you’d prefer I point folks to?
Thanks again. My Web site is http://www.arottenperson.com. I’ll link your site in there. Give me a few days. Best, Gary. P.S. Stay safe.
Thanks Gary!
For the rest of you, please pick up his book if you are looking for a hilariously, off-center outlook on travel.
“If you threw P.J. O’Rourke and Paul Theroux in a blender with some cheap rum and prune juice, you might get a cocktail as hilariously astringent as Gary Buslik’s politically incorrect travelogue.”
