Summary
In “The Accidental Tourist” the writer narrates the incidences where he acts strangely. On various air trips, he spills drinks on co - passengers. Its as if his arms work on their own, move towards the tray and knock - off the glass without his directions. He would be unable to get the air miles because either he could not present his card or the clerk refused to give him the points. Once while opening his bag to get the card, he threw all the articles on the floor. Things flew here and there and there was complete chaos. Also, on another trip, the ink from his pen smeared his mouth, teeth, gums and chin. His face turned blue and would remain like that for a couple of days. Once he bend forward to tie his shoelace when the front seat went into a recline position and his head got stuck there. Whenever he ate a meal, the dining table was a complete mess and it appeared as if an earthquake had struck the place. His family was accustomed to it and when they got their meal, they would get alert to prevent being victims of the spillovers. While travelling alone, he would not eat, drink or bend forward. He would even keep his hands under him to avoid mishaps. He never managed to get the airmiles and would not travel free of cost to Bali but that was good in a way. He could not remain without food on such a long flight.

Answer: The Accidental Tourist
The author was fully confused and treated very casually with everything. And he was impatient also. The author described that once he had looked a number of times for the lavatory in a cinema and found himself standing wrong side of the self-locking door. Another casualty was that he went to hotel desks or receptionist two or three time a day to ask his room number. He described another incident that his card of joining the British Airline was in his carry-on bag and the zip of the bag was jammed and when the author yanked the zip give away and broke. And then all the things fell down and spread over a big area. Then after sometimes he gashed his own finger on the zip and was shedding blood in a lavish manner. After all this the author was afraid of travelling. The author was also describing that once on an aeroplane, he leaned over to tie a shoelace just at that moment someone pushed him from back and he fell down. On another occasion he accidentally spread the soft drink onto the lap of the lady sitting beside him twice. The author explained his worst experience. His worst experience was that he was writing important thoughts in a notebook, he sucked the end of the pen and found his teeth, mouth, chin, gums and tongue became scrub resistant navy blue and remain so for several days. He also described about his casual approach that whenever he got in the car, he left 14 inches of his coat outside. And whenever he wore light colored trousers he discovered at the end of the day that various times he sat on chewing gum, ice cream, cough syrup and motor oil throughout the day.
After that, the author nor eat or drink anything or lean over to tie his shoelaces, during travelling neither put a pen anywhere near mouth and just sit very quietly and did not causes any liquid mischief. It only leaded to cut down the laundry bills.
The author also explained that he did not get his frequent flyer miles as he couldn’t get his card in time. He only accumulated about 23 in 212 air miles. And when he decided to go to get a zillion air miles in January on a flight to Australia, he felt to travel as his name was wrong. And the author did not get his air miles and won’t fly to Bali first class.
