Most United States provide information via the World Wide Web that is comparable or better than printed guides. By using the Web, you eliminate the days of waiting for information, you can explore different areas that you were unaware of, and you don't have to deal with pesky operators with thick Texas accents. This four part series will look at various places to gather information about tourism and travel on the Web. The first series will highlight the states of Alabama through Kansas. The second, Kentucky through North Dakota. The third, Ohio through Wyoming. The fourth will highlight international travel. Complete Travel Sources City.Net http://www.city.net C.D.I.
