My New Hobby

My new hobby is scanning this book from cover to cover highlighting all of the wonderful inns I'm going to visit. This is a delightful book of very reasonably priced inns in the US and Canada. Every entry provides unusual information about the inns, mouth-watering breakfasts offered and local attractions. This book is well worth the money and is easily one of the best (if not the best) travel books I've ever purchased. I've highlighted over 20 inns to visit and I'm not even halfway through the book.

A highly recommended travel planning aid.

This updated seventh edition offers an easy-to-use format detailing more than two thousand historic lodgings in all fifty states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. State maps locate each inn and B & B, as well as a special "Inns of Interest" index helping travellers to select an itinerary that suits their particular interests. A highly recommended travel planning aid.
