Sooooooo helpful, and funny, May 13 2006
By Matt Brodlie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Travel Practically Anywhere: Planning, Booking, Navigating, and (Sometimes) Troubleshooting Your Trip in a Do-It-Yourself Era (Paperback)
I travel all the time and I found this to be incredibly helpful with great tips on hotels, airlines, car rentals, etc. It has saved me a LOT of time - I can go directly to the relevent website rather than surfing around for hours. Her anecdotes are also pretty funny - well-written.This is great for both frequent and infrequent travellers. A superb resouce; everything from immunization information to travel travel tips to solo-traveller websites.

Susan Stellin hits the nail on the head with this incredibly useful guide. I was planning a spring trip, and her book came just in time. She had an answer for every nitpicky question I had. And here's a suprise -- a guide book that's fun to read.

how to travel practically anywhere, Jan 9 2007
By Susan A. Staub "susan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Travel Practically Anywhere: Planning, Booking, Navigating, and (Sometimes) Troubleshooting Your Trip in a Do-It-Yourself Era (Paperback)
This book is comprehensive and very helpful; a book people who travel should have in their libraries. Before I buy books, I usually check them out at the library and purchase only the books which I want to own them for further readings. This is a book well worth owning
