HOT TRAVEL TIPS
One of the Best Beaches in Mexico
La Paz, California Baja ~ Not far from Cabo San Lucas, La Paz has great
swimming and fishing in the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez.
Recommended by Michelle in San Diego, California.
Cheap Eats in Argentina
Possibly the best bargain in Buenos Aires and Argentina are the restaurants.
You can enjoy a full meal with wine for as little as $4. It's going to be hard to
spend more than $10 per person at any of the many, really great restaurants.
Recommended by Veronica in Hamburg, Germany.
Good Manners While Visiting Thailand
Women should wear clothing that covers their arms and legs when visiting
temples in Thailand. If you arrive wearing a t-shirt and shorts, don't be
surprised or offended if you are asked to wear a shawl and sarong to cover
your bare skin.
Recommended by Patty in London, England.
Save Big in Portland, Oregon
If you are planning an overnight stay in Portland, check out the Portland
Oregon Visitors Association website for some big hotel savings. If you book on
their website you can get free parking and free continental breakfast included in
the lowest price around for that particular hotel.
Recommended by Olga in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Check out Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok. You will probably need a

people wander around this market each weekend. Wear good walking shoes,
as it is spread out over 35 acres, and there are over 15,000 shops and stalls.
