WRITER THANKSSIMON RICHMONDMany thanks to Van Vahle, Tonny Wong and Curtis Maxwell Perrin for insights, assistance and hospitality along the way.

AMY C BALFOURI had a blast checking out my regional neighborhood. Special thanks to the following folks who shared their favorite places: Dave Dekema, Sketchy, Barbra Byington, Ed and Melissa Reid, Lynn Neumann, Lori Jarvis, Andrew McRoberts, Tom Fleming, Melissa and Mary Peeler, Erin Stolle, Alicia Hay Matthai, Liz Smith-Robinson, Alice Merchant Dearing, Severn Miller, James Foley, John Park, Suzie Lublin Tiplitz, Sharon Nicely, Eone Moore Beck, Kendall Sims Hunt, Lee Bagby Ceperich, Justin Shephard, Tim Stinson, Trish Mullen and Steve Bruce.

RAY BARTLETTThis project couldn’t have happened without the awesome

love and support of my family, including my extended family out in Pennsylvania, who offered to put me up and show me around as I was researching. Many thanks too to the numerous guides, hotel receptionists, waiters and waitresses, and museum curators who took time to share their info and views. A lovely part of the planet, and one I hope to visit again soon. Readers, you’re in for a treat.

BRIAN KLUEPFELPaula Zorrilla, my guiding light and co-pilot – I couldn’t have done it without you. Trisha Ping, Greg Benchwick, Jane Grisman and Dianne Schallmeiner at LP for moral and technical support.Tom Kluepfel, honorary mayor of Hoboken and ‘mutz’ maven. Laura Collins, Rebecca Rozen and her dog Gizmo for Hamptons knowledge and good cheer. Stacey Borelli and Peggy Watson at Siemens for holding the fort. The Ocean Grove cop who didn’t give me a ticket.

June McPartland for selling me that car.

KARLA ZIMMERMANDeep appreciation to all of the locals who spilled the beans on their favorite places. Thanks most to Eric Markowitz, the world’s best partner-for-life, who kindly indulges my Abe Lincoln fixation. You top my Best List.

OUR WRITERS

OUR STORYA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end –

broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.

Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Dublin, Beijing, and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.
