Greetings,

As the busyness of the holiday season seeps in around you, I hope you'll find a moment or two to put your feet up with a soothing cup of tea or hot chocolate or pamper yourself in some other way.

If you are still wondering about gifts, books are always a good idea. As Leonore Hershey, a former editor of McCall's magazine and the Ladies'Home Journal once said, "Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal."

Have a good week, and wherever your travels take you, may they be fun, rewarding and safe.

Here's the latest article from the West Coast Travel site at BellaOnline.com.
