This review is from: Family Fun Vacation Guide: Southwest - Book #3 (Family Fun Vacation Guides) (Paperback)

I purchased this book for a major family road trip vacation that our family took through Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California. Besides the book that I purchased that was for California specifically this book was another invaluable item for our vacation of a lifetime. Not only was it a wealth of information on tips for making the car ride more enjoyable, but also helped us to be uber prepared for anything that might come up, including food issues and expenses, entertaining the kids, where the populated areas are for gas stations, motels and campgrounds, and must-see attractions. And we were assured that we would not miss something by driving right by it and not knowing it was there or worth seeing. This book is loaded with the "must-see" things we didn't want to miss. And their ratings for things were right on. We were armed and dangerous with our information of what everything was going to cost, how we were going to plan our route to see the things we wanted to see, how much time things would take, and what places are crowded with tourists so when the best time is to visit - how to plan our day, where to stay, where to eat, etc.

The best thing about this and the other Family Fun California vacation guide that I purchased is that my husband and kids now have memories that they will treasure for a lifetime, thanks to the tips and ratings and ideas in these books. We did it all, saw it all, and didn't waste a moment's time on so-so attractions that cost a lot an didn't offer that much entertainment value.

If you are planning a trip to the SOUTHWEST, you have to get this book. Mine is still earmarked with sticky notes and serves as an anthology of our trip, packed right next to the photo album and all of our personal vacation journals.

Go west young man! And take this book with ya!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing but great from Family Fun!, June 6, 2003

By 

Tara Miller (Macon GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: FamilyFun Vacation Guide: Florida (Paperback)

I loved the book (we got the southeast one). It covers all of the southeast, not just FL and the big mouse! We live in GA so this book is awesome for us as we are central to all of the states it covers. If you are only buying one book, this should be it!! It rates must do's, costs, ages and also includes hotels and local eateries which most travel guides don't. I was very impressed. The above reviewer is reviewing the CA book so don't ket her review persuade you not to buy. You will not be disapointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars needs help, March 7, 2003

By 

elizabeth bescoby (mt baldy, ca United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Family Fun Vacation Guide: Southwest - Book #3 (Paperback)

This book needs some help. I am a big Family Fun Fan, and take the mag. and have all their books and was so excited to find that they had finally put a travel book together.
I loved the begining part about ways to travel with kids, all their tips and side notes. I liked that I could find kid friendly hotels and resturaunts.
But I was so dissapointed that alot of the states that I would be traveling in the book only talked about a few areas in that state. California should of had been one book and talked about northern and southern Calif., not just a few citties.
Family Fun has always had out of the way and unusal places to travel in their mag. why didn't they do this for their travel book.
If you are looking to see places all over the southwest in this book, you might be dissapointed like me.
