European Ferry Links
-
Shipping companies have a ways to go in terms of getting online. Indeed,
it is downright frustrating trying to get information out of them. Note:
although I have taken most of these lines
-
I have nothing to do with them. Please tell me of any correction, clarrifications
or additions. Additionally, I am interested in knowing any progress people
have made on hitching rides with freight companies... if you are interested,

Publications
US Department of State

The US Department of State puts out two publications (?) that can come
in handy in either justifying a trip or getting out of going on it. They
are:
-
Consular
Info Sheet -- visa and crime information
-
Foreign Entry
Requirements. The DOS finally got around to writing out a complete
list off all the entry requirements for US citizens. It might be
slightly inaccurate, but such is life.
-
Human rights reports
-- Although this Congressionally mandated report strives for objectivity
it is written with the knowledge that bad things said about a country will
adversly affect its relations with the US.
FAQS
-
Everyone is always saying "READ THE FAQ." However, few people do. These
lists of "frequently asked questions" provide more than enough information
to tackle even the most annoying problems.
-
For advice on how to travel, consult the following FAQs:

Ticket services
Obviously, I have nothing to do with any of these services, and
I take no responsibility if you get shot while on a trip provided by any
of them. Furthermore, if they take your money complain to the Better
Business Bureau, your credit card company, and sue them in small claims
court.
-
Air Discounts -- Neat,
but they ask for too much information in advance.
-
All
Flights Information System -- Cumbersome yet simply. This service is
worth browsing because it links to the airlines rather than SABRE or other
services.

Alls Supermarket of Travel
-- Swiss travel agent offering last-minute specials and good
rates to the states.
-
AMADEUS
Flight reservations -- Direct link to SABRE's competition.
