[Travelandtourism] A reqquest from National Braille Press

[Ted Shelly]

Hello,

I recently received the request below from NBP.  I explained that I am not
the moderator of the NFB Travel and Tourism list, but I promised to pass the
request on.  If there is someone in charge of this list and/or the NFB
division, Diane would appreciate a reply at mailto:dcroft at nbp.org

Hi Ted,
 
We are getting ready to publish Wendy David's new book, "Sites Unseen:
Traveling the World Without Sight" (copyright 2010). There is an extensive
resource list in the back. We would like to include your travel and tourism
list serv. I assume it would go best in the chapter on Social Travel
Networks. I include a few sample listings. If you would like to be included,
please send me a short blurb. There is no charge. Thanks, Diane
 
Chapter 18
Get Connected: Social-Travel Networks
Social networking is a popular way to connect with others, and it is no
different in the travel arena. Here are some sites to help you connect with
other travelers of like minds, interests, and even budgets. The first list
is geared specifically for people with disabilities; the second includes
more general networking sites. They may all offer some interesting
information and insights to the world of travel.
