Juice: the answer is no. You can't browse to Wikitravel over 3G.

Also, just so you know, Wikitravel is not and never has been "part of the wikipedia project" - it is now privately owned by Internet Brands, Inc. A fork (copy of existing content) of Wikitravel was created this past August and merged with Wikivoyage, which is now part of the Wikimedia Foundation which is the nonprofit that also runs Wikipedia. So if you're looking for the real open-source, copy-left community created travel wiki, you'll find it at Wikivoyage, not Wikitravel.

And no, you can't get Wikivoyage on the Kindle with 3G either, at least not yet.
