| • Image Gallery – Displays from three to six pictures; not many, but good. • Events – Provides a brief overview of what’s happening and when, including public holidays for some countries. • Transport – Tells you how to get there and how to get around once you are there. Travel Guides Online 27 Figure 2.2 Lonely Planet’s Destinations page for Norway TEAM LinG • Money – Provides details about the country’s economy, but more importantly for the travel, a Costs list showing the price of typical items, such as movie tickets, a liter of milk, a loaf of bread, a glass of wine, a roll of film, and a daily transport ticket—a tremendously valuable tool in planning a travel budget. • Background Info – Includes sections on Weather, Time & Place (time, weights and measures, geography), Crossing Borders (customs, visas, passports), Government (names of heads of government, etc.), People & Society (origins and religions), and Culture & History (the origins of the culture, the language, music, literature, and history, so travels get a sense of the basics). City information includes similar categories, with much more information about the city’s local sights, attractions, events, etc. (However, for individual sights within any city, more information is available on the Fodor’s or Frommer’s sites than at Lonely Planet.) Other Sections of Lonely Planet On Lonely Planet’s main page (and other pages), you will find links to the following Lonely Planet features: • Thorn Tree – One of the most active travel forums on the Web with more than a quarter of a million registered users. For more information about the Thorn Tree forum, see the section on Discussion Groups at the end of this chapter. • Travel Services – Lonely Planet has teamed up with several well-respected sites to provide the following reservation and travel services: Airline Reservations (from Opodo, Kayak, Zuji); Hostels and Budget Travel (HostelWorld); Hotel Reservations (Opodo, Kayak, Zuji); Travel Insurance (World 28 The travel’s Web TEAM LinG Nomads); Global Communication for phones and phone cards (ekit); Adventure Travel (World Expeditions); Personal Trip Web Site (MyTripJournal); Rail and Ferry passes, schedules, and reservations (RailPlus, RailEurope); and Car Rental (Holiday Autos). • Bluelist – A collection of travel experiences and destinations that are recommended, described, and rated by the Lonely Planet staff, authors, and travels. • Travel Ticker – Contains important travel advisories, including new and ongoing warnings, and reminders of other events, such as elections and holidays, that may generate large crowds travels may wish to avoid. • Theme Guides – Provides advice on where to go, categorized by a variety of themes, including Art, Beaches, Deserts, Fatal Attractions, Festivals, Food, History, Honeymoons, Islands, Music, Religion, Roadtrips, Safaris, Sport, Twilight Zone, Water, and Sports. Lonely Planet is at its unconventional best with its commentary on places and events: “The sole purpose of the Burning Man Festival is to confirm the widely-held belief that Californians are a loopy lot, in that harmless SoCal magic-crystals-and-inner-child kind of way.” • Digital Guides – Print guides, audio guides, and maps you can purchase • Travel Features – Browse this mini-travel magazine with articles, podcasts and blogs by Lonely Planet guidebook writers. You can browse by author and by region. • Postcards – Includes guidebook-type information contributed by Lonely Planet readers and functions somewhat as an update to the printed Lonely Planet guidebooks. Most information falls in the following categories: Visas; Embassies & Travel Guides Online 29 http://juliannachatterton.studioathome.com http://juliannachatterton.blogspirit.com/ http://juliannachatterton.alkablog.com/ http://juliannachatterton.blogster.com/ http://tommyblogmaster.livejournal.com/ http://blogs.grab.com/juliannachatter http://members.greenpeace.org/blog/juliannachatterton http://juliannachatterton.blogspot.com/ http://juliannachatterton.wordpress.com/ http://www.bloglines.com/blog/juliannachatterton http://juliannachatterton.bloghi.com http://juliannachatterton.tripod.com/ http://journals.aol.com/juliannachatt/julianna-chatterton/ http://blog.flickr.com/en http://blogs.ign.com/juliannachatterton/ http://juliannachatter.greatestjournal.com/ http://juliannachatter.iziblog.net/ http://www.naymz.com/ http://www.xanga.com/juliannachatterton http://juliannachatterton.multiply.com/blog http://my.20six.co.uk/juliannachatterton juliannachatterton.blogsome.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/juliannachatterton http://360.yahoo.com/juliannablogmaster http://geocities.com/juliannablogmaster/blog.html http://www.freewebs.com/juliannachatterton/juliannachatterton.htm http://juliannablogmaster.googlepages.com/home http://www.myownjournal.com/journal.php?u_mem=juliannachatter http://www.opendiary.com/juliannachatterton juliannachatterton.bravehost.com http://www.my-diary.org/users/277551 http://juliannachatterton.mydeardiary.com/ http://www.familytimes.com/journalhome/712 http://juliannachatterton.blog.co.uk/ http://www.selectablog.com/juliannachatter/ http://juliannachatterton.outblogger.com/ juliannachatterton.daria.be/ http://server.blogghost.net/juliannachattertonn/ http://clearblogs.com/juliannachattertonn/ http://juliannachatterton.bloggerteam.com/ http://ebloggy.com/juliannachattertonn http://juliannachattertonn.blogs.ie/ http://www.teenblog.org/juliannachattertonn/ juliannachattertonn.myweblog.com/ http://juliannachatter.egoweblog.com/ http://www.bahraichblogs.com/juliannachatterton/ http://juliannachattertonn.blogbeee.com/ http://eduspaces.net/juliannac/weblog http://juliannachatterton.theblog.net http://juliannachatterton.nightblog.net http://juliannachatterton.atravelblog.net http://juliannachatterton.art-blog.net http://juliannachatterton.animalblog.net http://juliannachatterton.funblogged.com http://juliannachatterton.explaining.net http://juliannachatterton.reviewing.net http://juliannachatterton.enjoying.net http://julianna-chatterton-live.com/ http://julianna-chatterton-live.biz/ http://julianna-chatterton-live.net/ http://julianna-chatterton-live.info/ http://julianna-chatterton-live.org/ | ||
