Bought a book

Hello my friends! This morning I took T out for a walk, then had some breakfast while reading in a book to pass time. Closer to 10am when everything in this city opens, I walked over to the Stamford mall to buy a book at Barnes & Noble. On my way home I bought coffee and actually got it half off because the internet didn’t work for the card to go through and I only had a dollar in my wallet, so that was nice. They are always so nice to me there. Of course I will go back another day and pay an extra dollar for my next coffee. 

So what book did I buy? Well, a Kauai travel guide! We booked our flights a few weeks ago and this week we are looking for a place to stay. Doesn’t really matter where we stay, we can rent a tent or sleep in a car for all I care. I’m not going to Hawaii to spend time in a room anyway. This is another huge dream of mine that will come true. SO EXCITED! I’ve been dreaming and fantasizing about this trip since I was 14 years old. Ya, 14, not kidding. Our trip is in January so I have a lot of time to build up excitement around this. But honestly, to be any more excited than I am right now, might cause me to explode:) 

Some might think it’s stupid to buy a travel guide. We have the internet. But, another dream that I had as a kid was that when I’m an old lady I want to have a whole bookshelf with travel books of places I’ve been to throughout my life. We never really traveled when I grew up so when I visited someones house and they happened to have a lot of travel books, I kept dreaming that I would have that too one day. I don’t buy books for all my trips though:( I only have Portugal, our Italian honeymoon spot and three New York City books (no idea why I have 3..). For our Hawaii trip, I felt like I really wanted one. It’s something special with having a guide book when you go on vacation:)

Do you own any travel guide books?
