What if we didn't go home? So begins this warm account of mostly Mediterranean travels -- Spain, Portugal, Greece, Sicily, Capri, the Turkish Coast, Naples, Burgundy, Scotland -- arranged by season. Mayes includes husband Ed, her family and friends and, by extension, her readers in her adventures, interweaving her travels with the books that she is reading, hopes and dreams. She and Ed quit their jobs to embrace travel (the book actually covers five years -- and they did go home, sometimes to their beloved Bramasole). The book ends with a meditation on home and Mayes' dream one day to open a cafe, back home, in Georgia's Golden Isles.
