Lonely Planet's Best Ever Travel Tips may not be for the most seasoned of travellers. If you think you have travelled a lot and learned a lot about travelling, you might want to pass. However, if you are not an experienced traveller or if you want to make sure you have learned as many secrets as you can, this little book is a tiny gem. For a couple of dollars you can take advantage of the wealth of experience the experts at Lonely Planet have gathered together to help you make the best of your trip.

The Essential Little Cruise Book
Here is another little travel tips book that is packed with expert advice. I love this book, The Essential Little Cruise Book: Expert Advice for Planning and Enjoying a Perfect Vacation at Sea by Jim West. It provides plenty of hints that will be relevant to any cruise vacation. It also provides a wonderful list of top 10 recommended shore excursions and do-not-miss sights for cruise tours in each of the different geographical areas that people cruise in. It won't replace a big cruise guide but it is extremely practical for providing hints about onboard life and at under $5 or just over $5 for your Kindle, it is quite affordable. It offers insight into how to handle different situations on a cruise ship that you do not usually find in the other cruise books.

How To Choose A Cruise in Europe
Once you have decided to go on a cruise, you would think the sailing would be smooth. However, in today's cruising world there are so many choices to be made...that the choice can be overwhelming. This page is designed to help you choose a cruise...
Excellent travel book recommendations Brenda! I do think even the most seasoned travelers could use some reminders every now and then. Sometimes we forget the simplest of things because we aren't checking a checklist or reference. We think we will remember everything and that simply is not true. Thank you for sharing these book recommendations. I have actually never read either of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your recommendations. I am always looking for good tips for traveling.
ReplyDeleteExcellent suggestions and book reviews! We don't travel much and definitely did benefit from reading a simple little cruise tips book (similar to the one you've recommended here) before we took our first cruise a couple of years ago. It's those simple tips, the ones that should be most obvious but aren't if you don't travel much, that really came in handy. Both of these books sound like perfect choices. Thanks, Brenda!
ReplyDeleteThey both sound like something I need since I'm going traveling again in a couple of months. We love traveling in Europe in the Winter. No crowds to deal with. And I can add some more travel tips to my travel blog this way.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to check out travel tips before taking trips. And I love the idea of the Aquapac for protecting your valuables at the beach. I didn't even know there was such a thing, but it certainly would come in handy!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to remember this book - sounds like a must have when travelling
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies & for those of you who travel, happy trails!
ReplyDeleteThose sound like very useful books to have on hand before taking a trip. The Aquapac also looks like an essential for the beach.
