Fodor's InFocus (ISBN 9781400008896) - no author listed
- small
- great maps
- organized by regions and features
- also organized by region
- great color-coding
- a previous reader highlighted in it!
- "best of" feature (beaches, dinners, etc.)
- great "insider" advice
- all black and white photographs (Hawaii doesn't look quite as appealing when it's not in color)
- organized differently - I like it - by history, culture, dining, lodging, etc. rather than by region of the island (West, South, Central, Upcountry, etc.)
- great descriptions of restaurants, prices, etc.
- This one is fantastic! I will either get it again from the library (waiting list) or just buy it. I may buy it on my phone ($7? on GooglePlay) so I can have it offline if/when we actually go . . . . dreaming big time!
- It is now March in MN . . . and I'm just adding to this post from 2/24. I actually have one more book on hold at the library. Apparently, I'm not the only one who wants to go!
- This book has a lot of text - probably why I like it - with great history, background info, etc. I have really enjoyed reading it and I want to keep on, but it's due back.
- Page 210 has a list of places you can go sailing with (thinking of Louie here). Page 22 has things you must pack. There's a pronunciation guide . . . so much!
- In addition to all the text, there are the usual recommendations for where to stay, eat, go, etc.
- I love this book!
- The two pages in the preface with the info on difficulty, length, uses, terrain, etc. - very handy! I love that one of the icons is for lava flows . . .
- I think Haleakala National Park will be a must-do.
- I'm not a die-hard enough hiker to have this title be super important to me. It would definitely be a win for people who love to do lots of hiking.
