I love reading books. Books and vacations just go together for me. Most of the time nowadays I read off my digital device as I can carry a lot of books in a small light device. I do like my kindle (I have the old one) with the white screen to read out on the beach. The sun reflection is a real problem off my phone. I think that it is essential to keep learning. I love books that teach life and business skills. I thought I would share some of them with you. You can get them through these links to Amazon through my affiliate link. I hope you will share with me how these books affect you after you read them. In another post I will list my current favorite list of fiction that I am reading.

1. Notes From A Friend by Anthony Robbins
This book is great for all ages. It has skills that when incorporated in your life increases your likeability and success in all area of your life. It is an easy to read and understand book.

2. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
This little book has so many great life lessons in it. It will teach you at the depth of understanding that you have. Read it again and it teaches you more.

3. The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews

This really made me think about the choices that I make. Sometimes it even scared me.

4. Rhinoceros Success by Scott Alexander

I have Rhino of all sorts all over my house. We were given this book by the first millionaire that we spent time with as a gift. He believed this book held success secrets that could help us. I love the lessons in this book. From this we made the Rhino our family mascot.

5. Single Shard by Linda Sue Park

Easy jr. high level reading book that has powerful life lessons in it. I read this when I was making pottery but found there was so much more to it. All kids – and adults – should read this book.

I read a lot of different types of books but life lesson books are at the top of my list. I like small easy to read books that I can read in a day or two. I don’t have the attention span for thick month long books. I hope you enjoy these books. I would love to hear your experiences with them.

I had a friend stop over to visit and said that she had booked a trip to Italy. When they got there the hotels she stayed in were “scary terrible.”

She said that when they got there it didn’t have a restaurant nor were there any in the area. Not knowing the area they thought they would have to go hungry that night. Luckily there were place that delivered.

She asked me how I find a good hotel. Here are some tips I gave her on finding reviews and being informed before you book a hotel:

Check my website and travel videos to see if I have reviewed the area that you are traveling to. I always try to give reviews that are fair but accurate along with area information that will help you enjoy your vacation but if I haven’t reviewed the hotel then check:

If you ever get caught with a flight delay that causes you to miss a cruise or tour you know you have a problem. If the delay is due to weather or one of the other “outs” for the airline you are stuck with the expense, and I do mean expense when we are talking about buying a flight that day to catch up to your cruise or tour.
