Top travel memory: “My favourite travel memory is my honeymoon: a three-week road trip from New Orleans to Chicago with my husband, Dan, taking in rural Louisiana, Memphis, Nashville and Louisville, followed by a train trip for another week to New York. It's my favourite memory because it involved a nice man, more music than I have in my mammoth record collection, and so much barbecue I was guaranteed never to fit into my wedding dress ever again.”
