10 Best Web Sites for Travelers - continued

By , About.com Guide

6. WEBFLYER

Even if you only fly or stay in a hotel a few times a year, WebFlyer should be on your radar. Find out about different airline frequent flyer and hotel frequent guest programs here. You can also access information on promotions, check your accounts online, and read ratings and reviews of many different programs if you're undecided on which are best to join.

7. FOREIGN LANGUAGES FOR TRAVELERS

A clever site that helps you find the right words to say in many different languages. Start by selecting the language you speak, then pick the language you want to learn. You'll then get to choose from a menu of categories: Basic Words, Numbers, Shopping/Dining, Travel, Directions, Places, Time and Dates. Choose one, and find a list of translated words and phrases. Click to hear any expression pronounced, thanks to little Quicktime movies that download instantly.

8. PASSPORT RENEWAL APPLICATION

There's no need to stand in line for a passport renewal. Here you can download DSP-82: Application For Passport By Mail, the official U.S. government application form.

9. KAYAK

There are many places on the Web to check out prices for airfare and hotels. I prefer Kayak because it pulls in information from many different sources and helps you to figure out the best times to travel and the best prices on where you want to go.

10. BEST DESTINATION GUIDES

I spend an inordinate amount time searching for travel information on the Web. And whether I'm looking for a great theme park, camping site, castle hotel, or information on any specific destination, I know I'll find it at About Travel. And so will you.
