I gave this to my son-in-law. He and my daughter get a number of incredible trips each year through his work. There are always other company people on these trips, which they still enjoy. I did include a note with this book, though, that this was to help them plan an incredible trip just for the two of them. They seemed to love that idea. Would recommend this book. It is beautiful and informative.

Learning to love our country!

Did not dislike it, it make a beautiful present for Christmas and the person I gave it picks it up every week and reads about the picture he is looking at. It has fantastic pictures in it, places that all of us would like to see in person, my friend who I gave it to will never be able to see these places because of his heart condition, COPD, and diabetes, but he enjoys this book so much.
