This book was recommended by a friend. It offers detailed information for anyone considering (or needing) a few days or just a few hours at a retreat, monastery, or unique spiritual place. The book includes photos and directions plus practical information (over 50 places in Florida, Georgia, Sout Carolina, and Alabama).

I live in Florida and found this volume highly informative. It contains a series of clear and understandable descriptions of retreat sites, their congregations and what the visitor should expect to do and see. The sites are taken from different religions, so there should be something for almost anyone looking to learn and reflect. This is not an "average vacation"-- the reader is politely reminded by author Herreros that the sites are the residences of spiritual devotees such as monks or nuns. One should take time to observe the same customs as those who live there. If you honor the traditional courtesies, you will find the people to be respectful and friendly in return. If you want to add some peace and a bit deeper meaning to your travels, this is a good book with which to start.
