BestTimeToGo.com helps you figure when to go
So you want to go to Botswana but don't know when to plan your trip? I found out by going to BestTimeToGo.com, a website that helps travelers figure out when to go where.
What's hot: Pull-down menus and an interactive map make it easy to find temperature and rainfall figures with charts and breakdowns by month and week. The site also offers city profiles that give average costs per day for tourists based on three-star choices.
What's not: Listings are thin. France had only five cities to choose from, and Bristol, England, had no listings under food or services. The videos link to YouTube. And if you are wondering, climate-wise, the best time to visit Botswana is May through August.
 Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up. |
