 interesting July 24, 2008
some tips are interesting, but some I've heard before. The book had a difficult time keeping my interest since the entries are so short and unrelated in terms of organization.

The Smart Traveler's Passport allows travel 'newbies' as well as travel veterans to quickly and easily locate user friendly travel tips. The format is great for those who want fast facts without slogging through long paragraphs. The authors have gathered travel tested suggestions from many people and compiled them into an easy to read, helpful book. Ideas range from travelling to another state to trekking across foreign lands. You'll find hints for packing for road trips to finding freebies in London. The chapter headings are well thought out and specific topics easily located. This book is an enjoyable read with plenty of "AH HA!" tips and I found several of the suggestions just plain fun!
 Nothing here May 5, 2008

What's in the book? Nothing but short snippets of useless info. Don't let the budget travel brand lure you into thinking that this is a quality book. It isn't!!! There's nothing here that you probably don't already know.I truly like the following book as it's gotten me up to the 1st class cabin. The Penny Pincher's Passport to Luxury Travel: The Art of Cultivating Preferred Customer Status (Travelers' Tales).
Useful for domestic and overseas travel of any kind February 23, 2008
I recently checked this book out from the library in preparation for an overseas trip. I found so many useful ideas that I checked out the book again a month before the trip before finally deciding I should just buy it! It's certainly paid for itself in money, space, and time savings!
 Tips harder to find than ShangriLa December 29, 2007

Hard to find specific tips, as no index nor organizational sequence by topics. Is very random, and while I have found good suggestions from the magazine issues, this is just too random to be of great assistances
