Truckin', got my chips cashed in ...

One of the best ways to know the inhabitants of the world is to travel the world. Whether you want to take a trip to exotic locales or just get putz about in your own backyard, here are some resources that may assist you in your journeys.

*Backpackers.com - A nifty web site for the "independent travel community". You can also register for a free emailbox whilst you are travelling to stay in touch with people back home.


*Travel reservations and information from the Internet Travel Network - this is an INCREDIBLE site which allows the user to specifically examine current plane fares from their departure point of choice to anywhere in the world. A small browser window opens up for their "cheap fare ticker", showing some real deals. And, you can book your passage on-line. Well worth taking a look.


*If standard travel is not your cup of joe, then look into the Internet Guide to Hostelling - featuring a FAQ about hostelling, the Worldwide Hostel Guide, information on hostel memberships and discounts, and more. [editor's note: Hostels are the way to travel inexpensively and meet people - one does not achieve the same sort of community atmopshere in a hotel or even an inn or bed-and-breakfast.]
