Great ideas for new travelers
This book has some neat ideas for things to do and see throughout the USA! We forget how beautiful it is here in the states and how different the states are, just helps you pick some travel destinations and get started on travel planning.

Great Photos but…
Each state has it’s own description, and it works that it’s in alphabetical order, but I there are two things that could have been done a bit better. First, the list of things to see are in paragraph form. I would have liked bulleted items with individual descriptions separated out in some sort of geographical order. For example, in California, San Francisco and Los Angeles both have highlights… but they are 7 hours apart and you wouldn’t know that from the descriptions. The states on the east coast all have highlights, but they are so much closer together and can’t be compared to some of the larger states. Which brings me to my second issue: there are no maps! Not a single one. Not even a map of the US, which should go without saying. Each state should have a map with a distance scale and the points of interest clearly defined. The book is beautiful to look at (on a coffee table) but for actual planning my retirement dreams, it fell short.

I bought this for a gf.
It was her birthday she loves to travel. He husband and her came out to visit us on one of their trips in their RV. I asked her by text if it was any good. She texted me back saying it was amazing. She was up all night highlighting and reading it. So I turned around and bought me one. I havenât time to read mine but I take her word on how great this book is.

Bought this book to help with holiday planning of an epic road trip.Lots of good information about each state, highlights key cities and towns with points of interest.The only downside is that it doesn’t help with when to go to these states.Bit dissatisfied that it claims to tell you this on the cover, but doesn’t follow through on the inside…
