You know what’s not cool? Watching Barbie movies when it’s 80-degrees and sunny outside. But that’s what I’m doing right now. At least Barbie gets to go places—sure, the places she goes are populated with fairies and evil toads, but at least she isn’t sitting in her family room watching a 4-year-old watch TV.
Good times.
But you know what is cool? Friday. Friday is cool. Because it’s time for Friday Favorites! Yes, I know, you can’t wait to hear what I came up with this week.
Back in the day, I used to be quite the world traveler. One summer my husband and I went overseas for a few weeks to visit his parents, who lived in England at the time. We took a weekend jaunt to Krakow, and it was perhaps the most romantic place I’ve ever seen, before or since. And I was there … with my mother-in-law. This post made me long to revisit the medieval city—sans in-laws. – Amateur Traveler
One of the best things about our visit to Poland was the super-sleek, ultra-modern hotel we stayed in. I know, “sleek” and “Poland” aren’t two words you think would go together. But I’ve stayed in my share of gross hotels, and this rant about bait-and-switch hotel-room photos made me laugh. – Travel Rants
I love getting first-run movies on demand when we stay in hotels—it’s one of the great joys in life. Me? I like thrillers. That’s why I’m so intrigued by the idea of being sent on a mission, without knowing how it will turn out. – Budget Travel
Not everyone can afford hotels and in-room movies these days, so this great post about trips that give back is both timely and altruistic. – Intelligent Travel
That’s a pretty good Friday reading list, if I do say so myself. Got stuff you want to share? Send it to us at editor AT travelmuse DOT com.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go finish watching Barbie defeat an evil warlock.
