Is this a printed book you mail me?
No, and I'd rather you knew that before you spend a dime. It's a PDF, and the printable trip planner comes with it: files you open on your phone, your tablet or your computer the moment you pay. Nothing arrives in the mail. You can print any page you like, and the planner and the "words worth saying" card are made to be printed.
Is the type big enough to read?
Yes. It's set big on purpose, and every place is laid out the same way, in short sections, so you always know where to look.
I'm not good with computers.
You don't need to be, my friend. You press one button and the book opens the way a photo does: no account, no password. If it doesn't open, write to me and I'll walk you through it, or give you your money back.
I don't walk far anymore. Is this for me?
That's exactly who it's for. Every place tells you where the stairs and hills are and how to get around them, and the "On foot" stars tell you at a glance. If you use a wheelchair, some places will be harder than the stars suggest, so read "Stairs, hills and the way round" first.
Won't the information go out of date?
The places and facts were researched in 2026. Prices, opening hours and flight routes change all the time, so the book says it plainly: check the official site for anything that matters before you book.
Is it only for Americans?
It's written for travelers flying from the US: flight times are from US airports and prices are in dollars. The advice on the ground works for anyone.
Will it tell me if I'm fit to travel, or which insurance to buy?
No. I stick to places, seasons and comfort. Nothing in the book is medical, insurance or financial advice. If you have a health condition, talk to your own doctor before you travel.
Is Beau a real person?
No. Beau Rutledge is a character, and so is Lorraine. His stories are composites: names, places and details are changed or combined, and none of them describes a real trip or a real person. The places and the facts about them are real: every one was researched by the team behind Where Beau Would Go.
Is this a subscription? Will you charge my card again?
No. You pay once. No subscription, no app, nothing to renew.
I'm buying this for my mother and dad.
Good. Print the planner, pick a month together, and let Lorraine's Verdict settle the arguments. It settles ours.
What if I don't like it?
Write to me within days and you get your money back in full. No questions, and you keep the book.
