Our vacation is still months away but I can tell you I’m already anxious for some travel adventures. New places, new foods, etc. In the meantime I’m going on a little weekend getaway with one of my best friends! No exotic location, just a little Texas town where we can do lots of shopping and laughing.
So there may not be a lot of reading happening this weekend but I do think there’s a bookseller in the town so I’ll definitely drop in and see what they have. I promise to report back.
As far as my need for faraway travel is concerned for now I’m reading and both are set in London. A couple of months ago I added Book Lust To Go by Nancy Pearl to my bookshelves and if you can’t decide on a place, pick up this book and you’ll soon be doing some armchair travel. By the way, I picked up this book thanks to an interview I heard on Travels with Rick Steves.
So what about you, where do you wish you were traveling to this weekend?
My husband and son are going to the panhandle this weekend to fish, so my daughter and I are having a girls weekend…shopping, sushi, a movie maybe. I’m pretty excited. Just crossing my fingers she doesn’t have an emotional outburst, as 15 year olds do. Often.
I should probably get my hands on a copy of Book Lust to Go! I have no desire to go anywhere this weekend. I am going to stay home, read, and spend some time admiring all of the things sprouting in my garden! Enjoy your weekend with your friend!
Lucky you to get away for the weekend. I could use a little mini-beach vacation personally! I have seen some of those Book Lust books, but I don’t think I have checked this one out–must do so!
Sandy – Hope you and your daughter had a great time. No outbursts allowed 🙂 What movie did you guys see?
Stefanie – It is really good. If you can find the podcast of the show she did with Rick I recommend that to. She’s never traveled overseas I believe but loves being an armchair traveler via books. I love to travel but I think it’s wonderful that she’s finding a way to “explore” other cultures and lands!
Danielle – It was fun but certainly not long enough! We do have Memorial day coming up so at least it’ll be nice to get that three day weekend right? Hopefully I’ll catch up on some reading!
