Also known as "armchair traveling", what are your favorite travel books, the ones that make you want to jump out of your chair and into an airplane because the person's experiences sound so damn exciting?

Mine are:
-"Under the Tuscan Sun" by Francis Mayes
-"Walking My Dog Jane: From Valdez to Prudhoe Bay Along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline" by Ned Rozell
-"In A Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson
-"A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines" by Anthony Bourdain
...plus a few others.

I'm a big fan of the Bill Bryson books myself. Great videos you added to the spot cressida!

Thanks Dave! I see the Australia commercial and a different "Incredible India" one on the TV all the time. I wish more countries made high-quality tourism commercials, even already-popular tourist countries like Italy and England.
