Romantic Drive is Just the Ticket for Valentines Day

Southern California's most romantic drives in book

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 30, 2005 -- There's nothing more romantic than a drive in the country, and author Jack Brandais knows the best ones in and around Southern California. His new book, Weekend Driver San Diego, gives readers 20 drives in San Diego County, northern Baja California, and the adjacent Riverside and Orange counties. "Here's a great time to get away from it all... in your own back yard," said Brandais, who's been writing the Weekend Driver column for the San Diego Union-Tribune since July, 2000. "Just a few minutes out of town are places with great views, romantic inns and some of the most romantic locations in the world."

Detailed maps show readers how to get to places such as the wineries in Baja California's Guadalupe Valley, many Route 66-style highways, the old gold rush town of Julian, Indian casinos and Alpine forests. "Even if you're not in the area, the book has a lot of tips on how to find these great back roads in your own area," said Brandais. He has sample trips outside of San Diego on his web site, www.weekenddriver.com . "And I almost always enjoy planning a trip almost as much as the trip itself," he said. "Here's a chance to begin work on that summer trip to California by picking up Weekend Driver San Diego:"

The 204-page book is available in major bookstores all over San Diego and major online sellers. Brandais has a web site, http://www.weekenddriver.com/, with sample drives. There's also a link for online purchase.

Weekend Driver San Diego is published by Sunbelt Books, whose award-winning publishing program produces 5-10 new titles per year.
