For most things, a great book. However, for flying at noon or on Saturday - don't even attempt this at a cruise ship port (unless you are a cruise passenger) on a Saturday after 10 a.m. -and Sunday is not good either. In fact, noon flying on any day is not as good as taking a flight out where the plane has stayed overnight for cleaning and maintenance.... AND that crew is probably staying overnight there and will get to the plane on time to go back home.

'Buy Ketchup In May and Fly at Noon' is a fun read packed with information that can settle long-standing arguments on WHEN to water the lawn, when to list your house or buy one, when to book a flight, when to fly to Europe, when to ask for a raise, when to send an email, when to adopt an animal, when to apply to college, when to take a foreign language, and so many other money saving, time saving helpful tips from experts world-wide. Will be in all the holiday stockings this year!

This book is great for more than just lovers of trivia - it is a practical guide to life and full of "who knew" surprises that you can put into practice. The writing makes it entertaining and fun to read, but it's obvious that real research went into it. I like the way it's organized into areas of life. I grew up in California and it's true - Fall is the best time to go to Disneyland!
