Hi -- Has anyone used any of the on-line travel sites to book a vacation? wondering what your experience has been.... What are the catches or problems?

Who do you use to book your vacations? or do you book everything directly yourself? It's been a long time since I've traveled but my record for travel problems is top notch -- if *anything* can go wrong, it goes wrong for me! and that applies whether I use a travel agent or book directly. :(

PS: here are examples of some travel problems I've experienced:
- the woman who was to meet me at the airport with my tickets to the Azores called in sick!
- the airline I was to use from Stanstead to Munich went bankrupt and stopped all service the day before my flight
- I showed up in Myrtle Beach only to be told they had no record of my reservations
- countless train breakdowns! and having first-class tickets while being stuck *standing* in a luggage compartment! :p

I can go on, but you get the idea.... or are these completely normal travel problems for everyone?! :O)
