Our initial focus for adding destinations to PlacesToDiscover.com will be on the West Coast of the United States, but with a few national and international adventures tossed into the mix. Periodically, we'll include short reviews of restaurants, hotels, campgrounds and maybe even equipment that we as travelers find useful, such as GPS units for vehicles and digital cameras for documenting your trips.

We're Always Looking for New Places to Discover
Our world is a
dynamic place. At
PlacesToDiscover.com
we share with you, our fellow travelers, the places we visit each year as we research and write our new travel
books and stories. Our travel writing focus, like most
of our travel books, such as
Best of California's Missions, Mansions and Museums,
will be about the history and cultures of our many destinations. But we are
also outdoor enthusiasts with many years of experience traveling through
hundreds of our state and national parks--and working for a couple of
decades in California's beautiful state parks.
We will be adding new
destinations, when we aren't too busy traveling. And we travel
quite a bit. Our most recent travel destinations include Costa Rica, Vietnam,
New England, Southern
California, including San Diego and Anza Borrego Desert, St. Louis, Phoenix,
Las Vegas and Utah. We've also returned to Oregon and Washington a few
times to complete the research for our newest travel book due out in
fall 2009--Best of
Oregon and Washington's Mansions, Museums and More.
And, we have visited more than 100 California Sierra foothill
wineries interviewing wine makers and winery owners for another book
scheduled for publication in fall 2009. Travel plans in the works
include Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, all
five Great Lakes and their bordering states, and Toronto.
