How many times have you thought, "Gee, it'd be great to have an adventure in another part of the world?"  If you're itching for the experience but aren't sure where to go, get inspired by some of the world's top travel writers.

In "The Best Travel Writing 2007: True Stories from Around the World," 27 writers take you from Vietnam to Italy to South Dakota with stories that will touch your heart and motivate you to get out and see the world.

The book, which was edited by James O'Reilly, Larry Habegger and Sean O'Reilly, is the fourth edition in Travelers' Tale, an annual series launched in 2004 to celebrate the world's best travel writing.  Past contributors have included Nobel Prize winners and new writers.

The 2007 edition will take readers to a taco stand in Mexico that fosters its own social magic, to a precarious mountain edge in New Zealand and on a wild adventure to scatter a beloved brother's ashes in Bolivia.

Many of the stories highlight what's possible when you take the time to really explore a new corner of the world.  So, if you find yourself with the newfound luxury of time to travel, check out this book for a roadmap to your next adventure.
