Plan a safe and secure vacation in the country or anywhere else...
Travel is not what it used to be....
I remember my first commercial air flight experience back in the stone age of 1976. I flew from Jacksonville, Florida to Washington, DC and it all seemed very exciting.
You were expected at the airport 30 minutes or so in advance of the flight, you handed over your checked bags at a counter where there were maybe three people in line, you got your boarding pass, and pretty soon you boarded the plane.
The plane wasn't overly crowded, people were smoking, drinking and eating peanuts, and pretty soon we landed. I was able to immediately disembark. Those waiting to greet me were more or less standing at the gate. We grabbed my bags and were out of the airport in about 30 minutes - having spoken to no one but each other....
I was not scanned or asked to show any ID. I was not poked or prodded in any fashion and I certainly did not have to remove my shoes. I never opened any of my luggage nor did anyone search my purse. I needed my lighter since I then smoked so no one would have thought to take my lighter.
Any readers who weren't even born in 1976 might appreciate this little scenario since air travel today is an entirely different experience.
The good news is that you can do your travel research, plan your entire vacation, and even secure your ticket - all online and as in advance as you can manage. The other good news is that the information you need to ensure a safe and secure vacation is available online as well.
