“Fodor’s 1,001 Smart Travel Tips” ($9.95, Fodor’s Travel Publications) is a small but densely packed volume of ideas covering everything from packing to booking a cruise, staying safe in a foreign country to car travel with kids. The back of the book covers specific popular destinations, including etiquette, tipping conventions and sight-seeing highlights, and the packing checklists are useful. Chapters are loaded with helpful travel suggestions titled “Word of Mouth” from Fodor’s online faithful. With plenty of website links and other resources, this is indeed a smart gift for a young traveler about to head out on that first European backpack or other worldly adventure.
