Editorial Review:

A guide for families and outdoor adventurers alike, Maui Trailblazer 2006 covers all of the island, and includes day trips to the neighboring islands of Molokai, Lanai, and Molokini.

Clear directions and concise descriptions lead to all of Maui's well-known attractions, as well as to hidden discoveries that Trailblazer readers have come to expect.

137 different hikes and strolls to tropical rain forests and remote valleys, coastal bluffs and lava caves, Haleakala crater and the Hana Highway, cascading waterfalls, beaches, ridgetops, towns, whale-watching perches, historic sites, and archeological ruins.

Among the 44 snorkeling spots are hike-to coves and the secret places that tour boats go.

Kayakers can pick from about 20 put-ins.

Surfers can select from 38 beaches and decide whether to boogie, board, or body surf. Onlookers will find the best places to watch the surfers, windsurfers and kite-boarders ride the big ones.

The text is complimented by 10 maps and 240 photographs. Driving tours-nine of them-take readers to all the attractions, natural wonders, and historic sites.

A Resource Links section provides numbers for free visitor information and recreational outfitters, as well as hand-picked accommodations and local restaurants to suit every budget and taste bud.

A Best Of section lets you pick the right activity to suit your mood and the day. Appendices include free hula shows, farmer's markets, what to pack, climate, history, fauna, and a Hawaiian glossary.

This new and completely revised second edition for 2006 includes a Trailblazer Kids section for adventuring families.

Fun to have 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

My family have passes to Disneyland and we're there often enough. I have heard about the Hidden Mickeys and have found some on my own. When they had the 50 Mickeys for their anniversary my young sons had a ton of fun looking for and finding them. It's a lot of fun for those of you with young children who love scavenger hunts! It's a way to pass the time while waiting for rides or walking around.
I highly recommend the web site that goes with the book as there are many more that are not listed in the book. But it's a great "beginner" book to the whole Hidden Mickey thing and is great if you're only there for the day.
It's definitely worth picking up!

Editorial Review:

Camouflaged images of Mickey Mouse are hidden around the Disney theme parks and resorts worldwide-just waiting to delight the visitors who spot them. Searching for them adds extra fun to any visit and has become something of a mission for many Disney fans. At their request, Barrett, whose Hidden Mickeys field guide has been helping Disney World visitors hunt these elusive characters since 2003, now offers equal sleuthing aid to Disneyland visitors.

Love the trivia! 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Being a big Disney fan, we've usually purchased the Disney Days calendar but when I saw this one, I thought we'd give it a try since we'd probably enjoy our calendar more with a daily dose of trivia. We do own Louis' two trivia books which we really enjoy. (The Disney Days calendar has some trivia but not much.) Now that this has arrived, it's fun to have the daily trivia - some of it I already know, some is new. My only negative - the calendar could really use some color!

Editorial Review:

Like the author's popular Walt Disney World Trivia Books books, this fun-filled page-a-day calendar serves up a treasure trove of Disney secrets, fun facts, and fascinating history, along with quizzes, puzzles, and games. Even die-hard Disney buffs are sure to learn something new. Fun for any trivia lover who enjoys Disney, it's also a great way to count down the days till that next trip to Disney World.

I like Historical Diaries But This One Is Especially Meaningful 4 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

It's often said in tones of this-is-true-but-it's-also-heresy that Rose Wilder Lane, daughter of Laura and Almanzo Wilder, is the real unsung heroine in the Little House books, because while she let her mother have credit for the famous series, it was Rose, via her careful, invisible editing and re-writes, that turned cheery memoirs into beloved classics. I suspect that's true, but in the case of this book, it is beyond all doubt what happened. Rose took her mother's raw diary and prepared it for publication, and the product is the book On The Way Home, which tells of the journey Rose and her parents made in 1894, from DeSmet, South Dakota, setting for the final half of the Little House books, to the Ozark country, where the family would spend the next sixty years. The description is unsentimental, not glamorized (as it tends to be--for the sake of betterment--in the other books) and it paints a portrait of the difficult traveler's life on the by-then crowded prairie overrun with east-central European immigrants, many of whom being exactly the type portrayed in novels such as My Antonia. The Wilder family completes its draining re-location by covered wagon and arrives in Missouri, a state so much a promised land to them that a reader cannot help but share their relief when they safely arrive.

Editorial Review:

The diary kept by the author of Little House on the Prairie during her family's journey from South Dakota to Missouri describes the sights and events that they encounter along the frontier during their trip. Reissue.

LACKS OF DETAILED STREET NAMES 2 out of 5 stars.
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I use this book occasionally, but it is lacks the detailed for use by itself. Where I do use it is with mapquest, that tends to not show the smaller lakes, but the Gazetteer does a much better job.

Florida Atlas and Gazetteer 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Easy to read and use, invaluable when traveling in city or hiking in rural areas. Very detailed, provides names of area sites that are interesting to stop by, which are not included on road maps.
