More About the Author

I've been so lucky through the years to write about the topics I enjoy: travel, food, and, now, dogs. Along with my husband, John Bigley, I've written 28 books on Caribbean travel, Texas travel, romantic travel, food-related travel, and, most lately, dogs. Ten years ago, we launched Lovetripper.com about romantic travel and destinations weddings. In 2008, the same year we adopted two young dogs, we started DogTipper.com to help dog lovers in all aspects of their life with Fido.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun way to plan a one day or weekend vacation!, July 22, 1998

I really enjoyed using Day Trips from San Antonio and Austin to plan several recent weekend excursions. I found the book very helpful and used it to plan a trip to Corpus Christi and another to the Hill Country. Even though I have lived in this area for over 20 years, I found many hidden treasures thanks to this guide!

I love this book -- it's a great inspiration to travel in my own backyard. Too often we spend our weekends running errands, doing the laundry, cleaning house, etc. Do yourself a favor -- next weekend pick a chapter from this book and go somewhere! Each itinerary is easily done in a day. The maps are helpful and the descriptions of each location include some historical flavor. Instead of speeding through small towns on your way to somewhere else, you get a chance to explore for hidden gems. Even the smallest towns have an antique shop, BBQ joint, or interesting historical site that's worth a stop. Happy trails!

My Husband and I visited Houston, San Antonio & Austin, we only had a couple of weeks in which to fit in as much as we could. This book was a brilliant way to get the most from a short time. It helped us to enjoy our visit to the full. We hope to visit more of the USA and shall certainly use this type of book again.
