Computers were supposed to make our life easier and less cluttered and offer us a wealth of information when we go to start planning a vacation.

But just planning a trip now days can be a real nightmare.

 

We started with  Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity and a few other sites all soliciting your business.

And then Price Line came along spouting they had the lowest fares. 

And now

 Expedia, Orbitz,Travelocity, Price line, Farebuzz,Kayak,Hipmunk, Travelzoo,Cheapoair, Booking Buddy,Comparefares,Sidestep,Hotwire,Yapta,Bing,Insidetrip, Dohop.com and Mobissimo.com, Europebyair, and so many more so my apologies to the others I haven’t listed

 They all claim to get you the lowest fares .. best deals etc.

Hotels, it’s the same story all of  the above plus  booking com, hotels.com,  and more

Cruises and vacation packages are no different.  Cruise Planners, Vacations to Go, Smart Cruises, Cruise cheap, Cruisewise and the list is endless.

 And of course most airline and hotel chains guarantee that their site has the lowest rates too ! 

Throw into this already ridiculous mess the Consortiums like American Express, Signature,and Virtuoso along with all the rest and you really have a bee’s nest.

 And then to confuse things even more we now have Groupon, Snique, and Trendsetters offering you special deals for a limited purchasing time.

 Looking for a villa or apartment?  It’s the same thing here, VRBO,Home Away from Home, and many many more.

 And last but not least the unending Cruise specials that are almost as bad as the Macy’s ads.    Valentine special, One day upgrade, Balcony sales, Super Thursday sale, and of course the always popular  Best sale of the year!

Yady Yady Yadda !

 Who in their right mind would pay regular price?  And who can possibly keep this all straight?.   

How do you know who really has the best deals?  How do you know you’re not getting taken to the cleaners?  The answer is simple….

 A professional travel expert.

“Oh, but I hear they may charge me a service fee..”

Yes, and a good one is worth every penny!!!  Not only do they do all the searching for you they offer you good olde fashioned customer service.  Listening to your needs and fulfilling your wishes plus protecting your monies and your vacation time.

 

So, if you like wasting your time, not knowing whether you got screwed or not, go on line and have a great time.

 

But if you want to same time and money call a “Travel Professional”

October to Mid December is usually the best time to get the best Cruise deals. Back to school, and the upcoming Holidays always means there are great deals to be had.  January, right after the Holidays, is another great time to get special Cruise deals.  And of course “Last Minute Deals”  are available all the time (except the Holidays) usually within 30days prior to your departure date.  Call us to see if we can find something for you.
