Set the scene for armchair adventures with food, drink, and entertainment suggestions—and enjoy virtual vacations to destinations around the world.

With a tiny bit of ingenuity and effort, anyone can create a wonderful weekend at home that brings almost as much pleasure as an actual vacation away—without the hassle of flights, foreign currency exchange, or large credit card bills. This entertaining and instructive book features guides to experiencing all the excitement of Brazil, Mexico, Scotland, Ireland, Paris, Tuscany, Greece, Morocco, Africa, St. Petersburg, India, China, Thailand, Japan, and Australia—all without leaving the comfort of home. Each chapter offers:
  • suggestions on setting the scene
  • books, videos, and music for your weekend
  • a complete meal suggestion, with recipes


Part cookbook, part cultural guidebook, this unique volume is also ideal for planning themed dinner parties—and opens up new worlds even when you can’t hop on a plane.
