If the thought of heightened security measures and full body scans at airports isn’t enough to put you off air travel, how about the news report this week that Spirit airlines is going to start charging for carry-on bags? As if they don’t already charge too much. Will the larger airlines be far behind?
Still intrigued by those exotic locales? Wish there was a way to go without all the hassle and costs? Try armchair travel! Pick up Under the Tuscan Sun to experience life as an American living in Tuscany. Or how about spending A Year in Provence? For those that prefer colder climates, try The Last Imaginary Place for a look at the Arctic or The Raven’s Gift for a journey through the Siberian wilderness. Is a nautical voyage more your style? Look into The Mystery of the Nile or get introduced to The River at the Center of the World – the Yangtze.
Want to stay a big closer to home? Come along for Horatio’s Drive – the first cross-country automobile trip in the U.S., written by New Hampshire’s own Dayton Duncan. Or better yet, watch the 6-part PBS series he and Ken Burns produced on The National Parks. How about taking a ride down the Connecticut River with Two Coots in a Canoe or discovering Boston’s Secret Spaces?
As the warm weather approaches and you’re looking for inexpensive travel destinations, don’t forget the joy of armchair travel. See the world from the comfort of your own home! Bon voyage!
