Personally.. I would like to go to Ireland. Take my husband and our two kids. I’d like to be able to try and trace my ancestry, teach the kids a new culture, Irish lore, history, tradition, etc.. It’s one thing to see the pictures of rolling hills and bluffs, it’s entirely another to be able to traipse across the countryside and be able to take it all in.. Go to the festivals, try local cuisines, visit monasteries, maybe try to learn some Gaelic. What would be really nice is if we could meet a previously unknown relative (third cousin twice removed? haha) or even a penpal or 10, whether for the kids or us adults. I would definately prefer to try and do everything locally, not just stay in one bit hotel in say, Dublin. Ahh dreams.. Hopefully I can make it reality in a few years =) Great idea for the contest though, given the nature of the book!

Hmmm . . . a journey. I loved to take a year or so and read and travel to the places I read about. I’d visit authors’ homes and graves and places described in the books like Cannery Row and Brighton. ) (I’m going to attempt a mini-journey like this. I’m taking a trip to Europe next month and I’m selecting books to take along based on the places we’ll visit.)

Please enter me in your contest. I have blogged about your contest on Random Wonder here

My best friend and I have always longed to get in the car and just drive. We would stop at every little roadside stand and turn off the beaten path for things like “World’s largest ball of string” and “See the amazing monkey-pig” (you get the idea). We would sleep in little out of the way places and only eat at Mom & Pop joints. We would talk to the locals, take lots of pictures and see where we end. As you can see … we’ve thought about this quite a bit

I’d love to just wander around the US looking at interesting stuff. Not having a destination sounds great!

I’ve always dreamed of meandering around the U.S. in a small motorhome or converted van. Doubt it’s going to happen for me, but it would be interesting to read about someone else doing it.

BTW, I like your blog. It’s given me some ideas for mine.
