They suggested I take my planned vacation sooner rather than later. I told them that for now I'd have to settle for vicarious thrills...I was on the lookout for films about women like me who were dying to hit the road, any road. Katie and Aishah jumped on the bandwagon. <p>Despite such simple criteria  women...traveling...in a film  we argued an awful lot. <p> <table> <tr> <td> <a href="http://www.tripod.com/women/feature/review /film/961108wtrav2.html"><img src="http://www.tripod.com/women/feature/review /film/img/no.jpg" alt="Screaming Woman" width="71" height="71" border="0"></a> <br> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.tripod.com/women/feature/review /film/961108wtrav2.html"><font size="+2"><b>Films We Rejected:</b><br> Reel Life</font></a> <br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="http://www.tripod.com/women/feature/review /film/961108wtrav3.html"><img src="http://www.tripod.com/women/feature/review /film/img/yes.jpg" alt="Smiling Woman" width="71" height="73" border="0"></a> <br> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.tripod.com/women/feature/review /film/961108wtrav3.html"><font size="+2"><b>Films We Kept:</b><br> Real Life?</font></a> <br> </td></tr></table> <p>We definitely missed several traveling women on film this weekend. I'm trying to talk TLA Video into setting up a "Go West, Young Woman!" shelf or three. It would be great if only for those restless summers and holidays when any woman, young or not, starts dreaming of being anywhere but where she is. If ever proof was needed that women can and do tread their own paths, these films are it. </font> <br><br> <p><br><p><br> </td></tr></table> <p> <font size="+1"> </font> <p> <form method="POST" action="../../../../../www_subdomain/bin/search/pursuit.html"> <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="RIGHT"> <tr> <td valign="MIDDLE" align="MIDDLE"> <a href="../../../../../www_subdomain/women.html" target="_top"></a></td> <td valign="MIDDLE" align="MIDDLE"> <a href="../../../../../www_subdomain/women/index-html/anchor_toc.html" target="_top"></a></td> <td valign="TOP" align="RIGHT"> <select name="pod_name" onchange="self.top.podRedirect(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)"> <option value="">Related Pods</option> <option value="Mod">Mod</option> <option value="Romantic">Romantic</option> <option value="X-Squared">X-Squared</option> </select></td> </tr> </table> <br clear="ALL"><br> <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="RIGHT"> <tr> <td valign="MIDDLE" align="RIGHT"> <nobr><img src="../../../../../img/www_subdomain/lycos_power.gif" border="0" alt="Lycos Powered" height="15" width="91"> <select name="cat"> <option value="tripod_www" selected>Search the Tripod Web Site <option value="tripod">Search Tripod Member Pages <option value="lycos">Search the Web</select></nobr></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="MIDDLE" align="RIGHT"> <nobr><input type="text" size="20" name="query"> <input type="submit" value="Search"></nobr></td> </tr> </table> </form> <br clear="ALL"> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
