Get to know your destination before you arrive

Have you seen a site called Virtual Tourist? I had bookmarked it quite a bit earlier so that I could have a look at it, and only today got to spend some time there. It seems to be quite a friendly site and is mostly created by users themselves, so looks like a good place to get information straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. The site has obviously been around for ages, since there are members who have joined way back in 2003. The information on each destination is organized by accommodation, things to do, transportation, things to be wary of and so on. Once you have an idea of where you want to go, this seems to be a good place to head to, so you can get some opinions from real people who have visited the place.
