Travel Agents Offer Lots of Good Free Advise - I Don't Charge For My Services

I would like to clear up a misnomer.  Not All Travel Agent Charge You A Fee for their Advise.  Many travelers like to do their own research, but they don't always end up with the best travel deal.  I have been in the Travel Business for over 32 years at this point and I really need to clear up a few items.  I DO NOT CHARGE YOU FOR MY EXPERIENCE OR EXPERTISE.  I just try to match you with the right Tour, Cruise or Hotel based on You as an Individual.

There are Travel Agencies that will charge you an upfront fee to talk to them or to have them get information.  I feel this is not the right platform for me or my clients.  I have experience and I want to share my travel tips or problems that might have arised during my travels. 

You are individuals and each person has their own agendas and it is not my place to try to put you on a Tour or Cruise that would not fit your personality or your pocketbook.  My job is to make your travel dreams become a reality.

Tours Companies pay Travel Agencies commission based on the fact that we can recommend any company that we feel is a Valid Tour Company. We recommend companies based on our experience with their company by a direct and continued partnership.  If you are being charged a fee, please be aware (WHY).  Please be careful when using an proclaimed Expert.  Everyone in life is a work in progress.  Happy Travels.

Family Travel in Your Own Neighborhood - See Your Local Parks and Museums

Have you really every explored your local neighborhoods with your family.  Who better know your local area than the Chamber of Commerce or Visitor's Center.  Family Fun or Family Exploration can be done in a town near you.  Why not spend some time close to home.  All vacations don't have to empty your wallet.

Our family loves to travel and I highly recommend to take a little time on facebook or twitter to find out some of the best Parks or Museums near your home town.  Price of Gas has dropped lately, but the secret affordable fun is to just travel as a family in an affordable way.  Not everyone can afford a Cruise or Escorted Tour this year.  Why not take a bus trip or local City Tour.  I have lived in one area for over 30 years but there are still things I am learning and taking pictures of .  Just get out as a family and have fun.

Travel Tip: traveling doesn't have to empty your wallet. Take a visit to a city near you and explore their parks and museum. There might be a new trail that you have been wanting to explore for the family day trip outing. Just enjoy your time off with your family. That is the best recipe for Healthy and Happy Family Fun.

Holiday Travel Tips - Be Prepared and Pack Ahead

Holiday Travel can be stressful.  Many of you will be traveling more than 200 miles away to visit family and friends for the Holidays.  My biggest travel tip is suggested that you always travel with safety in mind.  Watch the Gas Prices, as they dictate what prices you will pay at the pumps.  Be Prepared and Pack Ahead.

The Airlines offer Special Holiday Fares but they are very specific to dates of travel.  I suggest that you always allow approximately 21 days prior to travel to purchase your airline ticket.  There are some last minute deals but the best prices and availability are there when you plan way in advance.  Get to the airport at least 2 1/2 hours prior to you departure time.  Many delays are happening with the TSA screening.  Plan Ahead.

Are you traveling by car this year?  Depending where you travel be prepared and pack ahead of time.  My Holiday Travel Tip is: Pack and Carry Tire Chains, Extra Blankets and some snacks before you start out.  I have physically been stuck on the highway for 12 hours and it is always good  to be prepared.

Travel Safe and I hope this information is helpful.  Look forward to 2012 as the prices are starting to come down for air and gas prices.  Have a Wonderful Holiday Season and Happy Travels wherever you end up for this Christmas Season.
