Last Year I Went Around the World...This Year I Plan to Go Elsewhere

Summary: A peptalk for those who hesitate to try new try new things.
Review: PBS viewers may recognize Frances Weaver from her "Midlife Musings" segments. A middle-aged widow, she encourages her contemporaries to go out and enjoy the world. This slender volume speaks to those who dream of exploring far-off (and not so far-off) places, but who lack confidence in their skills for coping with life away from home and familiar surroundings. With specific advice (start by exploring your own hometown) Weaver affirms that the real purpose of travel is to expand your horizons. This book would make a pleasant gift for a person newly widowed, divorced, or empty nester. Reader beware! This book motivated me to take a spur of the moment bargain excursion to London.
