Off We Go!

It seems like everyone is going somewhere. Traveling these days could mean many things; going to see family, taking a cruise, heading to warmer climates or checking out new places. For those of you who are experienced travelers, taking off probably is exciting, even exhilarating. For me it has always been more of a struggle. When I finally come to the realization that I have to give in and go somewhere, I have no idea where to go, or rather, where I am willing to go. No place too hot or too cold, too remote or too crowded is on my list.

So I go to the library shelves and pull out a few of those bright orange books in the travel section (914-917 for Dewey Decimal fans). Mr. Fodor, or whoever he or she is, has done an excellent job of preparing a book on every place I might never go to. You can look at Mexico or narrow it down to Cancun, Cozumel,Yucatan Peninsula or check out The National Parks of the West. If you don't want to look at all of Massachusetts, you can find separate books on The Berkshires and Cape Cod. There is not only a California book but also Northern California and Southern California. Each Fodor's is full of interesting information, maps and places of interest. There was even a place that won me over, so don't look for that book in the next couple weeks.

I'm off!
