High Tech Gadgets

I’m Jackie Howard with Travel Guide. Using a few high tech tools as you travel can make the road ahead much smoother. Personal Data Assistants or PDA’s, such as palms visors and other hand held devices provide freedom(1) and flexibility(2), with their help you can download(3) airline schedules from a computer before you leave on a trip, so you’ll know about last minute changes. And several units have wireless【无线的】Internet access(4) letting you get online almost anywhere. Plus using a wireless PDA could mean you’ll be traveling lighter. One way to avoid long lines at the airport, buy your tickets online at an airline website. And take your confirmation(5) number with you to the airport. Several Carriers have special electronic kiosks【小亭】 for checking in and some even let you check your bags that way. But even those who love technology say once your vacation starts, it’s time to put the gadgets away, and just enjoy the journey. With CNN Radio Travel Guide I’m Jackie Howard.
