Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The ideal vacation planner for people who’ve “been there, done that,” this upbeat guide profiles a wealth of fascinating destinations, some of which may be well known regionally but virtually unknown nationally. In their most ambitious project to date, veteran travel writers Don and Betty Martin have selected the 250 very best hidden getaways, from Alaska to Florida and Hawaii to Maine. Undiscovered America, based on the authors’ 35 years of travel, reveals intriguing vacations in all 50 states. These include an obscure but grand vacation island on the Great Lakes; California’s best wine country (not Napa Valley!); a little-known Nevada town oozing with “cowboy cool”; and the world’s oldest Shakespeare festival, which is not in England but in Oregon. These destinations represent an irresistible mix of interesting towns, national parks and monuments, vacation regions, and driving tours that are ideal for an afternoon’s respite, a weekend getaway, or an extended visit.

I am envious of the people who got to go to all these places! I did find that I already knew of or have been to quite a few, so perhaps not as 'undiscovered' as the title suggests, but have marked spots to seek out also. Would recommend to the random traveler who wants to get off the interstate and into the real world.

If there are maps of those routes, it will be much, much, much better. Unfortunately, it has not.

Sadly the week this book was released Don Martin died doing what he loved best. He was out kayaking in the early morning, trying to sight a moose and her baby that he'd seen the day before. So no more witty reparte in travel books. Ickybod (his beloved Winnebego) has gone on his last adventure. Fortunately through this book, Don lives on.
The book has some wonderful insight into places that are secrets to everyone but the locals. If you're a car traveler, keep this in your car or RV to help you plan those wonderful little side trips that somehow seem to elicit the best memories. Each location has not only a short editorial on just what Don thought made it special, but there is also a list of places to visit while there and where to go for more information.
So while Don will be missed, his work lives on in the pages of this book. Hopefully his wife of 21 years, Betty, will continue her travels in his honor. I know that my subsequent trip will include at least one of his side trips and will be bittersweet knowing he won't be around to share my stories with.
