Hi, I’m using ebooktravelguides.com to search for ebook versions of Lonely Planet travel guides, but which bookstore shall I buy from - Amazon or direct from Lonely Planet?

If you follow the link on ebooktravelguides.com for Lonely Planet you have a choice of buying guidbooks or phrase books from either Amazon or Lonely Planet direct. If you buy from Amazon, you must have an Amazon Kindle Reader. If you buy from Lonely Planet, I think you can read them on a few different readers such as Sony, BeBook, Nook etc.

i want to go fishing tomorrow in my neighborhod canal for some peacock bass. I go all the time but i want to know around what time odf the day is the best time of day to fish for them. any other tips would help alot . Thanks !
Pretty much all day. Mornings and evenings would probably be your best times to go, but afternoons are good too. If you watch peacock bass videos on youtube, you’ll see guys catching them in the middle of the day. As for tips? Use heavy tackle and heavy-duty lures, a big peacock bass will tear apart and knock the piss out of standard lures.

And peacock bass are nothing like largemouths. They are a whole ‘nother species. Peacocks are a cichlid, largemouths are a sunfish…

Hi, I use ebooktravelguides.com to buy ebook versions of the Rough Guide for my Amazon Kindle. But does anyone know if I can buy Rough Guide for the Sony Reader?

Kindle vs Sony Reader

Sony Reader is one of the cheapest Ebook reader. But they dont have a good selection of books and also they are much more expensive.

Kindle is definitely an amazing device. Its worth the money.You can put ebooks/notes/audio books on your kindle also Notes and annotations are very easy to make.Very easy to use with the PC and the Mac Kindle is very straight forward there’s no need for additional software required for Kindle. Also supports you can also increase the text size which is again amazing.E-INK screen technology that don’t glare in any light so no strain to eyes and less harmful. There are wide range of books on kindle many are free and other are cheaper at price than the actual books so yes I have saved a lot of money till now.
You dont have to carry now all those heavy actual books, kindle is so light weight which is carrying almost 1500 books within it. Since I travel a lot I really like the 3G Internet you can get the internet wherever you go. Whenever you are tired of reading you can also you Text-To-Speech with auto-page turning feature which is jst so relaxing. If the small size strains your eyes a lot than can also change the text-size. I must say Kindle is a small magic books really I cant live without it.

Amazon Kindle

Is this dress okay for formal night on a carnival cruise?
http://www.amazon.com/Strapless-Cocktail-Party-Junior-Dress/dp/B0032RJYKK/ref=pd_sbs_a_37

I just got off a two week long cruise 3 days ago…we had 3 formal nights- I would say that cruising has become less formal than it was in the past.
Your dress would be fine for the formal night, but it may be a bit on the short side ( I don’t think so, but some of the older guests on board might think so)….most people wear longer dresses or pants with a fancy top.

If you love the dress wear it though! There aren’t too many rules for clothing on cruise ships anymore- they just don’t want to see you walking into the dining room in shorts, jeans or nasty dirty clothes!

Enjoy your trip!

I’m planning to travel to Brazil, and my destination is going to be Rio de janeiro, but I want to go to the amazon river for an adventure. How long does it take to get to the amazon river from Rio de janeiro?

Also if you guys have any tips or advices on how to spend two weeks vacation in Brazil, I’d really appreciate it. I’m interested in beaches, camping and hiking. Do you think Rio de janeiro have all that? I never been so I don’t have any ideas.

It’s about 5 to 6 hours by plane from Rio to the Amazon region, often with a layover in Brasilia.

You can either fly inland to Manaus, or visit the mouth of the Amazon River in the city of Belem, which would also give you a chance to visit Ilha de Marajó, the largest freshwater island in the world (nearly as big as Switzerland). If you go to Manuas, be prepared for a big city, which you’ll need to get away from if you’re interested in seeing the wildlife.

There is a lot to do and see in Rio (Corcovado, Sugarloaf, Ipanema, etc), but I’d also suggest either going a couple hours north (by bus) to Búzios (great beach), or a couple of hours south (by bus) to Parati, which is 300-year-old fishing village at the edge of the Atlantic Rainforest, surrounded by dozens of islands. It’s one of my favorite places in Brazil.

If you want to camp/hike, you should also check out Ilha Grande, which is a few hours south of Rio. It’s off-limits to cars, and there are about 100 miles of trails for hiking. Very cool.

Have fun!

I was looking at buying a unlocked verizon Blackberry Tour 9630 from amazon.com. it is only $230.00 and I was just wondering if I got rid of my crappy enV 3 and switched to the blackberry but kept my same line and phone number and everything would they charge me for switching phones? I know you have to get a data plan, but other than that do they charge you?

No there is no charge to switch phones. Keep in mind that the phone will have no warranty whatsoever..

I have known for months that I was traveling to Peru to visit a friend. I will be there for 10 days and we were going to hang out in Lima and then the rest of the time in Mancora hanging out at the beach. I am leaving in almost a week and now my friend has changed his mind and says we are now going to Iquitos in the Amazon because he has never been. The problem is I have never had a Yellow Fever vaccine and the CDC website states you should get recommended vaccines 4-6 weeks before your travels. There are tons of other vaccines that are recommended including Hep A which you can get from food and water. Since I am leaving in such a short time there is no way the vaccines would take affect by the time I am there.

Now I’m a little nervous and I am wondering since I don’t have vaccines what I can do to protect myself. Obviously bug spray and long sleeves and pants. We may do a tour of the Amazon–nothing hardcore and we may also tour Belen. Any good suggestions on protection, how often should bug repellent be applied, what kind of shoes are appropriate? I know to drink only bottled water and to stay away from food from street vendors, but is there any particular food or meat I should avoid at the restaurants in Iquitos?

Please answer if you live, have lived, or traveled to or around this area. Thanks!

I’ve been staying in Lima for about 2 months, and was in Buenos Aires for the 2 months before that. I didn’t get yellow fever or Hep A, and luckily nothing’s happened to me. I recently traveled into the rainforest from Iquitos and even though I got TONS of mosquito bites (seriously, they’re relentless) I don’t think I’ve got the fever. That being said, there’s free clinics in Lima where you can get the shot.

I’d recommend you bring rubber boots to the amazon with you. The lodge I was staying at provided us with them. You’re going to be trudging around a lot of mud, and it’ll protect your ankles from bug bites. I put both lotion and DEET spray on, and I was still getting bitten. In addition, try to wear long pants and long sleeves whenever you can. Have fun!
