Things To Do And Places To Go, Feb 9 2006
By Chris Luallen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet Bluelist 06-07 1st Ed.: 618 Things to Do and Places to Go 06 07 (Paperback)
This is actually two books in one. The first 97 pages is called "Things To Do" and contains top ten lists on various themes, such as "Best Places To See Wildlife" and "Best Beaches To Swing A Hammock". The lists make for a breezy and entertaining read. It's fun to find yourself either agreeing or disagreeing with the lists provided. I did discover some interesting new destinations. But most places I already knew about and nothing really popped out at me as an extraordinary new discovery. The second part of the book, over 200 pages, is called "Places To Go" and contains three page descriptions of various countries throughout the world deemed to be worthy of the "bluelist" of best places to travel this year. I found this part of the book most useful and interesting, as it can serve as both a basic reference guide to the countries covered as well as an introduction to countries the reader is less familiar with.I can't quite give this book "5 stars" as none of the book's travel recommendations really blew me away. But it is a pleasant read and might be useful to the curious person seeking out new travel ideas.

Pretty & Glossy Advertisement for Lonely Planet Series, Jan 29 2006
By Donald W. Stein - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lonely Planet Bluelist 06-07 1st Ed.: 618 Things to Do and Places to Go 06 07 (Paperback)
Nicely designed travel book. It's better than 1000 Places to See Before you Die. Interesting lists and nice layout. Pictures are from the Lonely Planet guides so it reads a little like an advertisement for the whole Lonely Planet series.
