RV Traveling Tales
Women's Journeys on the Open Road
Edited by Jaimie Hall and Alice Zyetz 

     Summer is coming and some of us-particularly those old enough to remember when wheels were used for long distance travel-are getting a case of wanderlust. RV Traveling Tales will not cure that. In fact, it will exacerbate it. It may also give you some new ideas for satiating the desire. Traveling in retirement, traveling with a husband, and traveling in Europe aren't the only ways to "go."

     This collection of essays, edited by Jaimie Hall and Alice Zyetz, will appeal to anyone who knows-deep down-that women are sisters and should help one another to a more fulfilling life. I liked "City Girl Takes a Hike" by Cathi Tessler. It convinced me that traveling in an RV is not necessarily for someone else, someone less citified, someone less prissy. After all, who wouldn't like the change from "waking up to the incessant ringing of the alarm at 4:45" to "waking up to…birdsong."

     Many of these essays have been printed with permission from publications with exotic names like Steeles on Wheels, Rainbow Chasers, and RVing Alaska and Canada. The foreword is by Steve Zikman, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Traveler's Soul.

    The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Americans will be staying closer to home this year than in the past. That may mean more RV travel. That may mean all those Americans will be reading RV Traveling Tales. Let's hear it for Thelma and Louise!
