“Back in the day” before we had access to computers and smart phones, there was basically one way to book a trip – through a travel agent. The travel section of the Sunday paper posted some fascinating trips that I could only dream of taking.
Today, we have so much information at our fingertips, in the comfort of our own home through search engines, such as Google. It’s easy to type in just about anything you want information on and receive a few suggested posts or websites. Once you find an interesting item, bookmark it for future research or information.
Tip: Create a file on your computer for Travel or for a specific trip. This makes it easy to find information that you have previously found to be helpful.
Here are some of the pages that you may find helpful, that I use on a regular basis:
