Rough Guides Publications
www.travel.roughguides.com
Joseph says: "I take Rough Guides with me on every trip that is
heading to one of the 150 destinations they cover.
I always found that Rough Guides excels in giving you the stories behind
the destinations, attractions or festivals you’re experiencing.
Culture, people and history are some of their main concerns. Yet,
Rough Guides is more than a travel guide publisher -- they offer
books on the Internet, Travel Health, World Music (with accompanying
CDs), History and many other subjects from Personal Computers to The
Beatles. In addition, I find their phrasebooks to be without equal -- if
communication is you goal, they are simply the best around. As an added
bonus, Rough Guides publishes information on
thousands of destinations online. Be sure to click on to their

The Mosaic Hotel
125 Spalding Ave.
Beverly Hills, CA 90212
Reservations: (800) 463-4466
www.mosaichotel.com
Joseph says: "The Mosaic Hotel in Beverly Hills —
is described by Frommer’s guides as 'Perfectly placed on the edge of a
quiet Beverly Hills neighborhood just steps away from the prime shopping
scene, it's the most impressive boutique hotel in the city.'"
With just 49 rooms, the hotel offers a
touch of elegance in a homey atmosphere. It’s the perfect escape
from the rush and crush. Even if you don’t stay at the hotel drop
into the bar for a drink or executive chef Richard Wood's famous tapas from
around the world. Wednesday Night’s a great time to give it a try
since you get music along with your tapas.
