Lines: 24 [] 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. -- The Polymath (Jerry Hollombe) Opinions expressed here are my own Transaction Technology, Inc. and unrelated to anyone else's. 3100 Ocean Park Blvd. Santa Monica, CA 90405 United States (213) 450-9111, ext. 2483 ...{garfield,lasspvax,linus,cmcl2,seismo}!philabs!ttidca!ttidcc!hollombe
