I can soooo do this job! You've watched Rick on PBS, right? He travels all over Europe filming his adventures, giving us travel tips and hints. I'm thinkin' "Middle Aged Woman Traveling!" Yes, I know there is that one travel show with that little, petite thing with the short hair whose name escapes me right now, but honestly, she is just too damned perky! We want a real woman traveler. Not so bubbly, but more realistic, damn it! Sort of like an older Sex in The City woman who can show you where to find the really good bargains on shoes, scarves and handbags in Rome, where to find great sex without getting STDs in Paris, how to spot royalty in Gstaad, and how to tell which Australian men are really hung. This would be a show for after 9 PM when the kiddies are in bed. A modern day Sex and The Single Woman! Only, probably a lot less sex.
Let's face it, late night television needs a pick me up! And there are no women anywhere to be found on late night unless you have cable TV and have access to raunchy (and often hilarious) and crude, Chelsea Handler. She's made it work for herself but she doesn't travel the world! Women of a certain age want excitement! They know this may be their last chance to get out there and live life like there is no tomorrow, but they don't want to lose their divorce settlements doing it! And we can't all be Elizabeth Gilbert, running around beaches in Bali hooking up with middle-aged men who have been living in a hut for years.
I could interview all the interesting people while visiting different countries. I would love to find out what the French President's ex-wives really thinks of Carla Bruni. Granted, Carla seems like a perfectly beautiful and charming young woman, but Nicky's exes just have to want to flatten her sometimes. Now, his first ex has to share her grandchildren with her! Wouldn't you love to hear from her? And how about the guy that runs Toyota? Hello!!! What were you thinking? Or even women in our own country, like David Letterman's wife. "How much is he paying you to stay exactly?"
Travel Channel!! Come and get me!!! I am so ready!!

18 ♥ Leave Me A Love Note:
I think this is a great idea! We need this kind of programming. I want people who will talk about "real" traveling and who complain (just a bit) about how their feet hurt after a long day of walking. That's always on my mind when I travel.
Exactly, Betty! I want to know where not to go! And, when is Rockport putting out a pair of shoes that look HOT! Yet, have that comfy heel and wide toe width we middle-aged women need. And sexy French undies that look like thongs, but don't go up your crack! We want to know where to make that purchase!
What a clever post! I'm sure you could do this job and give running commentary that would have people rolling on the floor! If you need a sidekick, I'm available. :)
I'm still looking for the food vs man job!!!
*SMILES*
Great idea--I'd watch!
This is such a good idea, I'm going to contact the program director or whoever is in charge of PBS and send a link to this post (if you don't mind, of course). I think you'd be a shoo-in!
Oh, you are SOOOOOOOO Middle-Aged-Sex-in-the-City-Traveling-Woman. You could even do it in those jazzy shoes in your header.. Carrie would be so proud!... I say pitch it to someone important. :-) Can I come too?
OK friend you OBVIOUSLY need a sidekick and I AM your girl!!
A sidekick! Yes!! Like Rosemary and Thyme or William Powell and Myrna Loy, Snoopy and Woodstock, Mr. Peabody and Sherman or one of my very personal favorites....... Ethel and Lucy!! Middle-aged Women Traveling! Sorry, Timoteo, but this show will be for traveling women only... it has been my personal experience that traveling men end up in Phuket. Of course, we can all travel there, but most men never want to leave! We may have to come back and rescue you!!
Yes, yes and yes! You have got to do it! ...and I may just follow along (if you don't mind of course). Brilliant idea!
If I had a television, I would watch your show! I have to admit, though, that since I have no tv, I don't really know who the people you mentioned are!
You could even interview famous literary personages.
Me, too. I adore Rick. Can I be your assistant?
I think you need to go for it.
We love Rick. My husband and I followed his books religiously on our trip back in 1996. Now putting one together for my son and his fiance for their honeymoon. They don't get as nice of hotels as us, but our 1-2 stars were pretty good. I want his job.
I think you're going to have to hold side-kick tryouts. I've already begun preparing my material! I just want to tell you you have a new fan. I found your blog and I've now been reading it for the better part of two hours. I need to stop for today...today was supposed to be my day to give myself and pedicure...and a manicure...and pluck my eyebrows. Instead, I have my feet in a now cold bucket of soapy water and if I sit here any longer, my eyebrows will completely obscure my vision! But I'll be back tomorrow to continue. I have some catching up to do!
I think the Travel Channel needs to make this a group effort!!
I can be your correspondent back home. I'm not a very good traveler. I can say, "Meanwhile, back at the ranch..."
Bring it, MAWB! There is definitely room for this show on any channel. I would be endlessly entertained watching your show. Do you need a shopping scout? I'm really very versatile in the shopping arena; I can do everything from high-end designer through flea market! I love your suitcase!
