I have been a travel consultant since 1978, and have owned my agency since then along with my husband who acquired it in 1973. He passed away 2 years ago unfortunately.
Count on an experienced travel consultant to assist you with anyhing to do with travel arrangements of any kind. Our professionalism and knowledge in connection with anything to do with travel can assist you. Why should you spend valuable personal or business time researching trave?. Do you hire a lawyer, doctorr, CPA, etc.? Hire a ttavel professiional, too. We truly care about our clients. and have special pricing arrangements with great suppliers. We are not "dinosaurs" as a profession, and we are caring human beings who want to help our clients. We are always available before, during and followiing your travel arrangements.
Do you want to pretend to be a travel agent? Please call us.
Thank You!
Linda

I have to agree. If you are taking a lengthy vacation or a multi city stay, a travel agent is your best bet. My Mom and I did a cruise, flying LA to Sydney and returning to LA from Auckland, 17 days, including airfare and 2 nights in Auckland plus port trips and got it all for $2900 each. That's a $10,000 per person cruise...we have an established relationship with a travel agent and she find us the best deals.

For Pat Lukes, So you like Travel Agents. You surely do realize they all charge a commission for a job we don't like to do ourselves, at times as high as 30%. I still say for the best deal bypass them all and keep your options open. The vast majority choose the so called easy way and book thru an agent... Do the math, although it seems easy you lose in the long run....
WE all have options, try using them and see the benefits.. Big chains? or small business... We all have a choice.... Choose wisely..... Tom : )

Let me ask you this: Can you get me two non-stop round trip flights (not red eyes) to Orlando, FL on 12/08 and 12/15 including taxes and checked luggage for a total of $440? Can you get me a nice large hotel room with a king bed, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, happy hour drinks each day, hot tubs, heated pools and huge acreage of ponds and gardens with free shuttle to Disneyworld for $725 including taxes for 7 nights? Can you get DW passes for two for four days for $600? Total=$1765. I tried the travel agencies. The closest was $2400 and the hotel was ratty. Can you do better?
