In their new book "Vacation on Usedom? You’ve Got to Be Kidding, Honey!" MARA KANE tells with a lot of humor and self-irony how a compromise vacation on the Baltic Sea transforms two luxury travelers.

From palm trees to dunes: a vacation revolution begins

When Sandra suggests a vacation on the Baltic island of Usedom to her husband Thomas after an opulent cruise and on the advice of her doctor, the passionate luxury vacationer initially reacts with horror. For him, a lover of all-inclusive resorts and infinity pools, the German Baltic coast sounds like a drastic downgrade. "Where the hell is the hinterland?" is just one of the skeptical questions with which the unusual journey begins. However, what starts out as a health-motivated compromise quickly develops into a humorous turning point in their vacation philosophy.

The surprising metamorphosis of a luxury vacationer

In 27 amusing chapters, the authors document Thomas' unexpected transformation - from reluctant companion to passionate Usedom ambassador. With a sharp pen and a loving twinkle in her eye, Sandra describes how her husband suddenly documents sunsets on the backwater with the same enthusiasm as he used to document spa treatments and how he rates a vacation home in the hinterland with the same dedication as he used to rate five-star resorts. His mission culminates in an attempt to convert even her cruise-loving friends.

Practical guide with a wink

"Vacation on Usedom? You’ve Got to Be Kidding, Honey!" is more than just an entertaining story - it's a humorous guide for anyone who wants to escape the luxury vacation hamster wheel. Packed with practical tips, tongue-in-cheek comparisons between the Caribbean and the Baltic Sea and a good dose of self-irony, the book offers a gentle guide to slowing down. Readers learn why sometimes less is more and why paradise is often closer than you think - with a guarantee of vacation longing, spontaneous fits of laughter and the revolutionary realization that you don't need palm trees for real relaxation.
