DK Eyewitness Travel Books

Draw nigh along with me and explore my stomping grounds with Pacific Northwest (Eyewitness Travel Guides). I'm from Texas originally (but we don't poverty to talk about that) and moved to the Northwest getting close to 10 years ago now. When I arrived here I knew I would never want to desist. First of all, it was green. It was cool. Queen Anne's Lace grows here. And the coastline is GORGEOUS! I'm still exploring the field, having been quite occupied by work, then meeting and marrying my husband and then starting a family. Although my husband grew up here, there are many places that he has not seen either and so we've been prepossessing mini vacations around the Northwest, getting to know it a little bit better.

I thought I'd check out DK's Bystander Travel book for this region to see if it had any helpful hints or tips to offer. I'd never looked into one before and now I heartily endorse that if you are traveling to a new area, you pick up one of these travel guides and give it a whirl. First of all, it starts out by giving you a history of the area so that you aren't walking about unlearned of the land, it's culture or the people. (And yes, the Northwest does have its own culture!) The book then divides up into smaller regions, providing a map and highlighting points of interest. You can use this govern as a "tip" book, looking up interesting places or things to visit. Or you can really get into it and read about the zone and get to know it. Basically you can use this book as much or as little as you like but it should be useful to you either which way.
