Book Description

July 2001
Escape Plans includes more than 75 destinations to the north, east, south and west of Washington, generally reachable in one to four hours by car. Nearly twenty maps to help you plot your plans, whether for day trips, weekends or a bit more. Includes lodging, restaurants, directions, prices and other newly updated information you need--including web sites as well as phone numbers.

A special section is located with the index that groups getaways by individual desires or needs, whether for a romantic spot or a place that welcomes pets. This is a getaway guide for all seasons, all interests, all those determined to get more out of washington-area life.


Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Escape Plans tells you where -- and, even better, how and why--to go. For all of the Washignton area's escape artists, and for anyone else itching to pack a bag and make a swift getaway(meaning one that's generally within an hour to four hours of the Beltway), it is meant to be a useful and wide-ranging palette. Here, in one place, are the details of more than 75 destinations--enough information to chart out years of non-work joy and adventure.

In more than twenty years at the Post--including four as editor of its popular Weekend section--he has made a speciality of uncovering ways to enjoy life in the capital region.
