Since that time I've enjoyed exploring subways and metros all over the world - Rome, Lausanne, Boston, Paris - and remain fascinated by the unusual adventures to be had both in the journey and unique destinations it offers.  While I love popping up in new places, I also love the ride.  I've met some very colorful people on the subway.  I've participated in sing-a-longs on the subway.  On my way to the Champs Elysee I was almost thrown up on by a man in a top hat on the subway.   And on my way to the Colloseum I almost threw up on a woman playing the zither on the subway.  My theory is that if you ride long enough, you'll see the entire world go by.  Magical!

GIVEAWAY:  Ever wondered what wonders lie at each stop on the NYC Subway?  "Off The Beaten (Subway) Track" by Suzanne Reisman takes you on a wild ride to the some of the most fascinating and whimsical subway destinations.  Organized by neighborhood, you can vicariously visit each of these unique landmarks or use this book as a guide to planning your own subway adventure!

But before you dare to share subway air during the upcoming flu season, we want to make sure you're prepared!  That's why the winner of this giveaway will also receive a pack of Nozin Nasal Sanitizers.  Don't fear the random coughs and sneezes of fellow travelers - these swabs help reduce the risk of infection on planes, trains and subways for hours.

TO ENTER:  Simply leave a comment telling me:  Have you ever ridden the Subway?  If so, what is your most memorable Subway experience?  Good luck!
