Travel Guidebooks - The Horror Section

Travel guidebooks are like bibles for most travelers and sources of information salvation in a tight spot. Just try to avoid the horror section.

Travel Agency You've saved up some hard earned cash and are ready to hit the road. If you don't have a firm destination in mind, you'll inevitably find yourself sitting in a bookstore somewhere reading travel guides. Regardless of the brand, you usually get an overview of the destination and particular areas recommend by the author. Hotels, restaurants and so forth will also be set forth. This is particularly good for such establishments as they often can raise their prices above anyone else in the area!

Travel Agent Every travel guide contains a chapter of horrors. The chapter is typically called something like "stay safe" or "a word of caution." In legal terms, these sections are known as the "CYA" area, which stands for "cover your." Reading them is wise, but the editors go just a little overboard.

The 'white coast' is mainland Spain' round holiday area, developed resorts, but the elegant provincial capital Alicante. For cheap flights to Alicante, Onlinetravel.com allows you to compare discounted international airfares from over 500 airlines. Our easy to use flight search engine lets you choose your flight options, select your preferred flight from a clearly displayed list, and book your flight to Alicante online, quickly and securely.

Travel Agents I once took a spontaneous trip to Asia. I literally walked into an airport, purchased a ticket and picked up a travel guide on the way to the gate. As the 19-hour flight got underway, I had the novel idea to actually read something about my travel destinations. Halfway through the horror section, I was ready to hijack the plane and return to Los Angeles. The various disease that were clearly going to kill me included:

Discount Airfares 1. Malaria - Okay, I already knew about this and wasn't that concerned. Fever, the shakes, joint pain - hey, that's traveling!

Travel Deals 2. Japanese Encephalitis - A disease carried by mosquitoes that attacks the brain and causes neurological damage resulting in blindness, paralysis and, well, isn't that enough? I'll never look at Sushi the same way again.

Air Fares 3. Dengue Fever - Carried by mosquitoes that are active in the day, this little bugger does nasty things to your joints and there is no cure. Not to be confused with "disco fever," an equally dangerous disease from the 70's.

Travel Insurance 4. Schistosomiasis - My personal favorite. The larvae of flatworms burrowing into your skin cause this nasty little disease! Visions of the bursting stomach scene from the first Alien movie moved uneasily through my mind.

Travel State Gov Being skeptical, you're undoubtedly thinking such nastiness is specific to Asia. If so, I invite you to explore a travel guide for the location you live in the next time you're blowing time in a bookstore. You might be surprised to learn about the nasty things all around you.

Travel Trailer One of my all time favorites was a warning I read in a travel guide for Brazil. No less than five pages were spent discussing a tiny bug that could be found on the beaches. This aggressive little guy could be expected to burrow under your toenails if you didn't wear shoes on the beach! I have my doubts. I seriously doubt the "Girl from Ipanema" strolled by wearing boots!

Ata Airlines Now, I am not suggesting in any way that you ignore the various health warnings. Read the horror section of your travel guide and form your own opinions. After all, you might be the unlucky soul who gets schistosomiasis.
