2.0 out of 5 stars Uneven coverage, unrealistic "itineraries", February 28, 2005
This review is from: Daytrips and Getaway Weekends in the Mid-Atlantic States, 6th: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia (Paperback)
Despite the title, "daytrips and getaway weekends," this reads like a poorly organized standard travel guide. Most "itineraries" contain at least a weeks' worth of activities (would anyone consider "New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson River Valley" to be a manageable daytrip, or even weekend trip?). Some itineraries list literally hundreds of different sites and activities, while others would entail 24 hours of driving (this is not what I think of when I think "daytrip"!).

My 2nd gripe is that half the book is devoted to New York. Pennsylvania gets a big chunk of the rest, while coverage of Maryland, Virginia, DC, etc. is thin.

Finally, the maps are completely inadequate.
