World on the Web: Web-Trotting

Virtual vacations will never replace the real thing. But you can use the Internet to help plan your "real time" excursions. Search by "travel" and you'll be kept busy for hours-with just a little more effort, you can find information about environmentally sensitive travel.

You'll find your fill of environmentally aware adventures by visiting Sierra Club Outings' Web site (www.sierraclub.org/outings). The site provides detailed descriptions of more than 300 domestic and international expeditions and an online reservation form.

When you're ready to take the plunge, several Web sites provide air-line fares and schedules (including "fare finders" that search for low-price tickets) and allow you to book plane tickets online. For a flight of fancy, go to Travelocity (www.travelocity.com) or Expedia (expedia.msn.com).
