The United States was my first overseas trip and "Let's Go USA, 1994" my first guidebook. I loved the trip and the book certainly played a part in that.

If I was looking for criticisms, I would say that while I travelled through the US in late 1994, "Let's Go USA, 1994" was already out of date in some cases, with one hostel shut down (a late apology to the bloke who was living in the former hostel when I rang the doorbell at 1:00am) and some prices had shot up. Still, over 20 years since that trip, a flick through "Let's Go USA, 1994" still brings back a lot of happy memories. ( )
