These were the most FLATULENT notes I've ever read...all wind. I'm trying to use the word of the day in a sentence every day...I hope it won't be a FLATULENT exercise.
Dream vacation would be where I always take my dream vacation BRITAIN...but this time I would try to get out of London a bit more (if one could pry me away from the theatre) and see more of the whole British Isles. Some castles, monuments like Stonehenge, the White Cliffs of Dover, Hay-on-Wye-- the book city (in fact, I could probably spend a whole vacation right there).
I would also like to take one of those riverboat cruises up the Mississippi and Ohio, preferably the fall one to see all the colours change...though spring or summer would be nice too...Just to sit on deck with a good book and relax and watch the world roll by.
In fact, as I get older, the more I like to do almost nothing on my vacations. A couple of weeks just lounging at the San Ysidro Ranch (which has one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at) sounds ideal.
Another vacation I'd like to do is travel cross-country with my friend Roger in my Dodge Caravan and just stop at as many used bookstores in all the cities and backwater towns we could, filling up the van with book purchases.
