Connecting Flights: Our Travel Links

If you're reading this journal, we suspect you're not the typical tourist. In which case, you might be interested in what some call "alternative travel," which Transitions Abroad magazine defines as "meeting people, places and cultures on their own terms through active involvement as a guest in the host community rather than as a tourist." Their site offers thousands of listings to help you do just that.
Thinking of going somewhere? Take Grace Slick's advice and "Remember what the Dormouse said: 'Feed your head.'" In other words, combine travel with education. For information on that score, visit the Study Abroad Programs Directory, with links to many relevant resources, slightly more specialized in this regard than the previous listing.
Wherever you're heading, if it's across national borders you'd be wise to get a rough idea of what your money's worth at your destination. Here's a handy Currency Converter to give you a fast answer.
Want to know why you need not just java, but Java? Because without the latter, no matter how wired you are, you can't use a site like Webtrax, which allows you to key in anyone's flight number and, via its graphical flight tracker, see on a map exactly where that person is in the air.
