Rough Guide
Thailand's beaches & Islands The travel book is great! The section on BKK is
also very helpful as almost anyone coming/going to Southern Thailand
passes through.The book is small and much more convenient than the
larger country wide or SE Asia guide books. If you are just going
to Southern Thailand.. this is all you need. The format is clear.
The prices were a tad off, but this seems to be the norm with guidebooks (search for

Japan (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
This is sort of a "Japan! Wow!" type of guide, full of eye-popping
graphics and catchy factoids. It is a very fun guide, and does a great
job of engaging enthusiasm for Japan and its wonders. Nothing off
the beaten path here, only the major attractions of each city/region
are represented. It is wide but not deep. Pricing information and
such is well done, and gives an accurate picture of what to expect.
Tidbits of culture and history help explain what you will be seeing
and make for interesting overall reading. (search for

Rough Guide: Vietnam Just came back from a three week trip to Vietnam
with three books: the Lonely Planet, the Rough Guide, and Footprint
Handbook. The Rough Guide is the best guidebook around for the
country. It is superior to the Lonely Planet guide in the breadth
and depth of coverage and especially its accuracy. I liked LP for
other countries but here they did a very poor job. I have not found
even one instance where Lonely Planet provided information that Rough
did not have. (search for

Travel Alarm Clock We've not missed a tour or a meal with the help
of this reliable little travel alarm clock. If getting up is difficult
due to jet lag or a too late night, it even offers an extra 8 minutes
with a snooze alarm. Space is always a factor when on the go, which
is another plus for this clock. It's about 3" by 2", And,
for a small clock it has a get-up-and-go alarm that will awake anyone.
It runs on two AAA batteries, and is easily switched between time
zones. We're well pleased with its reliability.
