Welcome to our top destination and area guides. For each review, we always include the good, the bad and if it’s on our “skip list.”
This visual map below is a guide to all the activities we’ve visited or decided to skip. Each pin shares insights on how to avoid common mistakes, save time, save money or otherwise make your trip more enjoyable.
We plan our trips around “areas,” which can mean cities, national parks or key regions in a state. If you’ve never been to a state, we recommend starting with the state guide first and then drilling into the region guides.
