This book arose from my travels around the UK over the past 10 years, to gather information for a series I write for the Mail on Sunday. Though I enjoy foreign travel, there is something peculiarly appealing about the short break on home soil. You don't need to queue through immigration to visit a place which can be singularly different from your home town, city or village.I've had deeply enjoyable days away in places that are no more than an hour's drive from home. The articles here are meant to help you choose a short visit - it could be a day trip, or the classic Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon weekend - to a selection of towns and cities that I've written about. In some cases I have turned the destination into an entire county, where there isn't one obvious big place to command your interest.I hope, too, that visitors from overseas will find much here to guide them through Britain, particularly if they are looking for options beyond the well-known destinations. Although the articles are based on pieces of mine published in the Mail on Sunday, they have been revised and updated, and are drawn from my own research in each of the locations, augmented with further Internet research. This isn't intended to be a comprehensive guide. I've arranged the points of interest (well, interesting to me) under random headings. And, for each destination, I've included at least one hotel and a restaurant.

This precious little "carnet d adresses", to say it as the French, was written and illustrated by three Venetian women. Two of its authors were born in the city, the third adopted Venice heart and soul as her own. It reveals to readers the most authentic and exclusive Venice: the city that hosts shops, boutiques, restaurants and "osterie", museums, and so many other places whether they be all-time favorites or well-kept secrets of the true Venetians. And now visitors may discover these exquisitely rare and refined experiences for themselves too. Original drawings in a dynamic style lead us through the city by itineraries according to theme: we may go to an elegant boutique for a pair of "papusse" in our favorite color; make a refreshing, delicious stop at a bacaro (the typical Venetian osteria); discover all of the aromas of a roaster s rare collection of coffees; or explore the magic of ancient secret gardens that, yes, also exist in Venice, the city that was born from the sea. Slowly, with the complicity of the many fascinating Cameo and Curiosity highlights scattered throughout these pages, Venice reveals itself to readers in a new, fascinating, and decidedly chic and feminine way. My Pretty Venice is so much more than a simple guide. It is a precious object of desire, a book to enjoy page after page, something nice to give to a best girlfriend, or to pack on that solitary weekend getaway. or to share with your partner for informative idea-packed reading for the next holiday.

The well-known and off-the-beaten-path attractions in Romantic Virginia offer escapes and activities for every age, budget, and season of the year. The chapters describe the most romantic places to stay and eat; historic homes and gardens; outdoor activities from hang gliding to ice skating; historic sites and museums; musical and theatrical productions; art museums and galleries; wineries; sporting events; and festivals and fairs. Sidebars throughout the book offer dozens of suggestions for romantic getaways in 14 Virginia cities and regions. But this is not just your usual travel guide. In the chapter describing romantic places to stay, there's a sidebar that lists bed-and-breakfasts, inns, and historic homes and gardens that host weddings and receptions. In the same chapter, you can find rustic mountain lodges, old Southern plantations, colonial-era townhouses, pastel-painted Victorian mansions, and fancy city hotels. The restaurant section not only includes special places where couples can celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, or simply the fun of enjoying great food together, but also lists several old-fashioned drive-ins and soda fountains.

A different kind of travel book, See Sedona couples a guidebook with a photobook-51 photos of the places you want to see. Use this book as a day-by-day guide to fill a week or use its suggestions to explore even more of this unique area. Wendy's personal approach includes informational links and ideas that conventional guidebooks often miss. Included are directions to ease navigation and places to pick up additional information and sight-seeing tips. There are histories, descriptions, and details about the sites you will visit. Wendy answers your questions too. How did Sedona get its name? Where can you find fish-or wine-in the desert? Why did the ancient peoples abandon their homes in Tuzigoot and Palatki? Why was the "Stupid Motorist Law" necessary? Where's the best shopping in Sedona? What are some great restaurants? Where's the ideal spot to enjoy a Sedona Sunset? What's a vortex? Why should you be prepared to have many WHOA! moments As a professional photographer, Wendy packs See Sedona with photographs to pique your interest. See Sedona doubles as a memory book when you return home. Catch some of the beautiful and colorful desert flowers; get a close-up of a tarantula in his rock-wall safehouse; see the bluest sky; view the impending storm; feel awe at the oldest ruins. And marvel at the reddest rocks in Red Rock Country. Best of all, make the most of your vacation with See Sedona to guide you.

