.The Cost Conscious Cruiser
City Travel Guides > Books > Specialty Travel
by: Lin Pardey, Larry Pardey

1998
Interesting review of a crusing lifestyle based on affordability. Enjoyed the stories while learning about all aspects of what it takes ( and what it doesn't take) in order to enjoy a cruising lifestyle on a budget.

.Rocky Mountain National Park Dayhiker's Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Specialty Travel
by: Jerome Malitz

2005-03
I had the previous (original?) iteration of this book, and it was very useful. This has even more information, including a handy difficulty rating system (although one was wrong). If you plan on doing any hiking in/around RMNP, this is the one to get.

.Odysseus' Last Stand: The Chronicles of a Bicycle Nomad
City Travel Guides > Books > Specialty Travel
by: Dave Stamboulis

September 28, 2005
I guess I'll start off saying that this book isn't what I normally read. I like how he doesn't sugar coat things if it was awful he says so. It was a truly amazing journey and I think a lot of people would enjoy reading it. It has become one of my most given presents.

.The Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Obsession and Survival Among America's Great White Sharks
City Travel Guides > Books > Specialty Travel
by: Susan Casey

May 30, 2006
I just finished reading this book and I've got to say that this was a really good book. The author really makes you feel like it is YOU who are there at the Farallon Islands, instead of just reading about someone else's experiences. I learned a lot about great whites, the wildlife on the islands, and the history of the islands. There were many interesting facts and "experiences" that I took away from this book that will stay with me for a long time.

2005-04
This book is the go to source for hiking in the San Gabriel mountains.
I have earlier editions, and was pleased to see many hikes updated and revisited and new ones added.
All previously closed or open hikes now revisited and updated.
author is handing off this book to writer of a younger generation who embraces the same spirit and style of the excellent ealier editions.
nicely done.
glad I updated my copy.
Also comes with a great water proof-tear proof map.

.101 Things You Never Knew About Disneyland: An Unauthorized Look At The Little Touches And Inside Jokes
City Travel Guides > Books > Specialty Travel
by: Kevin Yee, Jason Schultz

March 18, 2005
I thought that this book was a great read. We are getting ready to go to Disneyland again, and although somethings I did know. I still loved reading about all the things I did not. My brother even enjoyed reading it, and in a day of TV I was suprised with how much he enjoyed it and stoped watching the TV. I think this book is a must have for any Disneyland fan and even just a Disney fan. I know I will bring the book to Disneyland just to look for the things I didn't know or have never noticed. I think it is a Must Buy !

.High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Unforgiving Places
City Travel Guides > Books > Specialty Travel
by: David Breashears

May 17, 2000
This book is organized such that each chapter is devoted to a single milestone of Breashears' life. In each case he gives a general overview of that milestone, along with a few descriptive details of particular situations. But mostly, it is an OVERVIEW of the experiences that made him the man that he is today. After my initial disappointment that the book wasn't as detailed as I had hoped it would be, I accepted it the way that it was and truly enjoyed the rest of it.

.Oahu Trailblazer: Where to Hike, Snorkel, Surf from Honolulu to the North Shore (Trailblazer)
City Travel Guides > Books > Specialty Travel
by: Jerry Sprout; Janine Sprout

December 15, 2006
We took two guidebooks to Oahu, this one and No Worries Hawaii planning guide. They made a good pair. The one in color (NW) clued us in how to plan our itinerary and decide which island we really wanted to visit first. Hotel decisions were made so much easier. My husband was inspired by the surfing, so Oahu won out.

The Oahu Trailblazer was very detailed and motivated us to explore a chunk day by day. They cover all the beaches and trails in a well thought out format. There are driving maps in each section which make it easy to skip through the pages and still know exactly where you are on the island. There are hundreds of photos so you can picture where you're going.

Surfing was as good as it gets. Put their walking tour of Honolulu on your ... Read More:
