Worthy Links: 18.05.12

This coming week is a little exciting: I'm driving off to New York on Sunday and heading to Blogfest! On the 6 hour drive down to Manhattan, which I love for the breathtaking scenery of Upstate NY, I'll be indulging in one of my favorite guilty pleasures: cranking the volume and singing along to my favorite cheezy top 40 songs (ok I'm embarrassed now)! I may bring an audiobook along as well to make me feel a little more educated.

The point is, I LOVE long drives by myself. It's one of the few times I get to reflect, relax and enjoy the ride. So when I had the chance to fly or drive, it wasn't even a question. Besides: carry-on versus car space? Hello? I'll keep you updated along the way, but while I get ready for this week of mayhem, feel free to indulge in this week's worthy links.
