Narrow Dog to Carcassonne, by Terry Darlington
I love to travel slowly. This book describes the adventures of a family (Terry and Monica Darlington and their dog) as they travel by narrowboat across the Channel and then through the waterways of France. It closes with a stanza from a most beautiful poem: Ithaka by CP Cavafy (tinyurl.com/ithakacavafy). The poem describes how the journey and adventures on the way to Ithaka are more important than any destination. A great motto for anyone who loves travel, and one that inspired my husband and me to choose it as a reading at our wedding.

Not a winning tip, but was published (and deemed phot-worthy!) in the paper today :)
