Welcome to Throwing Horns Abroad!

This is the first of many posts, all devoted to a combination of travel and music.

There are lots of great reasons for picking one vacation destination over another. Maybe you have family in Toronto, or your best friend is offering up her timeshare in Hawaii.  Maybe your vacation is planned around your sister's destination wedding in Mexico or you'll tack on a few extra days to a work trip and check out the areas around New Orleans outside of the boardroom.

Maybe you pick your travel destinations around art galleries, museums, or theatres? Maybe sports events draw you to one city over another? Maybe you just want to see the beach where LOST was shot?

For me, I've designed a number of vacations around music. 

Part of it is practical; I like a lot of not-so-mainstream bands, and they just don't come to my city all the time for tours.  This means I have to travel to see them, and I'm not the only one.  Hopefully over the course of this blog, I'll share with you stories from other people who have done the same thing. Music is an important part of this blog, but I also hope to bring you practical travel advice and interesting stories.
