DISQUS

I don't like Lonely Planet that much anyway. I've read a few dozen, and most of them seem oriented towards traveling the cheapest way possible, from the cheapest lodgings to food to activities. Though I have flipped through travel guides in a library before traveling for some ideas, I wouldn't buy one (I guess I am cheap after all).

I couldn't agree more. I think that the information you could gather on the Internet before a trip, combined with what you get from fellow travelers and locals is all you need for a fantastic trip.

I don't often use guidebooks for anything other than basic information and maps. For food and hostels, I usuaully just find them on my own or ask other people. But guidebooks can be helpful with maps and to give you a general idea of the city.

I just wrote about the airlines in the states. stop on by and take a look! How long are u in OZ for?

I think travel guides do have a place but mostly as pre-trip resources to give a better idea about where you're going. As you mention, one of the biggest problems with travel guides is too many travelers look at them as the gospel of what they have to do and see - as opposed to being a travel resource along with Web sites, advice from friends, travelers, and, most important, you own sense of adventure.
