Hello Everyone!
I was a little torn between the Spiral and the Deluxe at first. I LOVE LOVE LOVE <u>any</u> Passporter!! It's the only guide book I always recommend to people. Right now I have both. I really like the way you can hold everything together with the Deluxe, but like alot of other people, I haven't found a good way to store the old refills. So, here's what I did for our trip this year: I went ahead and got the Spiral version, and also one of those nifty Bible cover type things that has all the pockets and such. I found one that fits my Spiral PP perfectly! And it has zippered pockets and velcro pockets of all sizes, places to put pens, sticky notes, maps and brochures, notepads, extra stickers, and things that I have printed off the computer -- lists, menus, etc. (these are all the things I currently have crammed into in anyway
). Plus, it zips shut! I don't think you can go wrong either way, it really depends on how many 'extra' things you end up adding.
