This guide has the scoop on all things Southern, from where to eat spicy Cajun food to finding hidden antique treasures--all from an insider's perspective. The book covers roughly 7 states and 12 major cities, opening with history on the South, unique itineraries (Family Fun Tour, Civil War Buff's Tour), and information on climate, cost, and culture. It then launches into extensive descriptions of major cities and areas of interest including the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Georgia's Golden Isles. In addition to all of the advice on food, lodging, camping, and sightseeing, there's an abundance of maps and a sights rating system so travelers can plan their time accordingly. The authors also include scenic drives and recreational activities for those interested in the outdoors. Whether looking to hear the great jazz of New Orleans or visit Martin Luther King Jr.'s tomb in Atlanta, visitors will find Deep South Travel-Smart an excellent resource for those in need of Southern hospitality. --Karen Karleski This description may be from another edition of this product.
