Customer Reviews

Take it for what it is.

I can see why some readers may not find this book to their liking; my wife read it after me and would puff her cheeks every few pages at something 'Barb' had written. I loved it, though.Barb ventures from her New Mexico home up to the Maritimes on the Eastern Canadian coast and back in one 4 month stint staying, more or less exclusively at campgrounds around the country. The book is in large part, a recounting of her trip in diary form, from the people she met and the places she visited to the antics of her loveable dog, Ink. Although Barb can get a little Mother Earth-y for me at times, I loved this book enough to purchase her follow-up.

How Can I Be Lost When I Don't Know Where I'm Going?

This book struck a veritable symphonies worth of chords inside the soul of this fastidious critic. It is quite refreshing to read the intimate first-person observations and perspectives of this brilliant author's travels. After reading this book, you will feel like you have just met an old dear friend. It will likewise have you listing the house with the realtor, purchasing that little camper and fulfilling that primal desire --- wanderlust. I thank Barb Thacker for such a brilliant book.

Recapture your sense of wonder.

Barb Thacker has written a life-affirming book with a sense of humor. It certainly makes spending time seeing the world sound like the right choice! Her stories of her dog Ink make the book even better. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I hope Ms. Thacker keeps traveling and keeps writing books.

How can I be lost when I don't know where I'm Going?

I thought that this was an excellent book, and I had a hard time putting it down. Ms. Thacker makes you feel as though you are on the journey with her! Lots of wit and humor also. I have also read the sequel, "Blissfully lost in the Baja", and loved every minute of it also. I can't wait for her to come out with another enjoyable book.

Inspriration!

I never thought about buying an RV until I read this book, and now I plan go at RVing full time within the next year. Barb taught me in this entertaining book not to be afraid to try something new. Every woman can follow her example of fun, freedom, and bravery!
