Customer Reviews

Exactly what I needed!

I realized recently while trying to plan a day-trip that I had no idea where I wanted to go. Thanks to this book, I'll never have that problem again. It's organized for weekend and day trips, with tips on lodging, eating and activities. Ideas range from stuff everyone's heard of (like Starved Rock and Galena) to stuff I can't wait to explore (like a Chocolate Trail!!!!) The author also gives price ranges for lodging and restaurants. Bottom line, if you get sick and tired of the city like I do, and need to get away (if only for an afternoon), then fill up your gas tank and buy this book.
