Pacific Coast Highway Travel


Donna Dailey

Donna Dailey Donna Dailey (left, on the Pacific Coast Highway) writes on travel for newspapers and magazines worldwide, and for websites, including of course Pacific Coast Highway Travel. Her work has won several prestigious travel writing awards, and she was recently runner-up as Travel Writer of the Year. She has also written or contributed to over 25 guidebooks for major travel publishers, including some with her husband Mike Gerrard. Between them, the two also write and publish the Pacific Coast Highway Travel website.

Donna's travels have taken her down the Rio San Juan into Nicaragua’s rain forest, across the Australian Outback, to ancient sites in Jordan and Tunisia, and to the game reserves of Kenya. She has hiked across the Rockies and the desert canyons of the American Southwest, and joined in music sessions in the pubs of Ireland and Scotland. Her appetite for food and drink stories has had her eating buffalo in Denver and billy goat in the Loire Valley, sipping sherry in Spain’s bodegas, and taken her from the gourmet restaurants of Paris to Valencia in search of the perfect paella.

Donna has a Journalism degree from the University of Northern Colorado. She speaks basic Spanish. Before moving to London she worked for US publications and in television. She has been a freelance travel writer and photographer since 1993, and has worked as a Managing Editor for Insight Guides. She is a member of the British Guild of Travel Writers.

Here's Donna winning her award as runner-up for Travel Writer of the Year from the British Guild of Travel Writers at their annual awards ceremony at the Savoy Hotel in London

He has won awards for his writing and photojournalism, as well as a Benjamin Franklin Best Guidebook Award for a guidebook on Paris. He has also written or contributed to over 25 guidebooks for major travel publishers, including some with his wife Donna Dailey. Between them, the two also write and publish the Pacific Coast Highway Travel website. Mike is a member of Travelwriters UK, WPu, and also the British Guild of Travel Writers.

Mike loves writing about food and drink for the travel pages, and has visited vineyards in France, Greece, New Zealand and even Arizona, has toured breweries in Belgium and Britain, restaurants in Paris, a chocolate shop in Lyon, the Champagne region of France and the sherry bodegas of Jerez. He worked for a week as a waiter in a taverna in the Greek islands, and as a result he now leaves bigger tips.

Mike's more exotic travels have taken him camel-trekking in the Sinai Desert, walking in the Great Rift Valley of Tanzania to raise money for charity, learning to jive in Barcelona, looking for orang-utans in the rain forests of Sumatra and staying with a farming family in China.

PCH Hotels Guide

Pacific Coast Highway Hotels Guide 2011

To help you in choosing your Pacific Coast Highway hotel, guesthouse, inn, bed-and-breakfast, resort, motel or other accommodations, we've prepared our Pacific Coast Highway Hotels Guide ebook. In it we do mini-reviews of accommodations along the Highway, from Seattle to San Diego, through Washington, Oregon, and California.

For the 2011 edition we added new hotels, including a special 50-hotel section covering California’s wine country of Napa, Sonoma, and Paso Robles - by far the most popular diversion from the PCH drive. In all there are over 200 hotels listed, complete with 8 pages of color maps showing the towns where our recommended hotels can be found. There are both alphabetical and geographical indexes, helping you plan your journey.

We also include color photos of all the hotels that are our Personal Favorites. Here's the link to
