FOR EXPLORING AND PLANNING YOUR TRIP

Throughout my travel section, you will find direct links to the Travel Companies I deal with, and on the specific tour sites, there are links to specific web sites dealing with the venues we will visit. You can find anything you want to know about travel on the Internet. There is a special site which lists the best rest rooms in the world. You can find links to the Hotels you'll be staying in, where to buy the best travel gear, the location of ATM's for your particular credit card company, etc., etc. There's a site which lists experts who, via e-mail, will answer your individual questions about travel.
