What Do I Get?
My First Trip is broken down into categories. Here are the categories:
In every "My Frist Trp", Erik gives three hotel suggestions. One luxury property, one moderate and value. 
This is a very big subjective categories, Erik often times breaks this into sub categories relevant to a particular destination. In most cases Erik lists about 10 or 12 places to go, see or experience.
Bring your wallet, because Erik provides a couple of shopping locations in every "My First Trip".
This is one of Erik's favorite categories because every destination has "stuff" that is unique to that place and is usually one-of a kind.
Whether you're watching the budget or not, it's always a good idea to know "what's free", so Erik usually includes a couple of free attractions.
