Reading Lists

Whenever I travel to someplace new, I like to do research on the area before I go. I usually search the internet for a variety of information and it is a great resource. I also like to try and read books about the region as well. On our general information sheets we always have a suggested reading list. You can also Google/web search reading lists for where you are going as well. I try and read one historical book and one fictional book to provide both a factual and personal/creative perspective. For our recent Rafting the Grand Canyon trip, the group actually had emails going around recommending some favorites to read before arriving at the Canyon. I wanted to read the books and I wasn't even going on the trip. Add a dimension to your travels - books. -- Deb
