The Traveling Birder : 20
Five-Star Birding Vacations - Goodwin, a Toronto-based bird tour
leader and author of
A
Bird Finding Guide to Ontario (Univ. of Toronto Pr., 1982), here
profiles 20 birding ``hot spots,'' 16 of which can be found in North
America and the rest in Spain, Britain, Kenya, and Trinidad. He provides
descriptions of such birding meccas as southern Arizona, as well as lesser
known locations like Reelfoot Lake (Tennessee). Several local hotels and
restaurants are listed for each entry, as well as helpful information

insects to expect). Goodwin's colorful bird
descriptions, written in a readable style, are certain to appeal to anyone
serious enough about bird watching to spend a vacation chasing after
birds. |

Golf Vacations Even Non-Golfers
Will Enjoy: Southeastern United States -A book reviewer from Ohio
states, "If you have one or more non-golfers in the family, it's important to plan
your golf vacation for where there are things for the others to do while
you're on the course. Our family had been planning a Myrtle Beach vacation
and had found lots of "general" info on the web, but this book
speaks directly to golfers with non-golfers in the group, so it was
tremendously helpful to us. We're already planning a trip to Florida for
next summer, based on this book's recommendations." |

Yoga Vacations : A Guide
to International Yoga Retreats - More and
more people are seeking vacations that are relaxing rather than chaotic,
that help them renew their sense of health rather than keep them running
frantically from sight to sight. Yoga Vacations highlights over 100
different vacation centers and retreats for both the beginner and advanced
yoga practitioner. It includes detailed, thoughtfully written entries
providing information on teachers' styles and philosophies, recommended
levels of experience, and activities and services, as well as the basics
on accommodations, meals, and fees. The author, a 15-year yoga instructor,
makes a distinction between yoga vacations and retreats to help readers
customize their perfect getaway. Some destinations are strictly retreats -
places for quiet, in-depth yoga study - while the vacation settings listed
allow free time for nearby shopping and sightseeing. |
