Best Travel Web-Sites
As the popularity of traffic on internet sites increases, record number users in the U.S log on daily for a variety of reasons. Many top sites are travel related. As we sit in our cubicle or are up late sipping tea after everyone else is asleep, we appease our dream of faraway places by searching for that perfect vacation. For the “do-it-yourselfers”, surfing through pages after a Google entry can seem daunting.
Allow me to ease the pain by providing some top sites for you. Many of you are familiar with sites like: www.expedia.com, www.travelocity.com, www.orbitz.com, etc. Be aware that you might not always be getting the best information on hotel ratings or even best pricing. Beware of service fees and if you have a problem after making your reservation, have patience with their toll free line staff. Ask to see your quote in writing/email format before paying in full, which they require for any reservation.
I’ll follow up with some reason to consider contacting a Travel Professional if it becomes too much to handle. By the way, most agencies should be able to match any online travel quote for your vacation package. Just ask......
