Pamela Foster

about this book: Travel memoirs are a dime a dozen, but rarely does a writer of this caliber take you on a ride as wild as Clueless Gringos in Paradise. And never before has a writer taken you inside the life of living with and loving a man with combat post-traumatic stress and made you laugh until your stomach hurts.

In an attempt to fight depression caused by combat post-traumatic stress, the author and her husband immigrate from the Arizona desert to the tropics of Panama. They make this trip with two 150 pound service dogs who travel with them everywhere they go. Planes, taxis, canoes, high-rise hotels, cat-infested restaurants. This book is a laugh out loud look at what happens when the need for adventure overpowers caution. Read it while swinging in your jungle hammock, or read it stretched out in your comfortable recliner,but do not read it unless you're ready to laugh out loud.

"Pamela Foster takes the excitement of adventure, sheer terror of the unknown, and adrenaline rush of living each moment on the edge of your wits and transforms them into an hilarious but heartwarming life with her Vietnam "hero".
