Amazon Ecosight

I found a lot on Amazon but I’m from France so I can’t check them up.

I would like a tiny travel guide which includes maps, bus lines, car rental, and many tips (not really fancy restaurants & hotels) and, if possible, some information on Olympia.

Thanks for you help, sorry for my english.
Thank you for your answers and these really good websites.

However I’m looking for a paper guide (book size) to carry out wich includes maps and bus lines. Any idea ?

Well Seattle has it own travel site you can browse that and get the required information there only. But I can surely suggest you car rental site that offer good cars at cheap rates. You can log on to http://www.usacarsrental.com/ . You will get car at best discounts and deals here only.

Are there any stores that sell those smaller travel mini fridges for $50 or less? I don’t want to order it online because I need it very soon. I’m looking for one similar to this one

Thanks.

Check with local sporting goods stores, camping stores, and RV or camper supplies. You should find something at one of them.

I am looking to fly from the east coast of the US to western Europe with my pet bird, an Amazon parrot. I’d rather NOT use cargo or checked luggage services, but if you have any information or experinece with these options, please feel free to share.

Pets As Carry On
Your pet can travel with you in the cabin for a one-way fee of $75 (to be collected at check-in) when traveling within the United States (except Hawaii), Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Pets permitted in the cabin include dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. Monkeys, pot-bellied pigs, reptiles, frogs, mice, rats, sugar gliders, and spiders are not permitted. The following restrictions apply:

Your pet must be small enough to fit comfortably in a kennel under the seat directly in front of you. Maximum carry-on kennel dimensions are determined by your flight. You must contact Delta Reservations to determine the appropriate kennel size.
Your pet must remain inside the kennel (with door secured) while in a Delta boarding area (during boarding and deplaning), a Delta airport lounge, and while onboard the aircraft.
Your pet must be at least 8 weeks old.
You may not carry on more than one pet.
Your pet in-cabin counts as one piece of carry-on baggage.
If you’re traveling to Hawaii, your pet won’t be able to go with you in the cabin, and other restrictions may apply. See Pets to Hawaii for more information.

Also, Delta limits the number of pets per flight to:

Class Number of Pets Allowed
First Class 1
BusinessElite® 1
Main Cabin 2

Pets are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Call Delta in advance at 800-221-1212 to arrange to bring your pet on board.

I need to order a travel backpack from the amazon uk website cause i live in england but my parents who live in america will be paying for it. am i able to use their credit card or does it need to be an english one??
I’m not doing this without my parents permission, they know I’m going to buy it, My dad just wasn’t sure if he could use his american credit card to buy something off of a uk website

As far as i know yes you can with your parents permission but they wouldn’t know if you did it over the computer.
Just be honest & don’t use it for more than you are permitted to use it for.

I’m wanting to travel to the amazon next year and so i’m just getting all my stuff figured out. What city close to there will I be able to stay in and then bus/backpack/boat/fly out of to go explore? I’ve been to Peru before so I know the landscape, etc. but I’m wanting to go to the Brazilian amazon now. What do you have for me? thanks.

In first place when you think in Brazilian Amazon doesn’t think about bus, think about boat, in Amazon highways hardly exist 90% of the transport of people and of load it is done in boats, the rivers are the highways of Amazon. We have a state called Amazon however the Amazonian area understands several states, the larger two are Amazonas and Pará. If you will visit that area you can begin for Manaus, capital of Amazon or Belém capital of Pará.

It seems that when they show tribes living in the middle of nowhere on the Travel Channel, the people seem to have a more "true" happiness than the average person living in a city and working.

Yes, from studies I have seen in the past the more advanced our society becomes the more depressed we get, the less we start to focus on the important things such as relationships and family and more of the little things like work, money, television shows, having fancy things-nice cars, name brand clothes, ETC, causing us to focus more on work and losing sight with our peer relationships. They also have to work for everything they do and get, physical labor and activity releases endorphins, because they don’t focus on the american dream they have more time for people, loved ones, friends, and peer relationships. Nor do they have tv shows, commercials, and billboards to try to sell them products to make them beautiful so they never take the time to think about how ugly or fat or whatever they are, thus ensuring they have higher self esteem, and less depression/

Hi, I want to download a couple of eyewitness travel guides to my laptop from www.ebooktravelguides.com - should I buy them direct from Dorkling Kindersley or via Amazon.com and download the kindle reader app?

I prefer to buy eyewitness travel guides from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D13%26ref_%3Dnb%5Fsb%5Fnoss%26y%3D26%26field-keywords%3DEyewitness%2520Travel%2520Guides%2520kindle%2520edition%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dstripbooks&tag=digitsy-marina-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

I am going to my nans house, and they have no internet. I was thinking of buying a wireless travel router like this :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-WGR101-54Mbps-Wireless-Travel/dp/B0007SQEQY
how do they work? can you plug it in and go or do you need an access point for it to feed off?.
(e.g. BTHomeHub-21F7)

That particular model; is just a very small router, ethernet to wireless.

For the "no internet" situation, there are routers which take a 3G wireless mobile dongle, or which take a Sim card for mobile broadband

The MiFi from 3 is a prime example - maybe some of the others have similar 3G to wireless system

Alternatively, for a single machine, just get a pay as you go dongle - shop around and look up network coverage.
