I LOVED this book. As an experienced traveler and the "Middle Seat Columnist" for the Wall Street Journal, Scott McCartney knows his stuff about the travel world. He covers everything from deciding where and how to travel, to explaining the secrets and strategies of airlines and hotels. This guide is a must read for anyone who wants to travel better.
