Road Trip
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you. We have fond memories of the Rock of Cashel, in Tipperary–the first stop on our road trip through southern and southwestern Ireland.

Destination: Japan Book: Rising Son: A Father and Son’s Bike Adventure Across Japan by Charles R. Scott (New, February 2013) Beware the conclusions you draw when visiting another culture. For one thing, your experience of a place can change drastically depending on your mode of transportation.

Destination: Iran Book: Iranian Rappers and Persian Porn: A Hitchhikers Adventures in the New Iran by Jamie Maslin What we have here is incompatibility between reader and book. Iranian Rappers and Persian Porn clearly aims at an entirely different demographic than this reader. I am definitely not the target audience, which seems to consist of those [...]
Destination: Eastern Tennessee Book: The Good Dream by Donna VanLiere NEW: July, 2012 (I listened to the audio book on a MacMillan Audio book recorded by the author.)
You know how I love road trips–reading about them–riding on them–watching them in movies and TV. So when I heard that Candy Harrington, recognized expert on accessible travel, had published a book about accessible road trips, I asked if she would write an article for A Traveler’s Library. While Candy includes plenty of information for [...]
