 Rating: - early birdsA special hotel/flight deal came up on Expedia that we couldn't pass up. We saw all of the Big Island in 7 days with this Trailblazer guide leading us from amazing site, to awesome stretches of beach and way up to the top of Mauna Kea. We liked the good driving directions following the highway milepost markers. Their freebie tips and Best Of lists were also appreciated. I'd say if you're flying this far, adding a handy guide like this to show you around is a slamdunk. Amazon carries it for the lowest price and it only took 3 days to reach us. Rating: - Totally worth it, recommend wholeheartedlyThis guide gave our vacation itinerary a real boost. It has wonderful timeless images of places and people which simply exude calm, chill, beach culture latitude attitudes. Photography is top notch and the information is partioned into sections so you can chew off each piece to explore at your leisure depending on how much time you've allowed for your vacation. Trailblazers do it good. Rating: - We enjoyed the Big Island Trailblazer.Two years ago we took a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. Unfortunately we were in port too short a time and only went on a few packaged bus tours. We returned to the island we liked the best (the Big Island) last month and fortunately had the Trailblazer along as our prime guide. We hiked to and swam in the Blue Lagoon which is on the cover: the highpoint of our vacation. In the back of the book are hotel and restaurant suggestions from which we made our reservations and were quite pleased. For accuracy and good practical advice it's right on target. |
