lostgirlsworld is the epitome of practical travel information. The mission of the writers was to inform and educate in a light hearted writing style that draws the reader in. We learned how to conceptualize the travel plan, how to organize an acceptable itinerary(for one or more) and how to carry it through to fruition. Each and every aspect and detail was revealed by these savy travelers. The reader learned the tips and secrets of packing light, cost efficiency, what to avoid to stay healthy and safe, how to find amazing not-so-traveled places and so much more. This blog was extremely informative for the not so seasoned traveler as well as the more experienced looking for new adventures. The commentary was hilarious and just as informative as the practical information. Super travel blog. The Best of 2006
