Traveling?

I'm an only child. Yep, a lonely only. Because of this, I suppose that maybe I was afforded certain "privileges" that some others with siblings weren't. I was fortunate enough to travel with my parents quite a bit when I was younger. But now that I'm on my own, my parents have taken it upon themselves to travel to all the really cool places, you know, like Playa del Carmen Mexico...

That's right, they are leaving tomorrow for two weeks of sunny bliss, beaches, and margaritas in Mexico...without me!! Yep, that's right...without me. I'll get a nice early morning phone call from the airport tomorrow saying, "Oh hi!! We're just getting ready to get on the plane for our fabulous two week vacation without you...please remember to feed the cats while we're gone." To which I will politely reply, "I hope there's a freakish blizzard when you get back."

In light of my bitterness, I figure that this would be a good time for me to tell you about our travel books and DVD's here at the library. I have recently ordered some Rick Steves' travel DVD's, as well as some Weird USA too. I'm hoping to add more to the collection in the near future, and would love suggestions if you have them! We also have a pretty decent collection of travel books, like Fodor's and Mobil. Again, if you have any suggestions for some we should add, please let us know! And remember, we also have public access to the internet too! You know, should you need to Mapquest some directions or order those really expensive plane tickets to Fiji.

So...if you're cruel, like my parents, and are planning on taking a trip without your wonderful children (like moi)... we, here at the library have lots of tools and tips for helping you to plan your trip!
