"Frank F. Matthews" wrote in message ... Yep. Dissing Barbara by someone who I haven't notices as contributing did really get to me. Under a variety of pseudonyms, I have been contributing with information and advice on Italy on this forum for several years. On the other hand, here is just some of the crap you have been wasting bandwidth with from recent postings. Non of which is of the slightest help or interest to the people who ask questions in this forum. Sadly, you are not in a minority. If you have nothing positive to contribute then don't. It would shorten the audit trail for people posting genuine replys to questions posed about travel. Start of quotes// 1. Which is something that bothers me since the Subject usually isn't changed as the discussion goes off on a tangent. 2. The problem is that folks keep morphing dumb threads into ones that are interesting. Once they degenerate to exchanges of insults I do kill them and just hope that good sense doesn't return. 3. It's a Cajun thing and actually quite interesting in the basic idea. An excellent blend of textures and flavors. Look up the following: 4. Perhaps opinions should be limited to those under 35. Personally a problem in 2040 isn't a problem. 5. Now I did say that opinions should be from folks who might be affected. 6. Unfortunately for the decendents the second option will probably be thru extinction and replacement by another form of life. // End of quotes |

I buy several guidebooks (why on earth would I spend thousands on a vacation,
then skimp on a $20 guidebook?). Usually I carry one, or cut them apart and carry only where I'll be (dependant on how planned our trip is. Last year, to Italy, I carried pieces, since the itinerary was totally set. This year, to Germany in the fall, I'm just taking the book, as I'll likely have a relatively free itinerary) -- Julie ********** Check out the blog of my 9 week Germany adventure at www.blurty.com/users/jholm Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |

I don't carry them with me, I read them in advance. Then I either enter the info into my PDA or tear out the important pages. I carry only one guidebook in total with me, and usually only on an open-ended trip. I actually said most of this on the oringial post, but you edited it out.

Thanks for all the advice!
I ended up getting a DK one on Italy, since it has lots of good info on many cities in Italy, and since I am planning to visit many of them in Italy for a short stretch of time I thought this would be economical to get this rather than spend £10 on a book for each city. It seems to have the main parts from the city DK books pasted into this one and will do me for 2-3 days in each city. Thanks again! Mike http://www.soundclick.com/bluemenagerie "We are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams" "Mike Azzopardi" wrote in message news Hi I'm wondering if anyone has any recomendations on which travel guide series are any good? I'm thinking about the eyewitness account ones since they combine many cities in one book. I sometimes get the feeling that one book on one city may be too much if only going away for a short break.. Are there any guides in particular that folks here swear by? Any help appriciated before I buy one.

The guide seems to be quite good regarding history and background. One complaint though :the pages seems to come loose ! Kristian |
