Let's go!

I don’t know if it’s the spring weather, or what, but I’ve got the travel bug. Bad.

 

I interlibrary loaned a travel guide to Japan yesterday. And I got one about Brazil. A girl can dream right?!?

 

  

 

 

Sadly, I have no out-of-country travel plans as of right now. In June I’m taking a few days off to head to Tennessee, but after that it will be Summer Reading 24/7 until August rolls around.

 

So, I figured I would use the blog to throw a few travel questions out there.

 

1. Where has your favorite vacation been?

2. Do you have a favorite Travel Guide series? (Lonely Planet, Frommers, DK, etc.)

3. Have you ever read a book that inspired you to travel somewhere?

 

My answers:

 

1. Costa Rica. I cried when I had to come home.

2.  I LOVE the Let’s Go! Travel Guides. They are for travelers on a budget, and have guided me through Ireland, England, France, and Costa Rica. I really trust their recommendations.

3. Hmmm…I probably could list a ton of books for this one, but Haruki

Murakami is one of my favorite authors, and all of his books take place in Japan, so maybe that’s why I’ve been day dreaming of going there.

 

We have an EXCELLENT travel section in our library, thanks to Carol the international jetsetter, so if you are planning a trip come on by to see what we have to offer!

I so want to travel but we'll probably have to wait a couple more years till the girls are a little older. 1. Taos, New Mexico - I haven't traveled much but this was my fave place that I have been. 2. I haven't looked at any travel guides. 3. Any book that's set in England, especially the English countryside, makes me want to get on a plane and go.

CarolK, my younger daughter traveled to Costa Rica when she was in high school, stayed with a host family, and loved it. She and her husband are taking an "extreme vacation"/belated honeymoon there next month! I'll share her photos with you!
