He says, "I wanted to share the exciting, and sometimes scary world of hotel management. This book is a must-read for anyone intending to pursue a career in the hotel business, and an entertaining adventure to others who might never have stayed in one or have extensively traveled on business or pleasure." About the Author: Kenneth Vincent describes his age as "71 going on 150." Now retired, the author formed and operated a hotel management corporation and seven other related companies.

The remainder is a synopsis of true events I have experienced in my career that are entertaining, amusing, strange, shocking and unbelievable. Anyone that travels extensively should find a new insight into what has been merely an overnight stay in the past. Enjoy! KV Publisher's website: http://SBPRA.com/KennethVincent

In 2005 J.C. Lupine embarked on a summer long trip through Yellowstone, living out of a dilapidated van. She had no plans, only to bum around the park, watch the animals and tourists, and see what happened. The result is a philosophical masterpiece, filled with observations on myth, domestication (of animals and humans), the importance of metaphor, and the nature of time. Yellowstoned gives us a view of the park from an angle you've never seen before. The wildness inherent in the lawns at Mammoth Hot Springs, or the parking lot at Norris at midnight, are given equal consideration as the wildflower meadows or the view from Mt. Washburn. In this world, ravens teach their fledgelings about the purpose of humanity, and a cougar has a home decorating scheme that would make Martha Stewart shiver. The author's watercolor drawings bring her eye for detail to life.

Dear Bob and Sue, I hope you don't mind that Karen and I have taken the emails we wrote to you while visiting the all of the national parks and published them as a book. We had a difficult time deciding on a title. One morning over coffee Karen asked, "What's the title going to be?" "I was thinking about calling it just Bob and Sue." I replied. "Just Bob and Sue, that's an odd title." "Not Just Bob and Sue. The title will be just -- Bob and Sue." "The book isn't even about them, it's about us. We should call it Just Matt and Karen." "We're not calling it Just anything." "Good, because Just Anything is a stupid title. Who would read a book about just anything? It's got to be about something." "Now that you mention it, the book isn't about anything in particular. It's really just - sorry, let me rephrase that, it's merely rambling observations about our experiences in the parks and the silly things that happen to us." "Then we shouldn't call it Just Anything." "We were never going to call it that " "Good." After a long silence Karen looked up and asked, "What's the title going to be?" "How about Bob and Sue?" I quickly replied. "They don't care what we call the book. How about Dear Bob and Sue?" "Sold " So, there you have it, Dear Bob and Sue is now finished. If you get a million of your friends to each buy a copy, I'll quit my job again and we'll go back to all of the parks. Next time we'll take you with us as our guests. Your friend, Matt

The Englishman of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, especially of the latter, is seen to have exercised considerable zeal in creating substitutes for his home, namely by establishing a vast number of taverns, inns, clubs, gardens and coffee houses. Those which already have existed in "Old London" are described in this volume. Originally published in 1909.

Seeing a grizzly bear at close range is an adrenalin rush. Getting the chance to white-water raft on a wild and scenic river is something that should never be passed up. Capturing a moose or a herd of elk on film from close range allows you to share that experience with friends who have never or will never get the opportunity to see either one or the other, or both. How about the chance to hike to a high alpine lake in Glacier National Park where as late as August you'll discover that the last mile of that hike is through snow, and upon reaching the lake you'll see icebergs floating? Many people would be happy to have any of those experiences even once. For author Joe Novak, now a full-time resident of the North Fork Valley, across the river from Glacier National Park, those and many more experiences like them have become the norm in his life. This is his story of deciding to buy upon first sight a piece of property far removed from the comforts of civilization. He immediately fell in love when visiting ten acres that were for sale in 1995. It wasn't the ten acres that left him speechless, but the surrounding area. To the east he looked into Glacier National Park. To the west were the peaks of the Whitefish Mountain Range. Seven miles to the north was the Canadian border. Those ten acres were surrounded by literally millions of acres of National Park Service and national forest lands. This is the story of his journey, and the experiences, challenges, and difficulties of living on that land, eventually year-round. He has survived a forest fire and a near drowning to chronicle the people he has come to know, the seasons, the views, and the wildlife. It is ultimately a love story-his love of what is commonly known as the North Fork.

