AAA books are useful. But i find that their restaurant recommendation
are too "safe". I mean, i understand that they are intended to be
that way, so i don't fault them for that. But i'm looking for
something more "interesting". So my books were no help to me on my
trip home from Pennsic.
*IF* i have a car next year (the city of Oakland is hinting that they
might go bankrupt, like the nearby city of Vallejo, so may not pay me
anything), and *IF* i go to Pennsic (and i really want to), i want to
have a lap top with me to search for local restaurants on the trip
home. And i should look for Lonely Planet books for the US... i found
their book VERY helpful in Morocco.
