Apparently my book has it pretty darn good–so good that it has travelled further than I have ever dreamed of going. (Nope I don’t mean the moon!) To tell the truth it wouldn’t have to go far to out do me. Totally pathetic, yet totally true. Recently, my book went on a cruise with my sister—the lucky duck. Here are some of the great photos she sent me to rub my nose in it for my viewing pleasure. I love it!
Looking lonely at the Boston Airport--Yup that's my baby sister
St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands
San Juan, Puerto Rico
In Grand Turk--I can't believe it took her that long to read my book!
Thanks, Kelly! I’m glad my book was such a good sport. Next time you go, instead of taking my book, could you maybe take me? 😉

/ April 1, 2011As a book dealer, I would have to recommend that you don’t put sunscreen on the book…that would tend to reduce its value, not to mention sticking the pages together! LOL!
Fun idea, Laura!

Yeah, kid sisters are the best. They’re usually up for that sort of stuff. 😉 As they get older they’re harder to trick into doing things but she enjoyed this so whose to say where my book will end up.
