I also have a
great interest in cruises and cruise ships. If you too have
an interest in this
kind of vacation, click on one of the two pages listed below. They
contain a wide variety of information about cruise lines and cruise
ships.CRUISE SHIP COMPARISONS - This is a page of information on most of the Cruise Ships in the world. It gives the name of the Cruise line, name of the ship, year built or refurbished, gross tonnage, and passenger capacity. You might need to use an updated copy of Netscape to view it properly.

For the local people flying out of the Louisville Airport, you really need to check out their web page. It has a lot of useful information.
Indianapolis
International Airport - Everything you
need to know about this central Indiana airport.
Cincinnati Airport - Top rated airport since 1994.
Airports Around the World - A page of links to other U.S. and World Airports that have home pages.
Yahoo - "Yellow Pages" - This is a good
place to start your search for a motel
reservation.
Just type in the word "motel" in the
search block and click on the "Search" button.
- On the next page type in the City & State of
your destination and click on the "Continue" button.
- The next page to appear should be the list you are
looking for with names, addresses, and phone numbers.
MAPQUEST is another great place to get a map to your destination. Just type in the address then click on "Get Map". Or, at the top of the page you can click on "MAPS" and be presented with several other options. You can use an Airport code, a zip code, an Area code, or a city name among other things to get a map. Also, they have some other travel services that you might be interested in. At the top click on "DRIVING DIRECTIONS", "ROAD TRIP PLANNER", or "YELLOW PAGES", all very useful for planning a road trip.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE - Travelers who are headed for destinations out of the United States need to take a look at this site. Here you will be able to get valuable help with Passports and Visas. Also look at the Travel Warnings and Travel Publications to get some very important tips on your destinations.
CURRENCY CONVERSION - This page will help you figure out what your money will be worth in the country you are traveling to. It's great information, but I suggest you use a credit card. You will get the correct exchange rate on each purchase, you will have a written record of all your spending, and it's a lot safer then cash.
Language Help - Offers a lot of help to those needing to learn a foreign language. At least 46 languages are listed. This page also includes sound bites so that you can hear what the words sound like.
PETS - Here are two places in the
Madison, IN area that will take care of your pets while you are away.
