Best Travel Tools for Trip Planning
How do you pick the best travel tools for trip planning when there a sea of options online? It’s a bit of a crap shoot, in my opinion. I have spent hours comparing one flight deal to another, sizing up hotel accommodations, and looking for the best tours on the cheap.
I enjoy orchestrating my own unique travel experiences. That might mean arriving in a favorite city, renting a car to check out some of the lesser known areas, spending a night in an agriturismo or room at a bed-and-breakfast, taking the rail to another city, and a mix of guided and self-directed tours. The more varied, the more interesting, I say!
I will admit, it is a bit overwhelming at times.
