Why use a Travel Agent? (We have 3 basic reasons and more...). #1 PRICE ~ When you shop on the "Travel Sites" you're actually seeing a Biased Display of what they want to show you, not necessarily the Best Deal! If you think you've found a good price online, there's always a reason, and it's never, ever a good reason. Fees, taxes and amenities are the biggest surprises, but value is really the reason, because the discounters are trying to move things that nobody really wants to begin with. #2 EXPERTISE ~ The average person takes a trip about every 18 months. Travel Agents actually deal with trips on a daily basis. Or roughly, 547 times more than the average traveler in that same time period. They'll know the tricks and the traps, because, like your profession, they've been well trained and are extremely experienced in finding you exactly what you want. We train every day with vendors just to keep up with the best opportunities, and quite honestly, who do you think knows more about travel, uncle Bob, or a certified Travel Agent? After all, everything you see online is totally true, right? #3 CONNECTIONS ~ When you press that Buy Now button, and spend your hard earned vacation budget, and if something goes wrong, where are you going to turn? Travel Agents can reach out to their professional connections and take care of everything that can happen along the way, Cruise Lines, Airlines, Hotels, Cars, events and more. Virtually everything! 100% of travel today is actually booked through a Travel Agent in a round about way. Truly, our job is not to just find you the best deal, but to find you the right deal.

We've experienced much of the globe together, and it's enlightened us tremendously as Agents in this trade. We have been to Hawaii, England, Italy, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and all over the USA together! Singularly, Barbie has also traveled to Israel, and Vinnie has been to Singapore, Korea, Japan, Yamen, Australia and Iran, courtesy of the US Navy. In 2023 we went to Mexico numerous times, the Caribbean, and 8 states in the USA. Followed by dozens more events in 2024 and 2025. After all that, we're encountering 2026 with as much Zest!
