I can think of 2 off the top of my head (I mean, every Nicholas Sparks book is set here), but I wonder what else there is that I don't know?<BR/><BR/>And I am so glad you included the Breakfast at Tiffany's stop! That is a must in my book!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-11814628166882124942009-04-05T19:35:00.000-04:002009-04-05T19:35:00.000-04:00Thanks Gary.

I would either want to do a strictly reference point book, meant for travel purposes. Or I would like to do some kind of Gonzo journalism throwback and combine some fact with fiction. I think once I have a good build up of places that we really are going to do the road trip then I will make some decisions from there.Sara Cauvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910129625521854605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-48508794720814779752009-04-05T16:01:00.000-04:002009-04-05T16:01:00.000-04:00Nice idea.

Combine it with a sort of road saga stroke journey of discovery, Blue Highways style, with lots of b/w photos, then hand them into a publisher and youve got a hot property on your hands!Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587394831096862515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-16265207815049264292009-04-04T04:41:00.000-04:002009-04-04T04:41:00.000-04:00Oh man!

I threw his name in at the top though, wanted to make sure I got it in there. <BR/><BR/>Chic- Hahaha awww thanks seriously. We are glad you approve. We have talked about doing a literary tour for quite a bit now and finally decided to just start picking some actual spots. But thanks so much for the compliment. I actually used to live in NY and have been to over half the places on that map, just for their literary standing alone. It is just crazy to me to think that I am standing in a place that inspired a work of pure genius. It's hard not to try imagine you feel what they feel, and be inspired yourself.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully it will come in handy someday for any one traveling that has some spare time on their hands to check these spots out.The Great Catsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436410858315526506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-52080760219676494552009-04-02T23:00:00.000-04:002009-04-02T23:00:00.000-04:00I love this idea!

It's right near Times Square, so if you guys ever do come this way be sure to stop and see a show there. They're the American equivilant to Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London and they put on some fantastic productions of not only Shakespeares work, but Chekhov and Ibsen also.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634899199891640627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-67308857903533060162009-04-02T11:55:00.000-04:002009-04-02T11:55:00.000-04:00Too true about Henry Miller!

I'm going on a tour of the country this summer, so I can understand your idea of connecting books and travelling..<BR/><BR/>then, when I think New York, I can hardly not think of the rosy crucifixion..
