This is in response to numerous requests for information I've  seen  posted
to  this news group.  I hope the more experienced travellers will bear with
me stating what may seem obvious to them.  Here is  a  general  travel  tip
I've found very useful:

When planning to visit any foreign country, call or write to the embassy or
consulate  of that country before you go.  Tell them where your planning to
go and ask them to send  you  any  appropriate  tourist  information  about
sights  to  see, places to stay, etc..  They'll be happy to send you pounds
of travel brochures and lists of hotels,  bed  and  breakfasts,  campsites,
etc., all for FREE.  It's a great aid in planning itineraries, lodging, and
generally not missing the things you'll want to see.
