Have Books, Will Travel

I am a born traveler. My very first photo, snapped at the hospital shortly after my birth, became my first passport photo. I boarded my first international flight shortly thereafter, and I have been traveling ever since. To date, I have visited 4 continents, 24 countries outside of the USA, and 31 states plus Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. My very patient husband jokes that I always start planning the next trip on the flight home (sometimes I actually start before that!). I think the planning is half the fun. Some of my favorite travel memories include family trips with my daughter and husband to Aspen, our honeymoon in Rome, Christmas with my parents in London, our little family's favorite beach trip to Puerto Rico, and my first solo adventure to Big Sky, Montana.  I am also an avid reader, reading more than 100 books every year and currently working my way through the Boxall 1001 Books to Read Before You Die list. I come by my love of books naturally. I was raised by a librar

I am also an avid reader, reading more than 100 books every year and currently working my way through the Boxall 1001 Books to Read Before You Die list. I come by my love of books naturally. I was raised by a librarian and by an English professor (who was getting her phD in London when I was born, thus the early flight). In high school, instead of a regular allowance, I got paid by the book. Now I’m raising my own little book worm who is one of my favorite travel buddies. 

Some of my favorite books include A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, classic English novels like Pride and Prejudice and Brideshead Revisited, Larry McMurtry's epic masterpiece, Lonesome Dove, gritty mysteries by Dennis Lehane and early Nicci French, and quiet murders in the garden by Agatha Christie, Deborah Crombie, and Louise Penny.

I love to experience new places through books, and I also love enriching my travel experiences by reading books set in the locations I am visiting. I'm excited to share my suggestions!

Hot Fun in the Summertime: Your 2023 Summer Reading List

If your summer vacation plans involve trips with family or a fun girls’ getaway or if you plan on thrill seeking or just sitting on the beach, I have you covered with these 10 book recommendations to pair with your summer plans. If you don’t find something that grabs you, please feel free to drop me a line in the comments and let me know where you are going this summer and two of your favorite recent reads, and I will help you find the perfect read! I’m always happy to make suggestions.  If you are planning a multi-generational family trip this summer, I recommend The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. A lonely widower and a struggling teenage girl who is working at the local public library for the summer come together and forge an unlikely friendship through a shared reading list. The books they read help them form connections both with each other and with others, and the books help them to heal.   If you’ll be taking kids on college visits this summer or traveling with teens who

The Stars at Night Are Big and Bright … Deep in the Heart of Texas

My dad and I did our first solo father, daughter trip this winter. We chose Big Bend National Park and surrounding areas as our destination.         Getting There & Where to Stay… Pop at the Gage Hotel bar with his new friend We flew into Midland International Airport and then drove a little over two-and-a-half hours to Marathon, Texas. Marathon is a dusty little town (population of less than 500) and doesn’t offer much except the lovely Gage Hotel. I suggest the Los Portales section of the hotel with rooms opening out into a little courtyard. The pueblo-style rooms feel like you are in your own private ranch house with rustic wooden doors and shutters, tile floors, small corner fireplaces and Mexican and western-style décor and furnishings. The hotel bar and restaurant were also bustling every night while we were there. I loved coming back and reviewing the day over margaritas in the bar followed by dinner in the restaurant. It’s Texas, so it’s a very beef forward menu. The ch

Walking in Memphis

We touched down in the land of the Delta Blues in the middle of the pouring rain (literally) and had a fun few days in Memphis. This was a little bit of an odd ball choice for spring break, but we had a great time.  What to Do... On our first night we caught a Dallas Mavericks v. Memphis Grizzlies game at the FedEx Forum, which was a really nice, new stadium and is just a short walk from Beale. It’s well-lit in the evening, and there were lots of police on patrol and big crowds, so it felt very safe. BB King's Blues Club on Beale Street We also enjoyed some family friendly spots on Beale, including BB King’s Blues Club for live blues and lunch (the chicken and waffles were solid), the Hard Rock Café for lunch and to check out their memorabilia, and Dyer’s Burgers for a late day snack. The street performances during the day on Beale were also a great diversion. A guy flipped over my daughter’s head, and she is still talking about it. There are also some fun little stores on Beal

The Kids All Say Yeeow-a-yip-i-o-ee-ay for Oklahoma! Oklahoma, Okay

Broken Bow, Oklahoma is a wonderful getaway for families with elementary aged children, and this was one of the easiest vacations we have ever taken. It’s a pretty quick drive from Dallas (just over 3 hours), and almost everything we did once we got there was about a 15-minute drive from our cabin.  Where to Stay…  My afternoon reading spot.  I recommend renting a cabin through VRBO (most come with a hot tub and a fire pit, and some have playsets, outdoor games, or video game consoles). I loved sitting on the back porch of our cabin with a glass of wine and a book in the late afternoons. It was so incredibly peaceful. Note that cabins and activities are mostly located in Hochatown, Oklahoma rather than Broken Bow, so that can be a bit confusing when booking.  What to Do…  There are a wide range of outdoor activities. I recommend the following:  There are lots of hiking trails to explore, so I suggest using the AllTrails app on your phone to find ones appropriate for your family. This a
