The only thing that can get me through periods of inertia when I can't travel is a good book. Twenty years ago, I picked up a copy of Paul Theroux's "The Great Railway Bazaar" and have been a restless wanderer ever since. Over the years, great books have inspired cheap hotels florida me to travel but have also filled in my gaps in knowledge about places I'm probably not brave enough to visit, like Congo or Afghanistan.
For $20 or less, I can sit back and enjoy reading about someone else's discomfort, and hopefully learn a thing or two in the process. What follows is a highly subjective list of my 25 favorite contemporary travel narratives. Feel free to pick a fight with me in the comments section. Paul Theroux
The Great Railway Bazaar- This classic '70s account of Theroux's epic train journey across Europe and Asia was Theroux's first travel narrative and it's still one of his best works. But he paid a price: when he returned home from the trip, his wife had taken up with another cheap hotels florida man.
The Old Patagonian Express - In this vividly reported, often humorous book, Theroux rides the rails from Boston cheap hotels florida to Patagonia, save for a flight across the Darien Gap. Last year, Rachel Pook, a Theroux fan, blogged about her in the journey retracing Theroux's trip.
The Happy Isles of Oceania - In the wake of a divorce and a health scare, cheap hotels florida Theroux traveled via collapsible kayak to 51 islands in the South Pacific. As always, Theroux tells the story of his own voyage intermingled with tidbits on the local culture and vignettes about notable South Pacific expats, like Paul Gauguin.
Facing the Congo - What sane person takes a wooden pirogue and a series of barges up the Congo River? Tayler does and lives to tell about it. To his credit, Tayler took this trip and the Siberian Dawn adventure out of desperation, with no book deal in hand.
Murderers in Mausoleums: Riding the Back Roads of Empire Between Moscow and Beijing - In this perceptive, funny book, Tayler travels through obscure corners of Russia and China, shedding light on places few Western writers bother to visit.
cheap hotels florida Playing the Moldovans at Tennis , Round Ireland with a Fridge, and One Hit Wonderland - Tony Hawks- All three of these books describe journeys taken to fulfill gimmicky bets: could Hawks track down and beat all the Moldovan national soccer players at tennis, could he hitchhike around Ireland with a small fridge, and could he write a song that charts somewhere in the world. They're all completely contrived, but great fun nonetheless.
Four Corners- Kira Salak- A page-turner about a bold trip in the footsteps of British cheap hotels florida explorer Ivan Champion through Papau New Guinea. An impressive journey for anyone to undertake, but particularly gutsy for a single female traveler.
A Way to See the World - Tom Swick - A terrific collection of travel stories from Tom Swick, a great writer who can capture the essence cheap hotels florida of a place in a few pages while making just about any place seem interesting.
River Town - Peter Hessler- Hessler's outstanding, often hilarious account of life as a volunteer (Peace Corps) English teacher in a provincial Chinese city reveals a lot about China and Chinese culture.
Hokkaido Highway Blues - Will Ferguson- Ferguson has a great sense of humor and this account of his hitchhiking adventure across the length of Japan along the trail of the blooming Cherry Blossoms is one of my all-time favorite travel books.
Travels In Siberia - Ian Frazier- You might not want to visit Siberia after reading cheap hotels florida this book, which is about a series of trips Frazier took spanning over a decade, but you won't want this book to end.
The Lady and the Monk: Four Seasons in Kyoto - Pico Iyer- Iyer quit his job with Time magazine in New York and went to live in a monastery in Japan. He only lasted a week, but his observations about Kyoto and Japanese culture are fascinating.
I have stayed several times at the Embassy Suites and the complimentary cheap hotels florida breakfast is good. Made- to- order omelttes, fresh waffles, fresh fruit and an assortment of other breakfast items. I look forward to it every time I go there. Reply Terry Aug 18th 2012 1:16PM
I read your hotel breakfast piece, I totally agree. My sister and I own a small boutique hotel in Granada, Nicaragua. We always get complimented on our made to order breakfasts. I travel a lot too and the breakfasts I have been offered cheap hotels florida has been horrible. Come to Nicaragua, Granada is the oldest city in the Americas with lots to do, great food and we welcome children.
