Holidays in Heck is a 2011 book by P. J. O'Rourke about the author's travels to various venues. Its chapters include "Republicans Evolving: The Galapagos Islands, April 2003", "A Freedom Ride through China: Spring 2006", "White Man Speak with Forked Tongue: The Field Museum, Chicago, May 2008", and "Home Unalone: New Hampshire, March 2011".
O'Rourke uses wit to recount family travel to various tourist destinations. It is loosely modeled after his earlier book Holidays in Hell.
In the introduction, O'Rourke says, "[After my experiences as a war correspondent] I decided to write about pleasant places. ... I'd always been where people were shooting each other ... How, I wondered, does one undertake enjoyably going somewhere enjoyable?"
