5.0 out of 5 stars Let's Go:A great source for off the beaten path finds, June 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Let's Go 98 USA (Annual) (Paperback)

In my travels around eastern U.S. over the last year I have been amazed at the unusual, off the beaten path things Let's Go USA consistently includes. Unlike other travel guides I've seen, this guide bypasses the ordinary tourist traps in favor of the spots only longtime residents of the area would seemingly be aware of. Also, using the guide for months, rarely did I spend more than $10-15 a day. This guide caters to the low-budget traveler, offering such suggestions as getting a college dorm for $15/night, eating huge $2 BBQ dinners and seeing impressive, but free (or dirt-cheap) sights. I was also very impressed with the accuracy of the guide. Very rarely did I find misinformation, which meant I did not have to make endless calls shopping around for the cheapest place to stay or ask around for a good place to eat--it was all right there in the guide. Within all of this, the guide is enjoyable to read. I would often find myself reading sections in the guide that I had no intention of going to, just for a fun read. For anyone traveling in the US on a tight budget or not, young or old, as a rambling backpacker or with the family, Let's Go is an invaluable companion.

This guide is a great book. It offers off the beaten track places, and always includes places for the budget traveler. Seemingly geared toward the student traveler, I found it great for the young-at-heart as well.
