Review: No matter what travel guides you use, don't go without this one

I read Wynn's book on Hong Kong and got this because he did such a great job with that book. If I can actually get together our trip to Southeast Asia, now I don't see how I can be in that part of the world without taking in Singapore. True to form for these great guides, the interactive links to sources outside the book are a significant part of the value. Being able to click on a link in your travel guide with it up on your smart phone and have it go into GPS navigation is awesome. It connects your travel guide to the real practice of getting to your point of interest or hotel or whatever. I like this because it keeps the travel guide relevant in the event that the linked site is updated. Incredibly important and absolutely necessary to pay attention to is the section on what to take with you. Wynn writes from the authority of personal experience when he writes about how to make sure your smart phone works, ensuring your currency is converted, getting through customs, and managing airports and transportation. Pay attention and take heed. Having traveled abroad, I can assure the reader and first-time traveler that these are the things you don't mess around with because it can make the difference between and excellent trip and a miserable one. Even if you use other travel guides, definitely go with One-Two-Go. You'll be thanking Michael Wynn.
