India is always on our list and not because it’s Super G’s heritage. I must admit Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Books (Penguin Classics), Gloria Steinem’s trip following graduating from Smith College (which I’m reading about right now, My Life on the Road), and E.M. Forster’s “Passage to India a [Blu-ray]” inspired me to begin dreaming of India.

Vive La France! While there are many places to go in France, our eyes are set on Paris and Burgundy (Bourgogne) and Champagne.
We aren’t going to let the terror attacks during 2015 and the ongoing hunt for suspected terrorists scare us away from the City of Lights … no siree.

Brazil is a spectacular place from its cities too its wilderness. The Amazon River and forest running through it, to surf and sunbathing ready beaches, to bustling cities full of art, culture, music, and food.
