Editor: Here is the third (and final, for now) group of books selected by Laura as inspirational for travel. There is nothing like emptying an old bookcase to bring back memories of books that were inspirational. I hope you enjoy these novels as much as Laura did. And I hope that you find them as inspirational. Happy travels.

Generally speaking, our government takes a hands-off approach to regulating travel companies and appears to be uncomfortable fielding consumer complaints. For example, the federal government doesn’t really have any meaningful regulatory authority over travel agencies, hotels and rental cars, and exerts minimal influence over airlines and cruise lines.
