Short of cash, forced to take casual work, and having to sort out family crises back home, on the hoofand from a distance nothing dampens their spirits. Grappling with unfamiliar accents and unusual foods, the indomitable ladies find themselves launching into battle with everyone from hotel owners to Transylvanian separatist rebels.
