Comments (1)Very entertaining! Thanks for the link!...See MoreUPDATE: Sisterhood of the Traveling Bubble Mailers! Round #1
Comments (149)Whoooeeeeeee this Robin is in the home stretch. It seems SO long ago that it was here in Fairbanks Alaska. I love the idea that someone is typing up the journal so we can each read what all the others wrote. I'd also love to be at Shannon's house when that Little Bird comes home. What a party that would be. I'm looking foreward to reading about what the Robin brings home from his trip. Amy bless your heart for all the patient waiting you have done. I know you must be excited to finally have the robin visit you. How nice, and appropriate that Shirley sent you some real special goodies. You deserve an extra star for waiting so long....See MoreTravel Q: Savannah vs Charleston
Comments (39)I live in the SE, and have been to all the places you listed! The Two Meeting Street Inn is my favorite place to stay in Charleston, as it is right on the Battery there in the residential district. I am a runner, so those early morning jogs down those exquisite residential streets were heavenly to me.There are too many amazing restaurants to list...see if your concierge is a true local and find out where THEY eat! :) If you don't mind a little drive, it is easy to get from NOLA to Natchez...and there is a scenic Hwy. I LOVE Natchez...we stayed in this amazing place called Monmouth Plantation...oh, it was lovely and such a complete Southern experience. We stayed at the Windsor Court hotel in NOLA, which is in the Buiness District, but just a short walk to the French Quarter. It was the best of both worlds to me, you could enjoy the craziness of Bourbon St, but then walk back to a wonderful, quiet hotel! And so close to the Cafe du Monde for your breakfast beignets! I am jealous of your trip! You will have an amazing time in these places! Oh, and the Biltmore Inn makes you feel like you are truly a guest of the Vanderbilts...Inn guests get lots of special perks while on the property. We just went in June for our anniversary. :)...See MoreThe Travelling Library, or How to Manage a Vacation
Comments (15)Like many of you, I take old paperbacks and leave them behind. We are leaving for Cape May in a week or so and I will have my bag of paperbacks at the ready. Usually, I find one or two mysteries I HAVE to read at a rental cottage. I feel no qualms taking one or two home with me if I have the same amount to take their places. If traveling by plane, boat, or train, my system is thus: Pack three in the carry-on, pack ten in the suitcase. What's a few more pounds in the suitcase now that everything has wheels on it, right? And whilst on vacation, I usually look like quite the bum. I take old clothes and toss them out, diddo the old socks. Wear and toss. By doing this, I always have room for the books I buy while I am on vacation. And when I really find a lot of books I want, I just stop at the post office and ship them home. I've done this a couple of times from both England and Australia. But this only works if you are not on a guided tour. Netla, I feel for you about your Iceland trip. What a wonderful adventure! My own two cents is a book per day to start and then try to figure out the average number of hours you'll be sightseeing per day and then adjust your number of books. If you are anything like me, you'll come up with a reasonable number, then toss in three or four more at the last minute "just in case". HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME! PAM...See MoreKath
