Book Description

Explorer's Great Destinations January 7, 2008

"Consistently rated the best guides to the regions covered...Readable, tasteful, appealingly designed. Strong on dining, lodging, culture, and history."—National Geographic Traveler.

Distinctive for their accuracy, simplicity, and conversational tone, the diverse travel guides in our Explorer's Great Destinations series meet the conflicting demands of the modern traveler. They're packed full of up-to-date information to help plan the perfect getaway. And they're compact and light enough to come along for the ride. A tool you'll turn to before, during, and after your trip, these guides include:
  • Chapters on lodging, dining, transportation, history, shopping, recreation, and more!
  • A section packed with practical information, such as lists of banks, hospitals, post offices, laundry mats, numbers for police, fire, and rescue, and other relevant information.
  • Maps of regions and locales.

From the sea border with Mexico to the Louisiana shore, the coast of Texas is rich in history, recreation, and natural and architectural beauty and is a major destination for both Texans and non-Texans alike.

This review is from: Explorer's Guide Galveston, South Padre Island & the Texas Gulf Coast: A Great Destination (Explorer's Great Destinations) (Paperback)
This book was worthless. We would never, ever have bought it if we had picked it up and looked at it in a bookstore. I am serious: there was NOTHING in this book that we could use in planning our weekend on South Padre Island. I would have given this a rating of zero stars but the system would not let me.
