Fodor's Great List of Links
December 7, 2007. When it comes to luxury vacation rentals, the folks at Fodor's have been all over the world. So, when we saw a list of links collected in the article "Tips for the Super Organized Traveler," we thought we'd make a note of it. The article is full of some good ol' standbys and some choices we'd never seen.
Locate Wi-Fi beforehand. Finding an Internet connection isn't always easy, even in this day and age. That's why it pays to know where to go before you're stuck with no signal. JiWire has a list of locations in most major destinations.
Reservations for two. When you first arrive to a new place, finding a restaurant can sometimes be challenge. Sometimes, finding a restaurant without a one-hour wait can be a challenge. OpenTable.com allows you to find a place to eat while you're still at home (or in the airport lounge) and then book reservations.
What's in the surf? Everyone prefers an unspoiled beach, but they aren't always as clean as we want them to be. In fact, oil spills and sewage leaks occasionally shut down some beaches, and others suffer from less-than-desirable conditions. Visit the Blue Flag Programme for a list of which ones are clean and which ones aren't.
