Thanks for your reply, you've said exactly what I was thinking, and that's often what I prefer to do.
Being of the generation that is never without my phone, though, I of course started to look for an app that could emulate this experience and help find the locals that were best suited to give the advice we were looking for...what if the best tip just walked out the bar 5 minutes before you got there?
I missed my chance to be literate enough with computers to build something like this myself, but I've been thinking a lot about whether or not something like this would be a feasible project, and wanted to get some feedback first.
I appreciate you taking the time to reply,

Destinations....."That a way"
Stay a week and then move on
After setting up we would go find a local 'watering hole' and strike up a conversation with the locals.
They would give us tips/info on where to go, what to see, where to eat and MORE importantly what was a big waste of time/monies
For 7 yrs it worked GREAT for us.......
Plain ole face to face conversations!
