My favorite travel book!

My beloved copy of this book is now tattered with use and full of sticky notes and hi-lighter marks. I really enjoy taking short trips around the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area instead of getting on a plane or driving long distances. There is so much to do around here, why go anywhere else?My husband and I trade off years for who gets to plan our wedding anniversary trip. I have planned three great anniversaries using this book. (Lower Napa Valley, Sonoma Coastline, and Old Sacramento.) All I had to do was photocopy the "Quick Escape" I wanted to take from the book, write a few notes in the margins and I was ready to go. All the places to stay, places to eat and things to do were already outlined for me. The author even notes quaint little towns or scenic vistas along the way that we might have missed otherwise.Other travel guides give you a categorized list of activities, restaurants, hotels etc. but you still have to figure out how to put it all together for a vacation. With this book, I could quickly and easily plan a romantic and fun vacation with very little imagination or research required. And I get to take all the credit! :-) If you live in the San Francisco area and want a great guide for weekend trips, this book will become your best friend.
