         Welcome aboard!  You have just entered into a world where 
         NO ONE has gone before!  We are very excited to bring to 
         you a brand new concept in vacation travel - home 
         shopping!  For the very first time, in the comfort of your 
         own home, (and with the assistance of your computer and 
         modem) you can access the vacation of your dreams!

         Think about it... how many top-quality travel agents would 
         you have to employ to give you over 1500 vacation and 
         travel ideas?  Could they give you the lowest prices? Are 
         they available 24 hours a day?  Do they really KNOW the 
         products?

         Picture this...you have just completed an incredibly long 
         and strenuous project. You want, need and DESERVE a great 
         vacation. It's 2:00 a.m.,  and you're sitting in your 
         skivvies at your terminal wishing to get away from it all.  
         Who can you call?  How soon can you go?

         Welcome to Tripfinder!  Any time, any day, you can access 
         the latest and hottest specials, as well as long-term 
         vacation planning.  Cruises, resorts, adventure travel, 
         health spas, tours of all kinds, and special events like 
         Bowl Games or the Kentucky Derby....these, and many other 
         choices are all right at your fingertips!  Browse at your 
         convenience, with all the vital information right in front 
         of your eyes!

         And when you've found what you want, reserve your space! 
         Tripfinder isn't just a directory, it's a reservation 
         center!  With many trip offerings you may call the 
         supplier directly, or use your travel agent.  It's 
         possible that your agent won't even know the supplier, 
         simply because no one can know everything.  So we have 
         included phone numbers to make it easy for both of you.

         And if you happen to choose a trip where it says to "Call
         N.T.S.", you are doubly lucky!  With these trips, you can 
         choose from a number of alternatives for booking, and you 
         can be assured that you are getting the best value on the 
         market!  You can call Network Travel Services during 
         normal working hours if you want to speak to a real live 
         person. Or often we can save you $20 if you access the "on 
         screen" reservation form and upload it to the TripFinder 
         BBS, fax, or print it out, fill it in and mail directly to 
         Tripfinder.  Again, do this when you please, 24 hours a 
         day, 365 days a year.

                         Page Down to continue....


         For your added convenience, you can tell US when to call 
         YOU to confirm your reservation request! And we will 
         cheerfully do so! You can always be assured that our 
         attention and service to your vacation plans are our 
         primary concern.

         And as a special bonus to our new subscribers, we have 
         enclosed some extremely valuable coupons on car rentals 
         and cruises. The $50 Tripfinder cruise discount coupon CAN 
         BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY OTHER COUPON OR DISCOUNT 
         OFFER for added savings!! (Always check your supplier 
         coupons for any restrictions or expiration dates!)

         **     HOT CRUISE SPECIALS FOR THE LONG, COLD WINTER    **
         **********************************************************

         
          Hello, again!  Are you ready for the approaching holiday 
          season?  Ready for the cold weather? The crowded malls?  
          The relatives?  Well, if this isn't your idea of a good 
          time, then GET OUT OF TOWN!!!  That's right, take a cruise 
          and get away from it all!

          I know what you're thinking... holiday surcharges, peak 
          rates... Well, you won't believe this, but for the first 
          time in our 6 years of business, we are seeing the cruise 
          lines actually offer us DISCOUNTED holiday sailings ...so 
          we can offer them to you!

          DEAL #1:   Consider spending Christmas or New Year's 
          aboard the luxurious and upscale Seabourn ships, or take 
          advantage of "up to 40% holiday discounts" on the casually 
          elegant Windstar Line!  Access: <C>ruise <C>aribbean

          DEAL #2:   Holland America, one of our favorite 5-star 
          lines, is offering a 50% savings on the 2nd person in a 
          cabin for Christmas! Sail the Westerdam's western 
          Caribbean itinerary on December 19th for 7 days with 
          prices starting at $1403 per person - INCLUDING AIR!!!  A 
          7-day eastern Caribbean itinerary aboard the Noordam on

          in to Tripfinder NOW!!!)

          If you just can't leave Aunt Mildred over the holidays, 
          then think about taking advantage of some early booking 
          discounts for your cruise vacation next year, before the 
          1993 prices really kick in!

          DEAL #3:   Something really special you have to know about 
          -- Crown Cruise Line, one of the newest upscale cruise 
          lines, is offering an unbelievable deal!  If you think 
          about "per diems" in terms of levels of quality on a ship, 
          you can expect to pay roughly $100 for an economy line to 
          $1000 a day or more for a top-notch, 5-star-plus ship.  
          Crown is an elegant, upscale line, but they are new and 
          trying to establish themselves as the fine product they 
          are.  So, they are offering a January 23rd, 16-night 
          Panama Canal cruise for as low as $1820, or $114/A DAY!!!

          consider the Star Clippers ships!  They are offering a 50%
