1 Big disappointment - better lists elsewhere
Lots of other pet travel books have lists of hotels and motels that accept pets, but without much description. I hoped this book would provide narrative descriptions of great vacations possibilities with my dog, but, apart from a section on "Dog Camps", was only another (and not very good) listing of accommodations that accept dogs. For that, the AAA Book is better. How about a book that features the BEST places that cater to dogs and their owners (e.g. with special pet services, doggy 'day care', dog runs) rather than just tolerate them. I'd love a book with 50 or 100 great places that cater, with descriptions and reviews, rather than another list of places that accept dogs. Besides this, its just poorly printed. Save your money.
2 Save Your Money
I purchased this book and a few other pet travel guides at the same time. I ended up returning this book. The wording on the pages resemble a kidnapper's ransom note. There are better ones out there.

Quote of the Day:


Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.

Back in the early 60's, touch tone phones only had 10 buttons. Some
military versions had 16, while the 12 button jobs were used only by people
who had "diva" (digital inquiry, voice answerback) systems -- mainly banks.
Since in those days, only Western Electric made "data sets" (modems) the
problems of terminology were all Bell System. We used to struggle with
written descriptions of dial pads that were unfamiliar to most people
(most phones were rotary then.) Partly in jest, some AT&T engineering
types (there was no marketing in the good old days, which is why they were
the good old days) made up the term "octalthorpe" (note spelling) to denote
the "pound sign." Presumably because it has 8 points sticking out. It
never really caught on.
