In college I did a lot of backpack traveling and always took Let's Go. Although my budget isn't as tight these days I still wanted to have it for our Hawaii trip. It has a lot of useful information and is definately worth the cost of the book. There are things I would have surely missed without it. On the flip side, Let's Go is designed for the youthful, free spirited traveler on a budget, so keep this in mind when endeavoring out on a hike marked by the book as "challenging." Make sure you are in good shape. Also, if you have a little extra money to spend, just hit a brochure stand for bundles of extra attractions and you might want a mapbook. The maps in Let's Go are good for some locales, but you might want an atlas or GPS for others.
A necessity
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
In the past we have used the Let's Go series of books for a trip to Europe. All of the places we stayed at were recommended by the book and were economical, clean, and friendly. The Let's Go books also provide sample travel itineraries, unbiased and realistic descriptions of restaurants, nightclubs, and accomodations. It's a great way to help you plan a vacations that is tailored specifically to your own tastes. I would recommend any book from this series to anyone, no matter what your reason for travelling may be.

helped us find the best (and no so expensive) sites on oahu and kauaii. generally very good restaurant/food recommendations, though sometimes a little off on the beaches. i would recommend this to anyone travelling to hawaii on a budget.
