Hello MidAtlantic Readers, Can you believe it's mid-July already? We're in the thick of travel season and if you haven't taken a vacation yet, now's the time to zero in on end-of-season travel deals before it's too late. On a recent trip to Boston, I had the opportunity to test out a few new travel resources. The first were two series of travel guides. I'm giving my endorsement to one book only: Fodor's. Check out my review article for more details about why I'll always look to Fodor's first when I travel, and why you should, too. I also give you tips on choosing the best travel book to take along with you on your next trip. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art48145.asp How many of you are ready for MidAtlantic USA's very first book club forum? I hope you've all been able to get a copy of Educating Alice. It's a good, fast read. Visit the MidAtlantic USA website for my review. Also check out the Random House and biography links for Alice Steinbach below the article, too. Happy Travels!
