Technology Creates Smooth Sailing for Summer Vacations

While many people think of vacation as an excuse to untether oneself from a smartphone, the Sun-Sentinel says technology can make a summer trip “more fun, efficient and inexpensive.” You can use apps to estimate the wait time at Disney World or on the road. And Priceline has rolled out a new feature on their Name-Your-Price function that gives you a money-back guarantee plus $25 if you find a better deal.

Tripit allows smartphone users to coordinate all aspects of their trip - best part: it’s free.
