It's time to make the vacation plans again. Where should you go, take a cruise, perhaps? Fly to an exotic place or take a leisurely train ride across the country. If time is a factor, a short romantic getaway may be in order. Let's see, how about a 7-day Mexican Riviera Cruise or why not Jamaica man? In Jamaica you could take a jeep safari in the jungle, swim in the waterfalls and stay in a private villa. Another excellent choice might be to go to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Any and all of the above require planning ahead. The question is which of you will be the one to handle the preparations and make the reservations? There's usually one person in the family who's delegated (or self-appointed) to be in charge of the annual family excursion. Let's say it's you.

You are very thorough with your research and attempt to get your spouse's input and suggestions. You decide to use your computer to handle the arrangements because it's no longer necessary to go to a "brick & mortar" travel agency. These days most people find it much more efficient and less time consuming to just "click and order" their reservations online.

So you go to your computer and click on http://www.franklinconnection.com. That's a great website because it allows you to book airfare, hotel accommodations and car rental all at that one site. You can even buy tickets for special events & Broadway shows for your vacation destination.

Since the first part of your vacation will be for the kids at Disney, you decide that a cruise also looks intriguing & just the thing that everyone would enjoy. While Disney is going to be fun, it
will involve lots of walking. The cruise will be a special treat which will allow you to be pampered with a couples massage, sunbathing on the deck, and trying your luck at the casino. Not to mention, structured games & events for the kids.

An important fact to keep in mind is the updated procedure for the cruise check-in, due to Homeland Security. As an online travel agent the following information was already provided to you:

"IMPORTANT: CHANGE IN DOCUMENTATION & CHECK-IN REQUIREMENTS
FOR U.S. CRUISE DEPARTURES

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has recently announced new regulations which require cruise lines to provide final passenger manifests 60 minutes prior to departure from U.S. ports. To ensure compliance, passengers are required to provide complete and accurate passenger immigration details in advance of the embarkation date or risk being denied boarding. Passengers who fail to provide complete and accurate information prior to embarkation must complete check-in at least 90 minutes prior to the ship’s scheduled departure time or they may be denied boarding."

Well, in a matter of a few minutes, you've booked your travel & accommodations. Now it's time to relax & start the count down until the day of departure arrives.
