SUMMER VACATIONS

It won't be long until school is out for the summer, and it's time to plan for vacations.  Whether you're planning a grand European tour or staying close to home, there are plenty of travel books and DVDs to help make your vacation more enjoyable.  Some advance planning can make the difference between a wonderful, memorable vacation and a miserable time that you'd like to forget.

Do you enjoy camping and hiking, or would you rather lie under palm trees on a tropical beach with a cool drink and a good book?  Maybe you enjoy sightseeing and visiting historical sights and museums.  Do you prefer big cities or quiet times in the country?

Is a trip to Walt Disney World in your future?  Please join us for a program given by Susan Sloate, "Maximum Magic at Walt Disney World."  Susan is a local author and has been to Walt Disney World numerous times and would like to share what she has learned about hotels, dining, best times to visit, and how to avoid long lines. She will give many special tips to help make your visit a trip to remember. The program will be held in the auditorium on Saturday, May 11, at 1:00 p.m.  Registration is not required, but if you have any questions, please contact us at 843-849-6161. 

Here are just a few of the travel books in our collection:

Guide to National Parks in the United States published by National Geographic Society is a very detailed book that has very useful information about camping, hiking, lodging, restaurants, wildlife, and just about anything else you could possibly imagine.  There are many maps and color photos.





If you dislike riding for hours on Interstate Highways, a book by Jamie Jensen is for you.  Road trip USA: Cross-country adventures on America's two-lane highways will show you multiple vacations choices while avoiding the Interstate.





       We have a wonderful series DK Eyewitness Travel.  This is one of the best series I've seen. It includes color photos, detailed maps, and information on sights, lodging, and dining.  Some of the titles in the series are Southwest USA and Las Vegas, New England, New Orleans, Singapore, Italy, Egypt and Back Roads Ireland. 




We also have Frommer's and Fodor's guides and books and DVDs by Rick Steves, the very popular PBS host. 

Don't forget to check our website to find travel books and DVDs for your vacation or call us at 843-849-6161.

Thanks for reading!
