When looking for travel tips I used to think the ideal solution would be to speak with someone who knew the travel destination well and was aware of my likes, dislikes and preferences. Paula Tevis' guide exceeded my expectations. It's organized in a logical and very easy to use way. As you are reading it you are made aware of a variety of options, opportunities and solutions. For example, I just assumed I would rent a car at the airport. Wrong. Chapter 4, Tying Up The Loose Ends, lists alternatives and gives rationales for making selections. As was the case throughout the guide, Paula provided the necessary detail, phone numbers and URLs to make the appropriate choice and act on it. I had a better trip because I used the guide and a less expensive one as well.

I'm planning my first cruse in 1999, I hope Paula puts out a guide to help me with that as well.

I found the Idiot's guide to San Francisco to have good information on places to visit and things to see, but it could have been better if it included more accurate transportation information. My advice would be to scan this book in the store for a few clues on places to go, but save your money for a book that will better help you arrive at your destination.
