I know I’m missing a lot of articles about the travel process, but those links happen to be a few of my favorite travel bookmarks. The year before Noodle was born I took a course on travel writing and getting others to pay for you to travel and then write about it. Heavenly. I’ll use my knowledge in 18 years or so when the kids go off to college. By then who knows what mode of communication we’ll be using– just think, 18 years ago blogs were non-existent!
Now that we’ve read up on vacationing, where should we go next? Where would you go if you could travel ANYWHERE? While I’m on the subject, if you could buy a dream vacation home anywhere in the world, where would it be?
It's only fair to share...
