Frequently Asked Questions

---

We are paid by resorts, cruise lines, hotels, and car rentals companies. We are also paid by Amtrak vacations, for international flights. 

Many resorts have price parity, the cost is the same whether you book through me, or direct with the resort or with an online booking engine.

The difference between using a travel agent is that I can help you plan a stress free vacation without the hassle of doing it alone.

Booking travel with me, I will provide you exceptional personal assistance before, during, and after your vacation.

Budget is important and I strive to give my clients their dream vacation within the budget they set for it. There's no pressure to go above and beyond what you're comfortable with. You can't enjoy your vacation when you're stressed out about paying for it. 

You will also benefit from our extensive personal connections which carry a certain gravitas when needing anything addressed we have a easier time getting you perks. (Like getting your room up upgraded)

If any problems arise on your trip, you can reach out to me. You won't get that from a travel site.

No. I have the same access to all the same pricing for resorts as the online booking sites do and we can price match online booking engine pricing.

Ideally you should set a budget, and know what destination you want to travel to. Share the information with me, so that I can give you a realistic, fun, memorable itinerary for a price you are comfortable with me.

No. The deposit requirements are set by the resorts and the tour operators I book through. Deposit rates vary based on the resort or packages you select, and the time you are traveling. Most available packages require that you pay the balance 45 days prior to your arrival. The payment is made directly to the supplier.

Travel Insurance is available and recommended to protect your travel investment. Many trips, such as tours and cruises, involve nonrefundable funds paid months in advance. Travel insurance protects you from losing this investment.  Perhaps even more important is the travel coverage and assistance that comes with the top-flight insurance companies I carry.

Trip interruption due to illness or unforeseen circumstances can be very expensive, and medical care abroad is often not covered by domestic insurance plans. Also, an increasing number of countries require proof of medical insurance for travelers entering their country.
