Traveler'sToolKit.
All of
us travelers need useful websites to click on --- the modern equivalement of a travel research library, only much more up
to the minute.
We used
to spend a lots a time and energy looking up the answers to these sorts of questions or, in many cases, phoning until we got
the right person to answer them.
Nowadays we turn to the internet ---and amazingly, many people start fron scratch every time to find the websites with
answers to the same sorts of questions they asked six months ago. Or they mark so many sites as "favorites" that they over
whelm themselves. What's the point of having 15 currency converters when you need only one really swift, easy-to-use
site to answer your question?
Here are some ideas for a TravelToolBox
-- a group of sites for general research when you have questions that the Web can answer quickly.
These sites offer you the basic tool
kit. If you are a mountain climber or a dog-sledder or a horse rider, you will want to add Web resources about those adventures
to your kit.
We based our choices on technical reliability,easy
of use and the quality of the content -- sometimes a tough choice, given that many sites often do the same thing well. Some
of then are Travel Toolboxes themselves.
