Michael Shapiro wrote this book for "people who always wanted to turn the travel agent's computer screen around." He accomplished more--he created a resource for those who'd also like to grab a big piece of a good travel agent's expertise. Beyond showing how to book your own travel reservations, Shapiro demonstrates how to get the best deals and how to find the information that will lead you to either painless business travel or to your dream vacation. He even explains how to use the Net as you travel to get the most from wherever you are.
From Library Journal
In the past year I have booked four flights using the web. I know I can use a travel agent, but I like the idea of finding my own way and just browsing around various sites looking for low fares. The problem is that my way depends upon a certain amount of serendipity. Shapiro puts those of us just hunting and pecking on the straight and narrow to information on a surprisingly wide array of topics. This easy-to-use book/CD combination covers the obvious, such as dream destinations and deals and how to stay wired while traveling as well as the more unique resources of the web, like how to use newsgroups to reach folks with similar interests and, perhaps, previous experiences.
