People are asking us when our “Bored In” series of books will return after being nearly decimated from the pandemic. The answer is… very soon! Bored in Paris will be the first one, up and running on Amazon in both ebook and print versions at the start of June. The rest of them will follow during the summer. The books are all about the fun experiences you can have in our “Clued In” cities. Thank you so much for all your kind words and best wishes!

The newest addition to our “fun” series of travel guides has just arrived on amazon.com. We’re so proud of Bored in London – Awesome Experiences for the Repeat Visitor and can’t wait for our fans to check it out! From horseback riding in Hyde park to spending the night at the London Zoo, this book is jammed packed with all the info you need to make an ordinary visit into something truly special.

When we tell people about the newest book in our Bored In series, we always get the same reaction: “How can anyone be bored in Florence?” Even our contact at Amazon publishing said it. But that’s okay because those in the know realize that this super-fun guide to Florence might have a snarky title but it’s about awesome experience for the repeat visitor. (It can also make a first-time visit there into something extra special.) Whether you’re going there all by yourself, with kids, going to get engaged, or are planning a honeymoon trip, YOU NEED THIS BOOK. We think our chapter headings say it all:
Try a Group Experience
(View things differently as part of a pack)
Connect with Nature
(Outdoor activities in and around Florence)
Learn Something New
(And gain knowledge of the culture)
Search for Something
(Hunting for Tuscan goodies is fun)
Have an Engrossing Individual Experience
(Make it all about you)
Make Memories
(Share delightful moments with loved ones)
Local Thrills and Chills
(Some of Florence’s more hair-raising sights)
Be a Child Again
(Places and activities to share with your kids)
If you’ve ever thought about rafting on the Arno River, or dining in a former Medici Palace, this is your guide book. It’ll give you all the info at your fingertips. Unlike our Clued In series, it is available in a handy 5×8 inch travel sized paperback as well as in ebook format (which has all the web links and email addresses live and clickable.)
So don’t just go to the Uffizi Gallery again, or if you do, go with a fun group tour led by an expert that will bring it all to life! That’s what Bored in Florence is about.
Happy travels, Dean & Andie
For centuries, September has been the historic start of the so-called “social season.” It was when important people and great families would return from their languid summer respites in the countryside and again take up residence in the city. September was also the month for final fittings of new gowns and shoes which had been ordered up so that everyone would be decked out in the latest fashion. Carriages were readied, silver was polished, and the anticipation of who would be at the opera and who would get engaged was probably foremost on people’s minds.
Today’s world is more relaxed of course, but some of the traditions continue. Opera seasons in Europe and in the U.S. still begin during this time, and back-to-school is another version of it. And while folks no longer worry about whether they’ll be presented at court, they do start making more plans for upcoming performances, new restaurants, and other fun things to pursue as cities all over the world get back to business.
In this spirit, we have updated each of our City-Extras pages (through the menu above) with social-season stuff that you should definitely consider doing. Grab your tickets quickly though because many of our mentions will end up selling out!