In the author's own words: "When you live in Israel, it's plain to see that food holds a special place in Jewish life. From early morning until dawn the next day, Israelis are always noshing on something and enjoying one another's company. On any given holiday, the festive table groans under the weight of a multitude of dishes and goodies. A Taste of Israel opens a door into the kitchens of the ordinary Israeli home. It is an invitation to explore the country's diverse street food and get a glimpse behind the scenes at some of its gourmet restaurants. You'll find recipes for dishes that do much more than just satisfy hunger. Here are memories and stories shared with me over the course of five years by Litvaks from Israel and South Africa, by my Israeli friends, their mothers and their grandmothers. The recipes reflect the traditions, history and customs passed from generation to generation and they are an attempt at returning a piece of Jewish heritage to the small but vibrant community in Lithuania." Available for the first time in English, A Taste of Israel describes the food through the eyes of a foreigner, and non-Jew, who was lucky enough to become part of the Israeli Jewish community. Chapters are divided into the usual arrangements for appetisers, starters, mains and desserts, but there are also sections on the different Jewish religious festivals, as well as information on what constitutes 'kosher'. Well-known classics include dishes such as Gefilte Fish, Knaidlach, Latkes and Challah.

The Texas Gulf Coast has some 3,300 miles of shoreline, including the islands, bays and river mouths. It stretches from Louisiana down to the Mexican border. Some of the best beaches in America are along the Texas coast. There is so much to offer everybody. The marshlands and wetlands around Port Arthur, close to the Louisiana border, offer fantastic opportunities for bird watchers. Here you can see many species of both local and migratory birds. Accommodation is plentiful, from budget to high end. There is bound to be something to suit all requirements from hotels to beach houses. Water sports like fishing, boating and surfing can be had. Then there is shelling, hiking or just enjoying the beach. Another popular activity is horseback riding on the beach. There are restaurants and coffee shops for you to visit. If you like Cajun food then you will be able to find several places serving it. As you move down the beach to Boliver Peninsula the beaches are a little less crowded and the pace a tiny bit slower. It is an ideal place for a stroll along the wide beaches. In May a crab festival takes place and often there are fishing tournaments. Birding is another pastime here. Many species of birds can be found, including pelicans which can be seen all along the Texas coast. They can also be found on the rivers, lakes and ponds of Texas. From Boliver you can take the ferry ride over to Galveston and spend the day there, shopping or visiting the many attractions. The ferry is free and takes about 35 minutes for the crossing. If you are lucky, you will see the many dolphins that play alongside the ferries as they cross. One of the most popular attractions in Galveston is Moody Gardens, with the Rainforest pyramid, the Aquarium pyramid and the Science pyramid. There is a large hotel, wonderful tropical gardens and beaches. Padre Island is the world's longest barrier island. The island is just one of the 300 islands stretching all the way down from Maine to Mexico. There a.

This means that each family or group member needs to choose ahead of time the specific rides, attractions, and dining options that fit their particular interests and age… and then plan accordingly.

We'll show you how to use this book-with its maps, descriptions, notations of appropriate age ranges, and tips-and various Web sites, too, as interactive tools to educate you and the kids about every aspect of every ride, attraction, and restaurant. We want everyone to make wise "I wanna" choices and enjoy collaborating to: 1. Create a "Scrapbook of Anticipations" now, which becomes a take-along picture guide to what each person anticipates: Doing each day in Disney's Hollywood Studios. Read, or allow the kids to read, the description of each ride or attraction. Look at related pictures in the book or visit Web sites listed in the Appendix for photos. Decide which rides and entertainment they want to experience. Cut out/tape the pictures of
