Have you ever checked into a hotel in an unfamiliar town. If you have a night to kill before the meeting or tour the next day you want something to do rather than watch pay-per-view. The hotels provide textbook-thick information guides on the desk in the room but you might as well leaf through an encyclopedia for all the help these are. And besides, the retaurants and entertainment operations in the book are probably advertisers that pay the hotel to be in there. In other words there is no personal connection with the businesses in this boat anchor to give you the skinny on the best places to go.

For travel to Halifax,  Nova Scotia there is a site that is has it all on one page: Infomonkey.net has been carefully building up alliances with the best entertainment places in the province and has articles, blogs and testimonials that can put you in the best places in the city. The site is easy to navigate. When it first pops up  you can grab a category that takes you to any section in which you may want to dig deeper. For example, in the “Movies” section you not only have a list of movies playing in the city you also get a review by top movie critic Ron Foley MacDonald who gets out to see every one of them. Now, this is first-hand info from a native who loves films.

When you click “Restaurants” you can see evaluations of the various eating places in Halifax by impartial writers and bloggers. You can browse by type of food, price and even issues. For example, one post is “Where are all the good street food vendors?” After this post there is a comment section for someone else to contribute, maybe you.

As Infomonkey.net grows the amount of content available will sizable as will the actual feed back from real people. And what better way is there to get to know a place than to hear from them.

And all this is available on one neat site!

One of the most user-friendly sites n the tourism genera is Nova Scotia’s Official Tourism Site. From the first click the site lets you adjust the text size and choose between three languages: English, French and German. The next handy item on the page is showing the events going on fo the time of the year. For example if you clicked on in the fall wanting to know what’s going on in Nova Scotia you would be given these options:

Leaf Watch: The site lists what is going on under this heading in chronological order. Almost every day there are “leaf sightings” that tell the travelers just getting where to go for the next burst of autumn color. Why is this important? Well, if you are here to view the autumn leaves – like tens of thousands of people do – you want to be on top of things because a few hours of a stiff autumn wind and many of them disappear before you can get your camera out. And if you do miss them you can find posted images of what the scenery looked like on a certain day.

Fall for the Arts: This link tells you where to find some of Nova Scotia’s premier arts spectaculars like Drum, Celtic Colours International Festival, the Atlantic Film Festival and Halifax Pop Explosion.

In other parts of the site you can information on how to plan a trip to Nova Scotia complete with a phto tour and photo gallery.

Whenever I’m asked about what to do in Nova Scotia I always send people to this site. This is because it is so self-explanatory and for me to try and look up everything they want would take me hours. I have done that for years and after a while it gets pretty old. Oh, not Nova Scotia, just the process of trying to make sure these fine people get the most out of their trip. Now, the guess work is gone. I just direct them to this site.

So even you don’t plan on coming here for a while give the site a spin and get used to the hndreds of options.
