Call me “old school” – you wouldn’t be the first – but I love researching destinations with travel guides. Actual books that you can hold in your hands, thumbing back and forth between the chapters on food, hotels, shopping…and back to food. I love their portability for those times when I’m waiting for my offspring at the dance studio/orthodontist/guitar lesson.
Do you use travel guides? Would you like to win one? Might be a nice holiday gift for someone, if you’re willing to give it away!
Michelin Travel and Lifestyle just sent me a collection of guides, and I’m already leafing through USA East, dreaming about our next road trip. They’ve offered to give five GBOGH readers the Michelin Guide of their choice from among these:
USA East
USA West
New York
The Yellowstone Park Foundation’s Official Guide to Yellowstone National Park
Like a Local New Orleans (Peter Greenberg is the Chief Contributing Editor of this series)
Each guide offers detailed maps, suggested driving tours, full-color photos, illustrations and plenty of new content covering shopping, hotels, attractions, landmarks and neighborhoods. And of course, food! Common among them is Michelin’s famed star-rating system. Why I like them: they’re compact, and can be easily carried with you while you travel. Plus, they contain GBOGH-approved sites like Gatorland in Orlando, the Mapparium in Boston, and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh.
Enter by telling us in the comments below which guide you would like to win. And I would be very curious to know why you chose it…just because I’m nosy.
