enjoyed reading this book. Being an experienced traveller, l was looking for one or two tips that l simply was not aware of. Ms King did not let me down. I have never received any letter from an airline when l suffered through a delay. In fact, when you need the airlines most they tend to disappear! So thank you for this tid bit which, of course, l hope l never need again but if l do l will act!
This is a small book which is suitable for carrying around with you to confirm your ideas as you travel. I like the fact that there is an emphasis on travelling well at a reasonable price. One should always avoid traveling cheap unless that is forced upon you by circumstances beyond your control.
I believe those who are brave enough to travel to far off lands with little travel experience will get the most out of this book. It can be a confidence builder as one can run into situations one did not expect. Ms King has laid the travel journey out step by step and the book user can easily plan his complete trip in an orderly fashion using her advice.
Lastly, as one of those who has been traveling for many years the best thing that has happened in the travel industry over the past twenty years is the internet. Ms King intertwines the internet in her advice which makes it more authentic and more valuable.
