It’s no secret, advancements in technology have changed the world. From the appliances in our home to vehicles, phones, computers, coffee pots, you name it. While some people suggest that life was more “simple” without these advancements, the most recent generations can’t imagine life without them.

Let’s travel back in time for a second. Before commercial use of an airplane, travel was not necessarily recreational, but necessary. Weekly trips to town for essentials were done by horseback and horse-drawn wagons. Most destinations further than that were by railroad or ship. Only the wealthy were capable of traveling with automobiles.

Nearly a century later, with a couple pushes of a button, we can plan a cross country vacation for a group of people. But not before plopping your preferred date and destination into a search engine to generate the best deals on airfare, hotels, car rentals, food, and anything else to make your vacation flawless! Let’s take a look at some of the FREE apps and websites that claim responsibility for providing the BEST. VACATION. EVER!
