More Info

Inspirational and packed with valuable info !!

This book was a very inspiring book to read, as well as full of great information (seems like it's about 2/3 reference and 1/3 inspirational). Most travel books I've read cover where to go, what to see and what to do in your particular destination. Quest covers so much about what you need to know before you go on a trip, including how to get the best deals on plane tickets and even free accomodations in countries all over the world. Has tons of practical info you need to, like info on health & insurance, passports, world wide weather for every month in all major destinations, flight times and distances, U.S. Embassy locations & phone numbers and Foreign Entrance requirements, etc. I think this book is in a class by itself, being that it seems to have everything you need to know before you go.

Bad Book...Use the Yellow Pages

There are much better books out there. This one did not seem to have any concept of organization. I could find most of this information out with a little work in the yellow pages travel section. The "quest" here should be to find a better book. Should not be difficult.
