Have the Vacation of a Lifetime by Booking With a Travel Agent

With apps and websites devoted to travel, you might wonder why you would speak to a travel agent near you. Travel agents are not passé, they offer many benefits to you whether you’re traveling abroad or overseas. When you’re looking for a special vacation or traveling to places unknown, your travel agent is your resource who can save you time and money by finding the points of interest and lodging that meets your needs.

Special Needs
More travelers need unique accommodations, for children, pets, or themselves. Your travel agent knows the questions to ask and find those places that work for you and your family. If you have dietary restrictions or physical limitations, your travel agent can find the information for you and help you find the right places to visit. If you’re traveling to a place that could be unsafe for tourists, due to unrest or crime, your travel agent can direct you to safe travel and lodging. Speak to a travel agent near you about the vacation you want. Special requests can be worked out before you go, leaving you free to enjoy your stay.

Multiple Destinations
When you’re making plans to visit somewhere that involves different sites, your travel agent makes the most of your time by planning your trip to get where you want to be quickly. Think about how much time you will spend just trying to get somewhere in a place that you are not familiar with. Instead of spending your vacation or business trip finding the right transportation, enjoy your trip when you speak to a travel agent.

Understanding the Culture
When you speak to a travel agent about your vacation, you have an insight into the culture where you’ll be traveling. For example, in Spain, everyone eats tapas while standing. This may not seem like a big deal, unless you have a problem standing for long periods of time and need to be able to sit down. Some foreign countries have different views on same-sex relationships, which could make traveling there difficult. Working with your travel agent gives you access to this information so that you aren’t in an awkward situation. The knowledge that your travel agent provides is important to your overall enjoyment on your trip.

A Travel Agent Has Clout
By working in the industry, your agent develops relationships with people who make things happen at your travel destination. This gets into places that you could never do on your own. Your online app can’t do anything when the rooms aren’t available, but your travel agent knows who to speak with to get that connecting room or when things go wrong. Don’t underestimate the value of a good travel specialist who wants to make your vacation special.

Find the Best Deals
Speak to a travel agent near you to find the best deals on the trip you want. Agents stay up to date with what’s new from their travel partners, so you can find great prices on your resort or cruise ship. If you’re planning a wedding, you already have enough on your plate and don’t need to spend time planning your honeymoon or travel for guests. Let a travel agent take over some of the work, so you can actually relax on your vacation.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
