When I was on vacation last week, I paused a few moments to think about whether I could turn any of my stops (Quebec City, Montreal, the Eastern Provinces of Canada) into an article or post of some sort. And then I thanked my lucky stars that I'm not a full-time travel writer, because you'd never technically get vacation, would you? Unless maybe you took a vacation inside your own apartment.

More on the lives of travel writers here on this article from the Times yesterday, which happens to mention mb teachers Thomas Kohnstamm, Robert Reid and Jay Cooke.

If you do get to travel a lot for work you have the opportunity to do things like this.
