A Book Which Should Be On Any Traveller's Bookshelf

Some years ago -- when going places was still a childhood dream -- I read this book from cover to cover. Where brochures are romantic, this book is sometimes almost TOO practical; the result is that once having read it, you not only will never be taken advantage of again, you'll know more about travel to wherever you're going than will be said in whatever guidebook you buy! A few pointers Lana gives: You have to bring enough money with you to do what you came for; plane fare (no matter how high) is really NOT the primary consideration when planning a good trip; Don't try to cram in other cities or countries just because they're "close by". This thin volume is a must-read before any trip. It even has a section on translating tourist promotion hype into English! Obviously written by someone with a lifetime of dealing with people on the go, Travel Sense should not be missed
