What should you look for in an Online Travel Site?


Let's look at what you get when you plan and select your Travel Online.

Is it worthwhile? Does it save? How could purchasing Travel Online enhance my vacation? What value does it bring? Will it make my life easier?

The answer (in Southern Alabama) is ..."Well, I rek'n so!"

Look, let's analyze this for a minute. What are all the things you need when planning a Family Vacation, Cruise, Reunion, or Romantic Get-A-Way? Let's list some of them first, then find a site (like yBoggle.com) where you can go to find everything at one time.

1. First, we need our Transportation, by air, land or sea.
2. Next, we need our Accomodations - Hotel, Condo perhaps, or luxurious Resort
3. Then we may need a Rental Car ...or why not a Limo!
4. Unless it is and All-Inclusive Vacation, we will need some reservations at Fine Restaurants at our target location.
5. We may want to do some Sightseeing Tours, right? Let's book those at the same time.
6. New clothes, specially picked for this Special Holiday may be called for. Order them online! shop on line
7. Don't forget your Passport, or maybe a Visa is also required to travel to our Ultimate Dream Location. There are some sites where you can do this Online!
8. Travel Insurance - If you are spending more than $1,000 on the cost of your Travel YOU NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE. (See my previous Post, "Why You Need Travel Insurance")
9. Currency Exchange - Wouldn't it be more convenient to have some of the Local Currency for your Foreign Vacation spot, before you arrive?
10. If it's a Golf Vacation you want, wouldn't it be great to have the Tee Time included in your Package?
11. If the trip coincides with a Concert, Sports Event or Theater Play you should be able to get your tickets for that at the same time as your Flight and Hotel, right?

Check out yboggle and see where you can get everything on one site, at the most competetive prices, and have someone to actually talk to to get details.

Let us know where are you going next! We would love to hear from you!
