Great travel ideas!
This book contains both luxury priced and reasonably priced options for places to stay and things to do. I like the options given for travel around the world, even to out-of-the-way places.

Not what I expected...

A lovely 5 minute diversion
I keep this text on my desk at work. When I need a moment to clear my head, I open to any page and begin to read. Sometimes it is more interesting to consider what was left out than what is actually contained in the text.
