Choosing a travel agency to handle your next vacation as opposed to dealing directly with an airline presents numerous benefits. Here are a few of the benefits you enjoy:
Wealth of information
Because of their experience and wide connections with people in the hospitality industry, travel agencies are in the best position to provide sound advice when it comes to the following points: off peak and peak travel times, budget travel, hotel and meal deals, excursions, shopping bargains, and other tourism-related topics. Much will depend on your preferences. For instance, are you interested in a golf holiday, a fishing trip, a museum jaunt or a spa type of vacation?
Discounted fares
Travel agencies and online travel agencies are great for bargain hunting and usually get the best deals from their network of contacts. They also purchase air tickets on volume, consolidated tickets, enabling them to buy air tickets at considerably higher discounts.
Extended network of suppliers and providers
Given that travel agents deal every day with hotel managers, restaurant owners and managers, bed and breakfast supervisors, tour operators, limousine companies, and other people who offer a specialized service, they know who and what are offering better prices and when. So travel agents have a wealth of information on just about anything related to travel, and because they network with other travel agents, they get to exchange valuable tips. Consider yourself fortunate if you happen to be dealing with a travel agent who seems to know “just about everyone” in the travel industry and who can offer you the discounts that she reserves for preferred clients.
Group discounts
If you tell your travel agent that you and your friends want to travel together or that you’re taking your family of four on a Kenyan safari, he or she might be able to slash off more dollars from your air tickets because you will be travelling in a group. Sometimes, when you buy three adult tickets, travel agents will let your four-year-old travel for free or at a much lower price. Travel agents can, at their discretion, extend courtesy discounts to groups. The more seats are bought and the more rooms are booked, the higher the discounts they receive.
Perks
Travel agents also have access to suppliers and service providers who hand out “bonuses” or perks. These are the nice extra incentives that say, hotel managers would give to agents so that the next time the travel agency has a large group of travelers, they choose the same hotel. Meal vouchers are another example that travel agencies have a constant supply of to give to loyal customers. For example, if you and your friends like to visit Las Vegas a lot, your travel agency may give you slot chips worth $50.00 to use on machines, or free passes to a stage show or concert. So you see, it does pay to develop good relationships with travel agencies especially if you’re a frequent traveler.
Specialization
Some travel agencies specialize in certain types of travel and cater to a certain age group or specific professional groups. Some travel agencies have more strengths and capabilities than other travel agencies. One travel agency may know the ins and outs of Eastern Europe or may know what the best budget restaurants in Tokyo are. Other travel agencies may cater specifically to retirees, students or government officials.
When a travel agency handles a large account like a mid-size company whose executives travel weekly, you can be sure that travel agency is in a position to offer significant savings on plane tickets or hotel reservations. If you have a friend who works for a large company and his company uses one travel agency, you could ask him to request the travel agency for special deals. Because travel agents are grateful for the continuing patronage of their company clients, they will most likely share tips on how to travel on a shoestring budget for the executives’ children.
Don’t let one unfortunate experience with a travel agency discourage you. Find another. If you deal with the airlines directly, you’re just another caller to them, whereas if a travel agent calls the airline on your behalf, the airline will recognize the travel agency as a regular customer and hence would be more inclined to extend courtesies.
What you need to do before calling a travel agency is to decide:
· Specific travel dates
· Where you want to go, where you want to stay and whether you’ll need a car or rail passes
· If you’re willing to travel on a restricted ticket or as a standby passenger
· What activities you’d like to do once you arrive in your destination
By giving your travel agency complete information, she can be more efficient in helping you plan your next vacation.

I have to agree with everyone. This looks just like a photo! You never cease to amaze me! This has to be your best work yet! Definitly lookin’ forward to more masterpieces from you, Will. : D
SpaceTime is the 4th Dimension
The faster you travel through it the faster time passes by.
Curving spacetime causes time to slow down
Earths mass effecting spacetime causing a curve

But in reality it is 4D so the curve is more like this:

The time in empty space travels faster than time on Earth due to Earth causing a curve in spacetime
Its like this the curve means more space for something to travel across ie time where as a smooth spacetime takes less space for something to travel across like someone running across a valley while another runs across a flat surface.
Traveling faster is like running faster than someone else you will get to the finish line before them ie travel faster in space youll be in the future before the time you would if you went slower.
You divide the numer of miles travelled by the number of hours and the result – the constant of variation – is 3.66 (recurring) miles per hour.
i missed your stuff man
LOL! I have to keep watching this! so Beautiful! Musics Perfect!
omg so you played this on ur keyboard x)
cool man and lots of respects to ALL of youre paintings
If you were an aristocrat you would travel one day at a time by horse drawn carriage and stay in the best houses of other relatives, you would catch the boat from Barcelona in Spain or from Marseilles across the Mediterranean to Roma. It would take six or seven days.
The well off traveled in private, and in well-sprung upholstered carriages. Their favoured vehicle is the post chaise, introduced in France in the early 18th century. Its name accurately suggests a pleasant seat, and an expectation of lively new horses at each post stage during the journey.

No you can not travel to Europe with a US refugee travel document. You would have to have a passport. Just having a refugee document won't be enough. No European country will accept this document.
it feels like my brain doesn’t want to believe that is a painting and more of a picture. haha
The travel writing industry is a very hard one to break into.
If you have good background credentials, especially in writing/journalism, it doesn't hurt to try. Apply with National Geographic or Lonely Planet. They're both good companies.
actually if you only considered time dilatation due to gravity, the clocks on earth would be slower than clocks on a spacecraft which is not in the gravity well of earth
However in this case, time dilation due to speed will be present so the net effect will be that the clocks on the spacecraft will be slower than that on earth.
Escape velocity from earth is 11.186 km/s. Lets be generous and say the space ship can go 10x that. Using the calculations from the website below, time dilatation factor would be 1.0000000696110642 times slower. If i calculate correctly, you lose 2 point something seconds a year
wow it looks as if it was taken by a camera, awesome work man
The best way is use kayak to search for flights and hotels and then book directly with the airline or hotel.
Most online travel sites cannot be trusted since once they charge your credit card you are on your own.
Check the links below for scary information
Well, you should replace your documentation for your study permit but to travel within Canada you will probably not need it. To fly within Canada you have to be able to prove who you are which, under Transport Canada regulations, you must have a valid piece of government issued photo ID which a passport is. For a complete list you can check the Transport Canada website (link below)
