QotD: Stranger in a Strange Land
When you travel, do you use a guidebook so that you're well prepared, or do you go without much prior knowledge so that you're surprised?

Guidebook? I scour the internet, Craigslist forums, and whatever online resources I can find online. If I can find a forum locals use, so much the better as they would know the ins and outs of their hometown, what's a must-see and what's a tourist trap. We travel with too much information and then pick and choose what we do once we get there. I do try of making a point of getting lost at least once because that's how serendipitous things happen.
