Planning Your Trip (getting there, getting around, accommodation tips).
A handy take-along tear out map of Florida and major tourist areas is included, but, more importantly, thirty-nine detailed maps of cities and special interest maps are also included.
Travel guides seem to fall into two distinct categories: those designed to help the potential traveler decide where to go and those designed to help plan a trip once the destination has been selected. This is a book that will aid in deciding which aspects of Florida they want to visit, how they will get there, and where they will stay and dine once they are there. It is carefully detailed (hours of operation, costs) and up to date.
And, best of all from my perspective, it does not read as though it was written from Chamber of Commerce hand-outs (a fault of all too many recent guides I've encountered). For example, in reading on Key West, the traveler is warned: "If you must get a wearable memento, be careful of unscrupulous salespeople....you are entitled to a written estimate of any T-shirt work before you pay for it."
I've checked out the areas that I'm familiar with and the information provided is valid.
This is a hefty tome at a pound twelve ounces; far too heavy to tote around while sight-seeing, however, it's a great book to use in planning a visit. If you fly, you might want to carry this one in your hand as you board.
