Book Reviews of How to Travel Practically Anywhere

Book Review: Expert Advice for Every Situation
Summary: 5 Stars

This is by far the best book I have read about travel. It covers all phases, from transportation to lodging, from preplanning to on-site emergencies, I doubt you'll find a situation this book doesn't cover. It is encyclopedic in its scope, incorporating the latest websites and an evaluation of their content and relevance to your needs. The book is well laid out, and the explanations simple, comprehensive and readable. For example, I finally understand all the different car rental insurance coverages they always push and you wonder if you'd really need. She even evaluates the travel guides so you know their strengths and weaknesses, which I think are spot on.

I have never taken a cruise, but after reading that section, I feel like I know everything I need to do to book a memorable experience. I would say this book is indispensible for planning a trip. Even if you've done a bit of traveling, you'll likely find some things you never knew. I would bring this book along with me on my next trip, esp. overseas. If you are planning to travel, this will be one of the best investments you'll ever make.
