Most travelers go away for two weeks or less, so why is it that every major travel publisher offers huge books where 90% of the content ? like the human brain ? goes unused? Open Road has the solution, the perfect travel guide, because we now offer a choice consumers have not had before: a guide that actually gives readers the content they need for the trip they want! Readers can flip through the book and go to the section that matches how much time they have budgeted, and then go right to that section and see our expert trip ideas. They will also see at a glance which hotels and restaurants are best for them, where the happening nightlife is, the best sports and recreation, and where the most authentic, local shopping can be found. <P>"Open Road's Best of Belize" gives readers a small number of great choices and itineraries for one-day, weekend, one-week and two-week trips trips to whatever part of Belize they're visiting. Only the best is included, with great ideas for ecotouring in the interior Maya Mountains and Mountain Pine Ridge, exploring the wilds in the Crooked Tree sanctuary, and hanging out for some serious R&R along the beautiful beaches and resorts of the Placencia Peninsula. We combine different kinds of trips for our readers, based on the amount of time they have, such as a beaches-and-spas week, a diving/snorkeling trip in the offshore Cayes (boasting the longest barrier reef in the hemisphere), a fishing weekend option, an ancient ruins plan (including an alternative to hit the ruins by bike for the athletically inclined!), and much more.<P>Best of all, we don't weigh readers down with tons of useless information ? we cut to the chase and give readers shortdescriptions of the best Belize has to offer.
