SNOW-DODGING FOR UMPTEENAGERS

Had enough of suffering through winter? Crippled by soaring heating costs? Begun thinking of spending it on going somewhere warmer for the coldest months of the year? You''re not alone. Thousands like you are doing just that and the author is no exception.

The only difference is that his quest for the perfect refuge from winter goes back twenty years.

Twenty years in which he travelled the globe testing places that might fit the bill.

Result - a fat file of his findings and ''Snow-Dodging for Umpteenagers'', a travel advisory/memoir written specifically for people of a certain age already on, or about to embark on, their own quest for that one winter sanctuary that can''t be beat. It''s not as straightforward as it seems.
