Contemplating a trip? Just dreaming about it? Well I AM!!! *S*
Here you will find a little of what I've learned along the way...as well as links to some helpful sites! *S*
Let me state here and now though...I am NOT an experienced traveller!!! In fact, I'm so INexperienced that I overplan!! *LOL* So the information here is a result of some frantic chasing around the net, and believe me, those that are insecure about a venture will research it to death! *LOL*
Okay so let's start off!!! One of the best ways to find out about where you're going....or to find someplace interesting to go...is to read about it! Check out Barnes & Noble for a VAST selection of books!!! *S*
There's also a huge selection of online resources available too!!! You can research almost any destination using MS Expedia Travel.
If flying is your game *shudder* *LOL* check out Chicago's O'Hare Airport or Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Can ya tell I'm from the midwest?? *Grin*
If you like to get down to the nitty gritty and see what the airlines are offering...check out this list of some major airlines!! *S*
Northwest Airlines
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
United Airlines
British Airways
SAS
American Airlines
Continental Airlines
You might have noticed an "international flavor" to some of my research *grin*. Well there's good reason for that!!! Since my fiance is from Sweden!! *grin* So here's some links that are a bit special to me *smile*
By the way...smorgasbord was a Swedish invention!!! *Grin*
Helsingborg, Sweden
Can't help slip in a link to politics in Sweden!! *LOL* My "apologies" to the Social Democrats of Sweden *grin* but I gotta go with Mike on this one!!! *LOL*
Some of these sites are only in Swedish...but never fear!! I wouldn't leave you hanging!! *LOL* Here's a great text translator!!!
Don't forget if you're planning on visiting another country that a passport is essential!!!
A site I found helpful is Passport Services
Some countries require additional visas for entry...Visa Services...can be of some help!
I found this site while bopping around the net, it proved to be informative and funny!!!! *grin* Check out Airplanes, Airplanes, Airplanes for a little chuckle!!
I hope some of this information will prove helpful to you! Enjoy the journey!!! *SMILE*
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!
I returned from a WONDERFUL trip to Sweden on May 10th. I can now tell you that world travel is NOT that difficult nor anything to really be concerned about! *S* Just prepare for it then sit back and enjoy!!! I must say that passing through customs in Sweden was one of my greatest fears *grin* It turned out to be SO layed back that they never asked a question...just a peek at the passport and a pooch to sniff my bags!! *LOL* So take it from a truely nervous traveler...there's NOTHING to worry about!! *GRIN*
