“Sailors and Society in Georgian England : The Home of Lord Nelson, Jane Austen & Jack Aubrey” – It sounds a bit like someone’s history thesis but in fact is a ten day luxury tour  organized and escorted by British maritime scholar and author of more than thirty books, Brian Lavery, and  Annemarie Victory, the owner of the New York-based specialty tour company that bears her name.  The tour sounds perfect for my wife and me.  I am a fan of Georgian Naval Fiction while my wife is a Janeite, a rabid fan of Jane Austen.  It is, however, a bit beyond my budget at around $10,000 a person, once airfare and incidentals are figured in.  Sounds like a wonderful trip all the same.  The tour is from September 12 to 22, 2011.