Arizona State Parks have a lot to offer. They are the most scenic places in the state; they include canyons, deserts, lakes, mountains, ancient ruins, rock formations, cactus forests and scenic drives. Many people think that Arizona as nothing more than a giant hole in the ground and surrounded by sand dunes. Many think there's only one season, and that it never snows. Of course, if these individuals would ever visit Arizona, they'd see that Arizona is the most beautiful place in the world, and when it comes to snow, we certainly can hold our own. It's no wonder why so many Americans flock to Arizona, to witness the rich beauty it has. In this guide, you will find information about Arizona's many state parks.

"As an actress, I spent a great deal of time in England, especially while raising my children with Roald Dahl. Several of London's grand luxury hotels have been part of my life for decades. Ward Morehouse III's beautifully written book highlights the best of the best, reminding me of the glorious times I have spent in several of these glamorous hotels and piquing my curiosity to visit those I haven't yet had the pleasure to experience." - Patricia Neal, Academy Award and Tony Award-winning actress Ward Morehouse III's love affair with grand hotels began long before his first, landmark book The Waldorf-Astoria: America's Gilded Dream. His father, the late drama critic Ward Morehouse (who requested "Room Service, please " on his tombstone), lovingly indoctrinated his young son into the glamorous life of luxurious hotels in New York and elsewhere, teaching him that a great hotel is made up of more than fine linens and fancy uniforms. It's the staff, the people, who make any hotel special. So London's Grand Hotels -- Extraordinary People, Extraordinary Service, in the World's Cultural Capital, to be published by BearManor Media on August 15, 2010, concerns itself not just with the physical grandeur of London's top hotels, but with all the grand people working in - and staying at - these real-life palaces. Checking into any one of them is like taking part in a grand opera. London boasts the greatest collection of grand hotels of any city. England's legendary empire truly lives on through its greatest inns. Mr. Morehouse's book also include as series of exclusive celebrity photographs of current of theater, film and business stars who are devotees of London's grand hotels such as Sienna Miller, Jude Law, Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Richard Branson. Here's a sampling of exclusive stories from some of those who own and run these hotels and the stars who have stayed in them included in London's Grand Hotels -- Extraordinary People, Extraordinary Service in the World's Cultural Capitol" * Laurence Olivier and Vivian Leigh first met at The Savoy. One night my father took his wife Rebecca Morehouse, who worked for The Atlanta Journal, Time Magazine and Playbill, to dinner with the world's most famous lovers one night at their place in Christ Church Street. "They knew the pain of separation," she said. "He was on Broadway in a play when she was playing Scarlett in California," Mrs. Morehouse told me. "Her impatience to finish the picture was all about him, being with him. When they could arrange it, it wasn't easy, they got on planes and met in the middle of the country, some place with an airport, where didn't matter. 'We did terrible things all over your beautiful country, ' Vivian says cheerfully, with no apparent regret ... What terrible things ?" * When Richard Harris stayed at The Savoy he paid his bill erratically. And he would only even talk about paying it over "a Guinness" at the Cole Hole Pub next door. The last time that former Savoy general manager Michael Shepard saw Harris he had had a heart attack in his suite. While waiting in the lobby for an ambulance, he told Mr. Shepard, "Mr. Shepard, blame the food Blame the food " For some Broadway stars, the task of choosing a London hotel may be even as daunting as getting a starring role on Broadway. James Barbour, who starred in the mega-musical "Tale of Two Cities," shot the PBS special on the musical in London. "There are so many great hotels in London, how do you pick a favorite? " he asked rhetorically.
