Questing Marilyn: In Search of My Holy Grail
"In Questing Marilyn the author travels to the UK in an attempt to reconnect and find herself. She joins a group of colleagues and acquaintances on a tour of Britain and Ireland's sacred sites such as Salisbury Cathedral, Stonehenge, Glastonbury Tor, Glastonbury Abbey, Avebury, Tintagel, Bath, Kilkenny Castle, and New Grange.
This book relays detailed information on the mythological, historical, and spiritual significance of each while providing unique insight into the accommodations, dining, shopping, and sightseeing opportunities are available near these sites.
An important aspect of this book is that the author candidly discusses the pros and cons of group tours by detailing her experiences during this vacation. The reader can then use this information to decide if he or she would be more suited to directed group travel or more flexible individualized travel.
The most important message of this book is the introduction of travel as a tool towards self-exploration and self-acceptance. During a vacation, normal routines and responsibilities can be temporarily forgotten. Thus, vacation time is the perfect time to reflect on these very personalized aspects of one's life, how he or she feels about that life, and what they need to do to make his or herself happy.
Questing Marilyn is a great book for both those individuals interested in visiting the sacred sites of the United Kingdom and those searching for self-exploration. An excellent gift to yourself, to your best friend, to your sister, to your daughter, or to your mother."
