PlaceNotes lets you picture your trip
Lighten up your load next time you travel domestically, with PlaceNotes travel cards, which make it easy to assemble your own page-by-page itinerary and leave the heavy guidebooks at home. Packaged in a 4- by-6-inch box, the cards carry photographs of nine destinations, along with descriptions, history, a map, websites and other information.
The notes are from the University of Texas Press and include several Texas destinations: Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and the University of Texas (in Austin). Others are Santa Fe, N.M., Chicago art and architecture, Pittsburgh, and New York art museums. $19.95 each. Info: (800) 252-3206, www.utexas.edu/utpress/subjects/placenotes.html
