Good idea, but badly needs a new edition December 30, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The book contains information on a large number of types of "adventure" you might have on a vacation, including some non-typical things like train tours and ballooning. There is very brief information on a number of suppliers of each type of adventure. The commentary provided on each is brief and to the point. I found two problems, one of which was very important--The book is rather dated. It was published in 1995. As a result, there's not even a hint of the internet in it. Also, I suspect some of the suppliers are out of business, or at least have moved on to new address/phone numbers. The other problem is that it is organized by activity. So it is easy to find providers of llama hiking tours (there really is such a thing!) in several states. But if you are going to be in Poughkeepsie for several days, and want to know about adventurous things to do there, the only way to find out is to go through each category of adventure looking for references to Poughkeepsie. I'd wait for an updated edition--And I hope there is such an edition, this is a fine idea.
