Nikki,
I'm ever so jealous of your upcoming trip. BTW I hope that birthdays and anniversaries and such all went well recently.
As for some reading. Okie dokie here ya go!
www.shambhala.com has a terrific collection of buddhist books. Go to their book catalogue and then to search by subject. You'll get a pull down menu with subjects and choose the buddhism one. You get about 200 or so results.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism a most fascinating free encyclopedia with links galore about the different branches of Buddhism. Here is the disclaimer about why this site might not be the end all be all of information http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_Wikipedia_is_not_so_great
From above site: A feature of Buddhism in the West has been the emergence of groups which, while they draw on traditional Buddhism, are in fact an attempt at creating a new style of non-sectarian Buddhist practice. The Shambala group set up by Chögyam Trungpa is one example, and the FWBO (Friends of the Western Buddhist Order) by Sangharakshita is another.
http://www.acmuller.net/ddb/ digital dictionary of buddhism Here is homepage and intro for that site http://www.acmuller.net/ Resources for East Asian Language and Thought
So many ways to classify different schools of thought of Buddhism. I'll go on but only as you answer with more specifics. We'll take it from there. K?
