Back from Vacation!

I've been a little lax in postings this past week...  I've been on vacation.  The last thing on my mind has been to get anything done!

Just got back from a 4 day vacation in Cancun with Lori.  We had a great time.  A sunny 80+ degrees each day, a great ocean view, excellent food each day, ample amounts of drink and a ton of fun (and exercise!) in the water.

No work, no errands, no worries.  I knew everything was in a safe, trusted place, so with a mind like water, I was able to relax and forget about the world.  Simply perfect!

I booked this as a last minute trip on Travelocity.com.  I had never used an online travel site, let alone doing it at the last minute.  I must say I did have some initial angst about booking online at the last minute.  Once I selected my flight and hotel, all I had was an e-mail telling me I was good to travel in 3 days - Just go to the Delta booking desk at the airport and away you go...

It turned out just that easy.  When we got to the airport, we went to a Delta electronic kiosk, scanned our passports and out came our flight tickets.  Arrival at the hotel was just as simple.  We showed the e-mail from Travelocity.com to the clerk at the front desk and a few minutes later, we had the keys to our ocean-front room.  Very cool!

If you've never tried one of the online travel services (or even if you have), I'd highly recommend Travelocity.com.  Great prices on last minute fares (if your able to get away quickly), and flawless execution with the confirmation e-mail.

Leave a comment if you have (or have not) had similar experiences with other online travel services worth noting.  Thanks!
