Best Books To Buy Before You Drive

By Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady

As security gets tighter and airfares get more expensive, the old-fashioned road trip is once again more inviting. Pack all your stuff in the trunk and hit the road. Go whenever you want, and return when you are ready. Be spontaneous and enjoy the moment.

But you will enjoy it more if you are prepared. Be sure to get good road maps, and a few guidebooks to help you along the way. Here are a few especially helpful guides:
