Accuweather.com 5.m-w.com (merrium-webster, 'cause words are fun!) I thought 5 would be tough, but it is actually a little restrictive. -------------------- This is all I got.

The 5th wasn't so as now I've found that the 5th really is a heap different sites. I'd say the 5th listed would probably win. 1: travelpod.com 2: hotmail.com 3: passplanet.com 4: google.com.au 5: china.org.cn (that or a choice between assorted efl, tesol sites) -------------------- http://www.travelpod.com/members/eddakath Grab a beer N click here Who knows, maybe you'll stay awhile

I use it for quick facts. It's sort of the first of layers of info for me. If I want to dig deeper into something then I go onto other sites depending on what I want to know and what Wiki offers. I use Wiktionary alot too. -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future. Today is a gift - which is why they call it the present.'

You'll get a kick out of this Keith, it's Canada in the Uncyclopedia.. Pretty funny stuff. -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future.

Tourist Group: Members Posts: 503 Joined: 30-August 05 From: Bristol, UK Member No.: 232	For a little twist, here are five decent travel websites I can highly recommend: 1. travelindependent.info - more info than you could shake a stick at. The primary source I used for my RTW trip. 2. seat61.com - the train guru; don't look anywhere else. This chap knows his overland onions and never once comes off as a boring train spotter. 3. travmonkey.com - blog run by a backpacker, full of interesting and original content. 4. sleepinginairports.com - highly original and informative site if you, er, need to sleep in an airport. 5. travelpod.com - Has the sexiest maps out of all of the travel blog sites -------------------- steve

Globetrotter Group: Members Posts: 254 Joined: 7-June 06 From: Keeanada Eh? Member No.: 2939	In order, everytime I get on tha intarwebnet at some 'rustic' cafe fourloves.blogspot.com www.gmail.com/login www.travelpod.com/forums conceptofirony.blogspot.com en.wikipedia.org The bad thing about three and five are that you can endlessly click links all day to no other end than filling your head with (non)sense. I'd recommend www.everything2.com to everyone - the original, and far more addictive wikipedia. I am almost ashamed to admit, steve, I've used the airport sleeping site more than once. -------------------- MacK the Knife "When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep" - Gibran
