Some friends and I are planning a trip to New York in a couple of months and I have started looking at things to do as well as cheap flights, city tours etc.  I just started thinking ,wow, how hard would all of this trip planning be if I still only had dial-up internet.  The way things are, I can find the cheapest flight, book my flight, print my ticket all from my computer.  I can also schedule the exact city tour I need to see exactly what I want to see while I am in New York in what seems to be the short amount of time we will be there.  Even more exciting I can find great deals on Broadway shows.  If I still had dial-up I actually don’t know that I would ever get to go because it would take up too much of my time to plan for the trip.  That is actually a little bit of a joke, but there is a lot of since in it.  How did we ever survive in our daily lives without high-speed internet access, let alone plan for major trips and vacations.
