Most colleges have their Spring Break coming up (!!) and if you're like me, buried in car payments and online shopping bills, then you also had to pass on a tropical beach vacation. While my friends are off sunning themselves silly, I'm working at my school, touring prospective students. I'm not complaining, but I have spent a good amount of time daydreaming and planning my next wonderful trip. So, of course, I need a travel guide to assist me!

Since I have been thinking about a Greek Island vacation, "500 Extraordinary Islands" seemed like a great option. This book gives "beach read" a whole new meaning.

This review is from: Frommer's 500 Extraordinary Islands (500 Places) (Paperback)
I bought this book on a whim - the cover page sucked me in right away.
It's a great book just to look through and daydream. If you're planning a trip to any
of these places, I'm sure it'll be perfect.
