Where Did You Go for Your Summer Vacation?

Brantome, France, a city where you can kayak around a circle past an ancient abbey and enjoy. photo by Max Hartshorne.

We know that sometimes, reading great travel writing is as much about fantasy as it is reality. Taking a trip to a domestic destination, such as a bike trip through Simsbury CT, might indeed be possible for anyone. How about a visit to Princeton NJ? But a trip to Hanoi might never happen for most....still it's fun to read about travel both far away and closer to home.

Wherever your summer holiday ended up taking you this year, we once again offer up both the practical and the fantasy...articles that provide you with the links and information you need to go just about anywhere. And a little fun with great photos to show you places you may never go.

We also introduce our third GoNOMAD Plane Reader, this one compiles 30 articles about Cuba into one portable book, for your Kindle, Nook, iPhone or iPad. A great way to get ready to visit this up and coming place.

All in all, it's just another month of great travel writing on GoNOMAD!
