[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone  in a thread about Provence mentioned wanting to see a village because it featured prominently in the book A Year in Provence.  It sounded so lovely.  I’ve sometimes tacked on book-related sites to trips we’ve made for weddings or events. I visited Flannery O’Connor’s home in Savannah and Thomas Merton’s grave in Kentucky, for example. I’ve never planned a trip around a book or author, though.  I’m curious about other non-touristy literary travel.  Any great trip ideas or experiences to share?

Before someone screams questions at me saying they can’t plan my vacation if I don’t provide more details, I’ll be clear that I’m just making conversation with other people who want to share travel experiences.  [/quote]

lol yes there is a poster out there that irritates me too. So condescending. Her quick “what are your interests? Do you like museums or mountains? Time of year? We can’t help you without more information!” or my favorite one of hers is “Have you asked [] what they want to do?”  [/quote]

I especially love when the “Have you asked [] what restaurant she wants to go to” (or what city she wants to visit or cruise line she prefers) is referring to a child.  Like, no I haven’t asked my 5 year old to pick our vacation destination because she’d say Adventure Bay.[/quote]
