There are many excellent travel books in print, usually specific to a certain country or city. In contrast, Travel Wise is a general work. The goal is not to be comprehensive, but to open our eyes to worthwhile and affordable possibilities. With this in mind, you can expect helpful, easy-to-read chapters: Budgeting Your Trip, Packing & Dressing, Plane Travel, Getting Around, Where to Stay, International Travel, The Big Picture, Food & Culture, Off the Beaten Track, Personal Connections, Personal Retreats, When Things Go Wrong, and Homeward Bound. In addition, see the special bonus material in 333 Bucket List Destinations & Ideas. Travel Wise is also chock-full of practical material to enhance your experience, like Beating jet lag, Frequent flyer programs, The big & tall traveler, Passports and visas, Christmas abroad, Best travel apps, and Sailing through security.
