The Joys of Travel: And Stories That Illuminate Them | Thomas Swick

1. Friend giving us condo in Florida for three weeks in April.
2. The kiddos and I are planning a trip to Charleston over Mothers Day, possibly just to get this piece of 12-layer coconut cake.
3. Do not miss Adolescence on Netflix.
4. Sing Sing on Max is also terrific.
5. Grandson on spring break, went out to lunch twice, once to favorite Asian, once to favorite pizza.

1. Borough Market in London, jam packed with retail food stalls and people.
2. Great seats at the Bears game.
3. Amazing food at the game, including this chocolate dessert to die for.
4. Flying Tiger stores out of Denmark are all over Europe. Lots of inexpensive fun stuff.
5. Art at the Tate Modern. This was a collection of old radios and boomboxes.

āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸. I really enjoyed this book. The first half provided affirmation for me and my opinions about traveling. The second half included a few wonderful stories about specific places the authored has traveled. I look forward to reading more books by travel writers that were mentioned in this book!

I am determined to finish this book today before I head to the gym for the first time in months and before I complete some DIY household improvements. My priorities are in tact!!!

Travel is the best education. Too bad I didn‘t learn this 20 years ago! So many cities to explore and not nearly enough money to do it! 2018 Travel plans: Mexico City, Milan and Lake Maggiore, Italy and Montreal and Quebec, Canada and any other trip that I can afford. So much to learn!!! So much to read!!!

So many of his comments about travel are exactly what I have experienced. I am so happy I found this gem of a book to provide me affirmation with regard to my obsession with travel. Maybe I need to read a book about how to fund this obsession š€š€š€.
