Useful Information for
Microscopists on Travel
Travel smart and save valuable travel funds!
These are some of my own personal favorite and most often used travel sites
when I decide to head for the airport. Not only has timely information
about the places I am heading saved me a bundle of money, but sometimes it
helps me avoid problems, like being caught in a blizzard in Chicago in
January. Or a sandstorm in Cairo in May. Philosophically, I don't agree that
one should be forced to accept a "cookie" when viewing a website. Some of
these links do require the acceptance of a "cookie" to be viewed. On those
websites, your privacy can not be assured.
Enjoy and Happy Travelling!
