Here are tips based on the experiences of seasoned travelers! First, get all the information. Guidebooks, travelogues, travel literature, maps, and brochures are stepping-stones to start you off. There are the standard travelers' bibles like the country- and city-specific guides from lonely Planet, Fodors, Rough Guide, EyeWitness, and Footprint publications. Browse the titles you are after in a bookshop or library before buying any. Do not buy old editions because the very latest edition will still be at least a year old. The Internet is the ultimate resource. Look for travel forums where you can interact with other travelers and post any questions you can think of. There are hundreds of traveler blogs to read, and your dilemma would be to choose the ones that would be relevant or of special interest. Travel.alltop.com brings you the five most recently published articles from over 70 travel blogs and websites. Jawed Ahmad ID2198 - Bring lots of single dollar bills for tips during endless airport transfers, hotels, and courtesy busses. A Wilderness Guest Ranch, Moab, Utah ID655 - If you're going to a popular tourist attraction, buy your film at home! It usually costs a lot less than say, Disneyland, or Washington, D.C. or any other big vacation spot. Amber Chittick ID637 - Buy your airline tickets online! But, beware! Sometimes it's a hassle but it can be worth the trouble! I had an airline in a tizzy due to a published fare I had seen online the night before. There was a fare to the Caribbean for under $550 U.S. I tried to book online and their system was down. I called the airline directly, and of course the rate was higher. I then went back online and tried again and same thing, system failure. Should I have waited until morning to try again? NOOOOO! I did and guess what?!?! I called the airline and of course was sent to several operators until one was savvy enough to put me through to tech support. The airline stated that there was never a fare for that rate to my destination from the night before. I should have PRINTED OUT that page and it would have been honored by the airline the next day due to the fact that there really were tech problems on the site. Use that wacky printer of yours if you can't book online, and then with your proof ... demand that the rate be honored! Adventures with Adventure Girl Adventures with Adventure Girl ID560 - Always carry lots of quarters and dimes. A used film canister works very well. You never know when you will need to catch the bus or train or make a pay phone phonecall.
