On The Go With Jeri Smith-Ready + Giveaway

You have been given your Dream Vacation. Where are you going & what are you doing?
Scotland! I would spend a week in Glasgow, then travel the highlands and islands.
What if you could travel to a different time period?
Ooh, I'd go to the 1940s, when men wore fedoras. They looked so cool.
Are you a planner or a seat-of-the pants traveler?
I'm a planner, but I like to leave a certain amount of wiggle room for spontaneity. Also, I forget to do things, so often the spontaneity is forced on me.
What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you on vacation?
Well, it didn't happen to me directly, but my husband got the flu on our honeymoon. The only fortunate part was that our honeymoon was three months after our wedding. He missed the first couple of days while I went out on bus tours and stuff. He still gives me guilt trips, in a joking way, for leaving him behind in the hotel room.
