.The Essential Travel Planning Kit City Travel Guides > Books > Essential by: Godfrey Harris August 12, 2002 "The Essential Travel Planning Kit" would seem to be at odds with the spontaneous spirit of the happy wanderer. The book's step-by-step system seems more geared to the anxious traveler who prefers to leave nothing to chance. Author Godfrey Harris holds your hand through the most basic functions. One one of the 11 reproducible forms provided in this book, for example, he suggests jotting down your preferred means of transportation such as "plane" or "car" or other possible mode of locomotion before moving on to other work forms such as "Travel Calendar" and "Items to Go," "Trip Budget" and "Packing Chart." Dismiss such anal-retentive planning at your own risk, however. Better to overplan than to plan too little and forget any medications. Harrisa, ...

.Essential Guide to Hiking in the United States City Travel Guides > Books > Essential by: Charles Cook October 01, 1991 If you're looking for great prose, go elsewhere. This is not a criticism, for the similarity in description makes it easy to compare places within and among states. The descriptions of the parks and forests follow such a similar pattern that the whole thing would have been presented more efficiently as a series of charts. I found the long-distance trails to be the most useful information, because it's hardest to find elsewhere. I bought this book when it first appeared, and just came back hoping for an update. Many of the phone numbers are no longer valid, in part because of the proliferation of area codes. It would be nice to have the long-distance trail information updated, as well as an update on trail usage ...

.The Essential Backpacker: A Complete Guide for the Foot Traveler City Travel Guides > Books > Essential by: Adrienne Hall December 26, 2000 I have many books on backpacking, this one is the shortest and the most useful. This book gets right to the point and is chock full of information, while it seems other books say a lot of things such as "find out what poison ivy looks like" or "learn how to use a compass" this book actually gives you the information. It also has great (b&w) pictures which are relevant and helpful. Whether you are planning a dayhike or something much longer this book will be a valuable resource, I think it's the best of them all! >>See More Reviews & Details on The Essential Backpacker: A Complete Guide for the Foot Traveler |
