5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended by Reader's Digest, June 2, 2003

By

Leonard (Long Beach, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: You Are Here Traveling with JohnnyJet.com: The Ultimate Internet Travel Guide (4) (Paperback)

I saw this book in the Reader's Digest this month and ordered it since I travel a lot for business and occasionally to take a vacation. When I got it, I was like "Wow this book is amazing!" I didn't know about JohnnyJet before, but now I can definitely say Reader's Digest picked a winner. What makes this book so great is that it covers everything travel and other stuff I would never have known about without referring to it. This thick book reviews over 3,000 travel Web sites, and not just any sites, but the ones you really need as a traveler. I also found it very useful because it virtually covers every country that you'd ever want to see, has information on saving when traveling domestically or internationally, some very helpful tips that I never even thought of, and more than just where to find money saving travel bargains, but some strategies that I found helpful when bidding and researching the different travel providers. Overall I believe any traveler will like this book, that covers it all. It's something that I'd highly recommend getting, even if you travel a few times out of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Resource for Travelers, April 15, 2004

By

Rebecca Johnson "The Rebecca Review" (Washington State) - See all my reviews
(COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: You Are Here Traveling with JohnnyJet.com: The Ultimate Internet Travel Guide (4) (Paperback)

Whether you are surfing about online dreaming about your next vacation or seriously planning your next adventure, "You are Here" is the ultimate online travel portal.

Features:

More than 3,000 carefully researched Websites
Money saving travel bargains
Travel tips that make a difference
34 chapters filled with amazing information

Some of the main chapters:

Steals and Deals on Fares
Lodging
Airport Information
Food on the Road
Traveling with the Family
Seniors: Traveling in the Golden Years
Student Travel
25 Things to Do and See (Everything from Haunted Tours to the London Theatre)
Pets Can Travel Too

You are Here: Traveling with JohnnyJet dot com is encyclopedic and perhaps the most comprehensive book I've seen on online travel resources. If you travel, you need this book.

John E. DiScala's research will make your travel research easier and when you are actually traveling, you can visit the website. When you visit the site you can look up information with the "Jet Codes." For example: Johnny Jet Code: Boat Rides. You will then find links to various sites and can quickly click through and find the information you need. It was super fast and much easier than trying to look up boat rides in a regular search engine. Just look for the Code Index in this book. The regular index is also quite helpful.

So, whether you need a free language translator or want to avoid the world's most dangerous places, it is all here.

Eric Leebow is the founder of Yahbooks Publishing and is the author of various other You Are Here books. John E. DiScala, AKA Johnny Jet is a travel expert and the founder of the travel portal Johnny Jet dot com. He is known for his weekly newsletter and site and from what I can see he is passionate about traveling.
