My Eyes Have Been Opened,
By Robert Omer (Mission Hills, Kansas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quick Escapes St. Louis: 25 Weekend Getaways from the Gateway City (Paperback)
I have lived in Kansas City area for 15 years and had no idea there was so much too see and do here. I had heard about these attractions, but the authors really captured their character and liveliness. Seeing our city through another's eyes made us realize how much we have to offer. We also went to St. Joseph and enjoyed seeing the museums described in the book. We definitely plan on using this book for more "Escapes," especially those to the east. These authors obviously put a lot of time and work into this publication.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Cycle "escape",
By Audrey Hubbard (St. Louis, Mo.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quick Escapes St. Louis: 25 Weekend Getaways from the Gateway City (Paperback)
Want to find a great guide for an enjoyable cycling adventure on the Katy Trail across Missouri? While this "escape" is only one of many covered in Gustafson & Jarrett's "Great Escapes from St. Louis", it is worth the price of the book alone. My husband and I have enjoyed several weekend bicycle trips along the trail made more enjoyable by their recommendations for historic sites, restaurants and our favorite experience; staying in a bed & breakfast. Pick up this book if you want to plan a bike trip from beginning to end! It is enjoyable reading while you locate valuable information that takes the guess work out of your travel planning. The authors convince you to travel our part of the country and experience the fun they obviously had while researching this book.
