Gadlinks for Wednesday 8.5.09

We have some pretty wonderful Wednesday offerings for you faithful Gadling readers — one that comes from our very own blogger, Katie Hammel, so let’s get started!

  • Katie offers you not 10, not 20, but 28 (!!!) ways to save money for traveling. I didn’t even know I spent my money in more ways than one! [via BootsNAll]
  • I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been underwhelmed by a travel destination because my expectations of the place were too high. This article about tourist traps for real travelers helps us understand this phenomenon. [via OpenTravel]
  • Gadling just wrapped up Hotel Month, so I guess I’ve had hotels on the brain. Our witty friends over at Travel Rants give us several things to consider with regard to the future of quality hotel reviews.
  • If you own a Kindle or are willing to lug these doozies around, they make for great travel reads — especially if you’re on a very long journey somewhere. [via Vagablogging]

‘Til tomorrow, have a great evening!
