What I would be really interested in knowing is what are travel sites to do feel the Best of the Best, that is, ones that you always use and rely on when planning travel. You can list them so that I may add up to my collections.
Thanks for your help.
Your favorite travel web sites?
I would be interested in finding out what sites others visit as well.
I use the obvious ones, the sites of the travel guide writers:
http://www.frommers.com/
http://www.fodors.com/
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/
IMO - you are posting on my favourite and the best travel website on the net!
I actually just found Responsible Travel this week . . . it's based out of the UK, but it seems that if you want to get a flight from somewhere else, that's fine.
Hear hear for (semi)sustainable travel!
