For those planning on traveling abroad this summer: contacting the Government Tourist Offices, (usually located in NYC), will provide you with a wealth of info: discounts, maps, schedules, special tours, bed & breakfast accommodations, etc. Be specific as to what info you want; otherwise you may be missing out on some great stuff! Tourist Office tel. nos. are available in travel guides, _Background Notes of Countries of the World_ (for current info about a country from the U.S. State Dept.), _The National Directory of Addresses and Telephone Numbers_ (can't exist without this resource!), etc. Another tip: try experiencing the culture by selecting smaller accommodations (bed & breakfast, pension); it is like being a guest in someone's home. Best wishes for a marvelous summer! Mary Kendall Calvert High Media Center mkendall@umd5.umd.edu 600 Dares Beach Road (410) 535-7347 Prince Frederick, MD 20678
