Summer season is coming our way. You know what that means? Time to take that summer vacation. This is the time of year when many Americans start getting excited about taking some time off and getting away.
Maybe you have already decided where you would like to go for vacation this year or maybe you haven't decided yet. But chances are you haven't got everything booked just yet. As I have said in other Rick's Reviews, times have changed in my twenty-something years. It is even true when it comes to travel. I remember it wasn't long ago that if you wanted to fly any where, there was a certain person you would call - your travel agent. That is not the case today. Most Americans don't look to travel agents like they used to do. What changed all that? The Internet is really what changed that industry as it has changed so many others. There are still travel agents out there but their businesses and the services they offer have changed.
There are great websites out there to help you with your summer vacation or any travel for that matter. One site certainly worth checking out is www.hotwire.com. One thing that I like is that they earned a J.D. Powers Award for Customer Satisfacton. That tells me they are doing a few things really right. Some sites seem to confuse "self-serve" with "no service." I don't think they give J.D. Powers awards for the "no service" group.
