Travel Guides Online

If you are going to spend more than a day in any

city or more than a few days in any country,
break down and buy a good travel guide— the

book kind. These are the "dream machine" of a
traveler, more portable than a computer and

many will fit into your pocket. Even if your travel
guide isn't pocket-sized, keep it on your

nightstand and spend a couple of minutes with
it every night before you start to doze off.

However, no matter how long you plan to stay at
any destination, you should take advantage of

the free guides available on the internet for

virtually every country, for nearly any city, and
for thousands of specific museums, monuments,

and other sights.
Flight reservations

Reservation sites are the best-known category

of travel sites, where you can go to find rates
and schedules, and book reservations. They

include the sites of online travel agencies as
well as airline sites, hotel chains, and car rental

chains. Though real live travel agents have
generally done a great job of making travel

arrangements for decades, the Internet has
changed the picture drastically. Online booking

sites make it easy for a person to explore an

extremely wide range of options about where
and when to go and how much to pay. These
sites make it easy to buy tickets quickly too.
