All in all, it handles very well, takes fabulous pictures, . . . → Read More: Canon Rebel E05, T1: Review This are just some of the books that I read (pretty much cover to cover) in the six months leading up to my trip. There is no such thing as “too much knowledge”, as long as you recognize that traveling (“the real thin”) will always be a richer, more exciting, and more dynamic experience than . . . → Read More: And you think traveling is easy? “For all the women who sit at home or behind their desks bitching that they never get to go anywhere.” Such was my first impression of “Sand in my bra and other misadventures” (edited by Jennifer L.
