During my last visit to Houston airport I bought a book just to kill some time on board. It was a first book I've ever read that was written by Lee Child. It's entitled "Bad Luck and Trouble". The story absorbed me so much, that I almost finished book on board - luckily flight was too short and I spent more two days reading it at home. Lee in his book is telling us the story of ex-military cop Jack Reacher. It turned out later that Child had written more books about Reacher, so I quickly had found them on allegro and bought next two. Each book in Lee Child's series is very addictive and New York Times is referring them as "pure escapist gold". I completely agree with them and plan to read next two books pretty soon. The only problem is that when you start, you can't stop...

Weekend in Andalusia?
Maybe I'll spend a weekend in Andalusia soon. It appeared that in one of the airline loyalty program, I've enough miles to go with my wife to one of the European cities. Moreover if not used, they'll expire in June.
Because I learn spanish and was in Spain only once, my dream is to visit this country as many times as possible. Internet search showed that for my miles I can go to Madrid, Malaga or Barcelona - Unfortunately can't go to Sevilla. To spend even less miles for a ticket I should buy it two weeks before departure, so if I'm lucky enough, I'll have my tickets till the end of the week.
Since I've decided to go there and have never been there before, I'd to buy some guide. You can find at least 5 Spain guides in polish, but all of them are very general and have only few pages describing Andalusia. Luckily we have a chain of American Bookstores in Poland and they've good choice of guides. Furthermore they've had a new arrival of books recently. I've found Eyewitness Travel Guide: Sevilla & Andalusia from DK Publishing.
Yesterday I browsed the book and it seems to describe all the interesting places. When I'm back from the trip, I'll be able to give you final recommendation on the book. Keep your fingers crossed for my trip! See you soon...
