Train, Car, and Ferry Travel

Most travel agency sites, like Travelocity, will be more

than happy to help you find many different modes of
transportation besides flights. If you are driving or

traveling by train or ferry, however, you might need
some more specialized information and attention. If

you're planning to drive, there are numerous sites,
such as the various map sites (for example,

MapQuest, Yahoo! Local, and Manorama), that will

provide you with routes, directions, travel times and
other information. If you're taking a train or ferry,
you'll need timetables, accommodation information,

and other details that are often easier to find on the

Web than elsewhere.
Getting Cruises

If you haven't noticed, these days the cruises are
"hot" (or "cool," or de rigueur, if you like). But take it

from someone who was a skeptic: If you haven't been
on a cruise yet, chances are that when you come

home from your first one, you'll be contemplating
another one. There are lots of hot websites for

cruises, as with almost any hot topic. "Cruises," of
course, can mean much more than a holiday aboard

a gigantic (but amazing) 1,000-foot-long floating
resort. It can also mean a cruise down the Danube, a

week on a French barge or a trip aboard a

Mississippi paddle wheeler. But it might not be a
good idea in these times of global pandemic taking
cruises, as most of the cruises planned for the

summer have been cancelled and it would take a

few months before they start rolling again.
