Are you still using a travel agent to book your airfares, vacation packages, and hotels?  Did you know that you could save a lot of money by researching, comparing prices, and booking your choices on the World Wide Web?  No one knows if you are really getting the best deal through a travel agent, even with those agents who have worked with you for some time, remember, they do receive a commission.  Using the Internet to find the best deal might take a few minutes out of your day but you are in total control of how much money you want to spend and know exactly to where it is going.
