BOOK IS A BIBLE FOR THOSE WHO MUST TRAVEL WITH PET

If you want to travel hassle-free with the family pet in Virginia Beach or anywhere else in the country, author Arthur Frank has written a book that investigates places where pets and their owners can stay together.

Called ``Take Your Pet U.S.A.,'' the guide has more than 3,900 listings of hotels, motels and bed-and-breakfasts across the country. It includes room rates with restrictions, deposits and fees where applicable and veterinary hospitals in towns and cities. Hotel pet etiquette, loss prevention, airline travel tips and travel cage regulation information are also included.

Virginia Beach entries include The Econo Lodge Expressway on Bonney Road, LaQuinta Motor Inn on Newtown Road, Ocean Holiday Motel on Atlantic Avenue, Red Roof Inn on Ballard Court, Travelodge on Bonney Road and the Thunderbird Motor Lodge on 35th Street and Oceanfront.

The book costs $11.95, plus $2 for shipping and handling. Write: Artco, 12 Channel St., Boston, Mass., 02210, or call: 1-800-225-8038. ILLUSTRATION: Photo
