subject: The Best Way To Take A Vacation [print this page] Everybody deserves to take a vacation; however, making plans in advance is very important. An unplanned vacation can be a horrible nightmare. How does one go about planning the ideal vacation? We probably needed to go over to the local travel agent and spend a few hours with him and collect all the brochures and leaflets before we could even start to think about planning.
We had to take our long deserved vacation and this time my girlfriend wanted to go on a cruise to some exotic locations that we had never even dreamed of. The idea itself was great, but how does one go about it? We need to choose a destination and select the best cruise line, do a lot of shopping, maybe plan and arrange the finances. The list seemed to be endless and I almost gave up. Maybe I could make a few phone calls to collect the information as I did not have much time to spare. After half a dozen calls, Id got nowhere; people just didnt seem to understand what I wanted. All the agents wanted to do was to sell a package and get their money. How does one go about collecting the much needed information order to take off?
I got the answer from a good friend of mine who took time and introduced me to a whole new world through ATT U Verse Internet. Its just amazing how much information you have access to and the time it takes to collect the details is unbelievable. For instance, I checked out the offer from a cruise line, complete with pictures and details of the accommodation, the safety measures incorporated in the ship and the medical facilities available, and the general layout about where and how you could find the movie house, the swimming pool, the bars and restaurants and tennis courts and many more
At the click of the mouse, I was transported to the actual ports of call and it was like actually being there already. There were short videos showing the verdant beaches of this tropical Island, the unexplored trekking areas, the casinos, the bars, and the restaurants offering exotic cuisine. The map online actually helped me to trace the exact sea route we would be taking and that made it all the more exciting. There was also this fabulous offer for booking the cruise online which gave me a cool discount. When it came to the money part, I checked out another portal that offered to pay for my vacation and allowed me to pay in equated monthly installments with a very nominal charge of interest. There is no doubt that Internet has revolutionized the way we look at the world, I mean literally. I could actually picture ourselves lazing on the beach with azure sky overhead and the gulls and waves keeping us company. Man! This is going to be some vacation, and to think that I had not budged out of home to do this is just amazing. I actually got to view my tickets online and could make the payment through the Internet and even have copies printed out. We were all set to go and an important decision that I had already made was to get a High-Speed Internet connection as soon as we got back from the vacation.
