Contemplating Developing a Travel Course

I've recently been thinking about putting my travel research, planning, and budgeting strategies together into a course that I could offer at local libraries. My intention is to teach others how they can overcome some of the hurdles placed in front of the uninformed traveler regarding:
(a) Finding the best or most appropriate airfare/transportation options
(b) Researching destinations and cultures using online and print materials
(c) Methods of overcoming trepidation of leaving US soil for foreign destinations
(d) Estimating a trip budget and planning a payment schedule
(e) Developing a checklist to keep track of important activities/items
(f) Purchasing, packing, and organizing for travel

If you have been following my blog over the last year, you will notice many of these items already being covered. However, there are many out there who are not as technologically savvy as those of us who live our daily lives integrated to the online world. Teaching a course in a public space, would assist those folks in finding out what travel options are available to meet their needs. What are your thoughts on this? Any recommendations for topics? Please feel free to post in my comments section...
