Booking Travel Online 

There are two basic ways to book travel arrangements. One is to book all componets seperately. The second is to buy a travel package. If you book componets seperately, you can mix and match air travel, hotels or car rentals as needed. Travel packages are best if you are planning to fly to your destination and stay at a hotel or resort. Travel packages often let you take advantage of special low, unpublished, negotiated airfare that can only be sold together with accomodations as a package deal. Some great websites to book you travels with are: www.Orbitz.com, www.Travel.com, and www.Expedia.com. 

If your travel takes you to a foreign nation it is important to be aware of any immunization requirements you may need. The National Center for Infectious Diseases website can give you travel health precautions, info on safe food and water, etc. The web address is www.cdc.gov/travel. Also, don't forget your passport! 

Are you traveling with children or pets? Planning in advance will alleviate an undue stress on both of you. Make sure ypur children have things to do that will occupy them on a long flight and snacks, as most airlines don't provide much in the way of meals any longer
