Well rounded primer for your vacation

I have been using this book to plan my wedding in the Pocono Mountains. It has helped me to find a lot of interesting places for my guests to stay and see as well as help me to locate a reception site. Some of the weblink info is incorrect and/or not up to date and is the primary reason I did not give the book 5 stars. I would have an expandable map as well. One thing that I will tell you about the Poconos that the authors don't mention is that the overall cost to vacation in the Poconos is surprising less than you would think. In fact, in researching potential wedding sites I have been finding packages for 5 hour wedding ceremonies (not inclusive of alcohol and site fees) around 40-60 dollars per person. This is unheard of in the Northeast. Additionally, hotels and lodging are either on par or less than what you find in other NE areas. One bad thing I have encountered in researching the Poconos is that many of the places to eat/drink/stay are woefully behind the times technologically speaking. Very few websites exist considering the amount places you could go and also many of these places do not have internet capability for the business traveller. Then again, the Poconos are typically where you go to get away from the rush of city life. The culture is very laid back and the people are among the nicest you could hope to meet. Definitely worth purchasing in conjuction with a map if you are serious about finding the best the area has to offer.
