Tips for the Savvy Traveler

Get your nose out of the tourist books to really see and enjoy where you go! says author Deborah Burns. In this redesigned and revised edition of Tips for the Savvy Traveler, Burns offers travel-tested tricks to avoid the beaten path and discover the real life of an area, along with the sage advice on planning travel arrangements, and budgeting for any trip. Her philosophy is that by reading and preparing in advance of leaving, one is able to focus on each place`s unique characteristics - it`s smells, scenery, history, and society. Especially useful for adventure travelers - whether 20-somethings or retired folks - this handbook provides every traveler with the latest news on health issues, security, passports and visas, airline regulations, lodging and dining, information on the internet, even what to pack. Includes special chapters on business, family, and disabled travel as well as suggestions for dealing with people and regulations in the travel industry. The eight pages of specialized checklists are particularly useful. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
