If you don’t have a computer at home, visit your local library. Nearly all public library systems in the U.S. provide computer access for their patrons. Some libraries offer classes on using the Internet. Community colleges and senior centers often present low-cost computer awareness classes. Once you’ve learned how to access the Internet, you can read trip reviews, compare airfares and find out about travel bargains. You’ll be able to see photos of destinations, resorts and hotels.
Perhaps online research isn’t your cup of tea. Why not trade talents with a family member or friend? They do the research, and you reciprocate by crocheting a baby blanket, growing fresh herbs, helping with homework or walking their dog. It’s a no-cost, low-hassle way to get travel information.
