| One of the things I really enjoy is watching
a movie that takes place somewhere I have traveled. It is really neat to
watch a movie and be able to say, "I ate in that restaurant," or "I walked
down that street."

Saddle Up!: A Guide to Planning the Perfect Horseback Vacation - "I wrote Saddle Up to show the joys of horse travel and nature" states Ute, the author. "For over 26 years, horseback vacations have enriched my life, both privately and professionally. After riders and nonriders, kids and adults had asked me how I'd done the trips, what it had been like, I wrote S.U. to share my experience." Saddle Up is the only book of its kind, giving a comprehensive overview of the many types of riding vacations and the best places to ride in North America and abroad. Saddle Up introduces readers to world-famous natural areas and public lands, takes them along particularly noteworthy trails, describes each area's history, natural history, and wildlife, emphasizes a "Leave No Trace" philosophy, and gives a detailed list of outfitters and cowboy adventures. It's a must-have resource for nature lovers and vacation planners everywhere. Whether you are an experienced rider or unfamiliar with horses, whether you yearn for day rides, ranch vacations, rugged cowboy adventures, or lost-to-the-world treks, this book is for you.

Volunteer Vacations Guide - Volunteer vacations can cost less than going to the same location as a tourist and often provide a richer and more fulfilling experience. People who volunteer can aid a good cause and see the world. To help potential volunteers work through the maze and clutter of volunteer opportunities, the updated and expanded Volunteer Vacations Guide lists nearly 140 organizations looking for domestic and international volunteers. As before, the Volunteer Vacations Guide alerts you to the ins and outs of volunteering noting projects, length of volunteering stays, age and experience requirements, costs, goals and locations for each organization. The Volunteer Vacations Guide provides a complete picture. It also explains the advantages and negative points potential volunteers need to consider before signing on.
