Travel Guide Books are relied on as a means of organising independent travel and sourcing destination information by thousands of travellers. Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, and other titles all provide a wealth of information.

I do worry when I see many tourists clutching their Lonely Planet Bible and not looking beyond the recommendations in the guide, especially if they are choosing accommodation. The suggestions are certainly good options. but only a very few hotels have been chosen to go in the guide. there are many more options that could be just as good if you do the research.

Having travelled extensively and independently long before these Travel Guides came into existence, my husband and I still do our research from a variety of sources. but we do take a Lonely Planet or Rough Guide for a destination as a back up. They also have a lot of interesting history and information on the destinations covered in the Guide, a small vocabulary for basic words in the langua ... Read more »

Nestled on the south shore of Lake Union and extending south to Denny Way, South Lake Union is one of the fastest growing and most vibrant neighborhoods in Seattle. As the city s downtown lakefront neighborhood, it s a place where cutting-edge companies co-exist with urban lofts, one-of-kind retail experiences mix with world-class parks and open spaces, seaplane tours depart to circle scenic Seattle from above and a streetcar line quickly moves people around in style.

South Lake Union also has a little of the funkiness so distinctive to the Emerald City. A local condominium complex has a bocce ball court, the stunning lakefront park has a model boat pond and there s a local gourmet bakery — for dogs.

The neighborhood is already home to several globally-recognized companies including the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Rosetta/Merck, ZymoGenetics, Tommy Bahama, NBBJ, University of Washington Medicine, Group Health Cooperative, Seattle Biomedical Research Insti ... Read more »

Imagine yourself paddling a kayak through the dense belly of the Amazon rainforest. Can you picture walking side by side with the mighty elephants of Africa. Maybe a bike trek along the Great Wall of China or a cattle drive through Patagonia is more your speed. How does traveling into outer space sound? If any of these wild trips sound like a great way to spend your holiday, then adventure travel may be for you.

One of the fastest-growing trends in the travel business is adventure tourism. Defining exactly what it means is a little tricky. For some, adventure could mean leisurely biking and hiking tours. For others, it might entail BASE jumping into an underground cave in Mexico. The main facets of adventure tourism usually include traveling to a distant location, interacting with different cultures and undertaking a physical activity of some kind.

Adventure travel is typically grouped into two categories -- hard and soft adventures. Hard adventures ... Read more »

Colorful, quirky and charming, Amsterdam is a lovely old-world city lined with 17 th century building, canals, and the constant sight of bicycles whizzing by. But it also bears all the hallmarks (and then some) of a thriving and downright lenient metropolis. While many young people visit Amsterdam for the marijuana scene - and perhaps to peek at the legal prostitutes in the Red Light District - the city is teeming with high culture, from the world-class art in the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseumn to P.C. Hooftstraat, the shopping street where you can also find plenty of the contemporary, cutting-edge design that has become a source of pride in Amsterdam and the Netherlands.

In general, May through October is the main Amsterdam travel season, when temperatures are warmest. Crowds peak in July and August. The other top time to visit Amsterdam is tulip season: The city bursts into bloom as early as March and can extend int ... Read more »

As a few other reviewer pointed out, there are some issues with the limited amount of room in economy. I just got back from a 15hr flight to Australia and had plenty of time to figure it out. I used it on a 747 and A380 and was comfortable on both.

The first thing you need to do is inflate it completely, then try to rest on it. Then while resting on it, allow air to escape (by slightly unscrewing the valve) to adjust the height until you find it comfortable. I found that it was best when I used U-pillow (the type normally used to support ... Read more »

How important is having travel health insurance?

It is reassuring to know that you can be covered for most health and dental emergencies when you are faced with an accident, or emergency health crisis. Especially if such an accident should happen far from home!

Thousands of people every year find themselves in a difficult situation. They somehow become hospitalized in a foreign country, unable to communicate clearly, unsure of what is happening and without travel health insurance.

When you travel to Canada. you should be aware that conditions, both natural and man-made, may be significantly different from those in your country and may seriously affect health and personal security during travel.

Often neglected, travel health insurance is one of the most important items to have when travelling abroad. Even in the safest of environments, there is always the possibility of illness or injury. With travel health insurance you will have the ... Read more »

As I didn’t know where to write this tip I have opted for the local custom as most of the red telephone kiosks will be turning green for charging mobile phones.In October 2015 London had launched their first solarbox for charging mobile phones just outside Tottenham Court Station exit 3 by Dominion Theatre.The scheme will be extended into other.

This really depends how long your staying. But something you may want to cosider paticularly if your staying in a hotel in one of the older buildings around victoria many of London hotel rooms are small so a large case may get in the way. I would recommend probably a small case hand luggage size and also a rucksack or similar to carry your camera.
