BTT: Vacation Spots

Happy Thursday folks! Ah yes, the week is almost over. This week’s Booking Through Thursday question asks:
Do you buy books while on vacation/holiday?
Do you have favorite bookstores that you only get to visit while away on a trip?
What/Where are they?
I usually end up taking a book with me on vacation, usually to help pass the time while waiting in an airport, on a long flight, or just in case I need some relief from travel stress. As a result, the book is usually a paperback (travels better) and is normally a book I’ve read multiple times but never get tired of. This is in hopes that if I’m in need of something to occupy my mind, I can slip right into that mind set. At the same time, if I get jarred or am unable to return to the book, since I am on vacation and all, I won’t be upset for having lost my place or something.
While on vacation I don’t really buy books. I’d rather spend my money on something that I can’t buy at home or for events and happenings in that locale. I can buy any book from the comfort of my own home after all, but I can’t say the same for touring, for example, the Arc de Triomphe. The only exception to this might be a nicely crafted book filled with the history of and pictures of the site I’m visiting. But then that falls under the category of souvenir really.
