Best Travel Books for Planning your Vacation
Travel guide books help with planning your romantic or family vacation.
Recently we were planning a romantic summer vacation to Europe. We knew that we wanted to go to Europe but were unsure as to where we wanted to spend our time.
I went to what seemed like a plethora of travel websites to get some ideas, but I have to tell you it was tough trying to pick which cities in Europe to plan our romantic vacation. I went from website to website. I got a couple of ideas but still felt frustrated. I couldn't' get a "feel" for each destination.
Maybe I am old fashioned, or showing my age, but all I could think of was that I wish I had a great guide book for Europe. We haven't been to Europe, other than on a cruise and a short trip to Amsterdam, since our honeymoon in 1999.
So I put our plans on hold until I took a trip to our local book store.
(If I had time to wait then I would have gone to
Amazon.com
I was thinking that maybe the travel section had gotten smaller with new technology, however that wasn't the case. If anything it was just as large as it always have been.
I guess that the travel guide books still have their place for travelers. There were so many different guides to choose from.
Which to choose? All the best travel books were there - Fodors travel books, Frommers, Lonely Planet or Eyewitness Guides. I have used them all for trip planning, and they all have different pluses and minuses.
See see which of the best travel guide books I chose.
