STORE YOUR TRAVEL DOCUMENTS with Lonely Planet's FREE on-line
Travel Vault. Storing details
of your important documents in the vault is the best option if you travel
in a country with easy Internet access. Your password-protected vault is
accessible on line at anytime. Create your own vault at
www.ekno.lonelyplanet.com.
I created a vault and it is very easy. They even have a service which allows
family & friends to leave you e-mail and voice mail at ekno...you
can send your friends the instructions from on-site. I have not yet done
it, but I imagine you can scan & upload copies of your documents to the
vault. Try it, it's great! Aloha, Cherry Sciotto of Oahu 12

London The internet cafe near Victoria Station was great. Good
location, nice people, computers that worked, good coffee and the appearance
of being a somewhat stable business that will be there for a while. Having
an internet hook up really made a difference for us. On my next trip I'm
going to make more
of an effort to line up such cafes (do they still exist and if so
their location in relation to where we will be staying, etc) in all of the
places that I will be going.. Marlee 14 June 99

We did not find steves' italian/french/german
phrase
book to be too useful. It would probably be much better coupled with
a good dictionary (english/whatever and visa versa). Marlee

(His indivudual phrase books for each country DO HAVE
the English to language and visa versa dictionaries plus my favorite section
--the menue decoder. Unfortuneately the "3 Languages in one book" you
mentioned, doesn't at this time--I guess that is what keeps it slimed
down. Thanks for your input Marlee--Mele.)

Call home for approximately 5 cents a minute from Italy. A
transplanted American passed on this money saving tip. She said she
uses the Europa International phone card to call the US. She said she
finds them at magazine and tobacco shops. Tip passed on Oct
2001
A Phone Tip for travelers in
Denmark: You can buy a phone card here, but you may have trouble finding
a public phone that will accept it. They only seem to be around railway stations
and other public squares. The common public phones are coin phones.
Also, the numbers on the phones are upside down from the USA, and the 0 is
NOT in the middle, so watch what you dial. Also, they're NOT all the same
here. They don't give refunds for wrong numbers. Another tip: start with
the minimum amount (usually 1DKK) but have more change ready to add quickly,
because you don't get a warning when your time is up, except 2 beeps then
dead silence. You've been disconnected! Jim Swensen (from
his June '99 Road Reports)
Phone calls, even local ones are charged by the length of call and
ate up our phone cards. Michele Crye
