> Back to normal travelers - I wish there were a free wiki that covered all this, since it seems like it's just a matter of having the right information. Like knowing which office to go in, what forms to have ready, etc. I guess it'd be more targeted towards casual travelers who won't pay $200 for this kind of service.

I went on an extended backpacking trip recently across 5 continents, and Wikitravel was unbelievably invaluable. Because it's a wiki, it has all the tiny up-to-date details that you're not going to find on more professionally-produced websites, right down to sidestepping tourist rip-offs like "if you go around the corner to XYZ plaza when you land, you can get a taxi for $20 cheaper than taking it from the airport".
