Being prepared for your vacation is the best way to help ensure a carefree and easygoing vacation. If you know what to expect where you are going, airports you are traveling through, or just general pointers on travel you can be ready for most situations. While we try to bring you the best travel information we can, there are tons of great resources on the web that have lots to offer. I've compiled a list of some of my favorite to help get you ready for your vacation this year.
- MSN Travel Tips for the Weary Traveler - MSN has a huge repository of travel articles and can be a great resource for anyone looking for some travel information.
- Traveler's Notebook - Great site run by the Matador Network who offers free travel blogs to anyone that wants to start one. The Traveler's Notebook has plenty of tips and great articles about travel as well.

- Frommer's Travel Tips - Frommers has been providing tips to the savvy traveler since the 1950's and has a wealth of information online as well as their many books.
There were a few sites that did not make it to our Top 5 but more than deserve an honorable mention for our list. A few were too small, poor navigation or might just have applied too small a group but still have some great ideas for your vacation.
