freestuff and figured i would post it here since it took so much effort to get it this far.---
anybody wanting vaction ideas? then i have got ever thing you need right here. good stuff for home schoolers and students shopping for colleges as well. free tourism information for every state we have (except canada >:-)). some of the pages do not really do that good of a job in describing what they send you. and most send you a state map even if they dont say so. this is good. i like maps. the maps they send are often the same quality or better as those found in stores. and they are free. some of the states send worldwide, some send only to select countries and some send only to the us and canada. sorry for not detailing it next to each link but that requires effort. and i didnt think to do it until i was half way done. all links go straight to order form (except one possible case where i puts you where you need to start) and they all open in new windows. have fun folks.
