Do travel agents have a future?

People suggested that the world wide web would mean the end of businesses that had the word "agent" in their name - particularly travel agents. I've been spending a lot of time on the net recently doing travel planning, and I'm sick of it. Joanna did get quotes from an agent, and it's true that we've found cheaper, but maybe not that much better. Anyway, you're all dying to know that we'll be driving (via the Dover-Calais ferry) to Paris on 29 December, and back the following year (2 January).
