More of a practical idea-book than a nuts-and-bolts travel guide, Journeys of a Lifetime—compiled from the travel writers at National Geographic—is guaranteed to inspire wanderlust. A luxury train ride through India in the traveling tradition of the maharajahs; a food and wine journey through Sicily; a riverboat cruise down the Amazon; a biking tour of Frank Lloyd Wright homes in Oak Park, Illinois—the diverse collection of voyages appeals to travelers of varying means and interests. Of particular note to literary and history buffs, an entire chapter offers trips that follow the footsteps of figures such as Jane Austen and Napoleon. Each entry offers advice on when to go, how long to stay, and where to find more information, among other travel tips. And because it's from the folks at National Geographic, the accompanying photographs are spectacular. My list of "Trips I Want to Take" just got a lot longer!
