The Traveling Bug

There are many aspects of technology that I find to be extraordinarily useful in my life but probably one of the biggest is the benefits of doing research on travel.  As I was reading through travel information on Greece this morning, it reminds me that there being to solicit opinion, read reviews and compare prices have made self-booking travel to be feasible.

No longer are we required to visit the travel agent, from start to stop, the whole experience can be investigated, managed and booked without human intervention if desired.   The biggest advantage of this though is that it gives the prospective traveler the opportunity to play "what if" and look at the myriad of options available in terms of costs, itineraries, flights and accommodations and to build the best package for them!
