When I travel, I usually have one of two different types of travel experiences: everything went fine, or "The Trip from Hell". It amazes me the little things that can turn a great trip into a dreadful one. This week I found a site devoted to giving you all the information you need to have a great trip. The site is appropriately called The Trip.com

The Trip.com (http://www.thetrip.com)

The Trip.com provides everything you could possibly need to plan and reserve an enjoyable trip. Powered by the same reservation system travel agents use, The Trip.com allows you to look up flights, check their availability, compare fares, and reserve tickets. What distinguishes it from other travel sites is the way it provides comprehensive "no frills" tips and strategies on everything from airport terminal maps, information on ground transportation, complete city guides, and much more. The Trip.com carries you from the airport to your destination and back again.

This week Microsoft and Intel launched exciting technology onto the Internet - Free Video telephone calls across the Internet. This week I used both Net Meeting and Intel Internet Video Phone (with my little $99 black and white Connectix camera) to make calls to people around the world. If you have a PC, then try out Intel Internet Video Phone http://connectedpc.com or Microsoft's Net Meeting http://www.microsoft.com/netmeeting/ It's an amazing experience!
