  • Seek Out a Good Travel Agent
    - In response to a few of the other tips, I would like to let travellers know that you can still find good travel agents and you should seek them out. The key is to ask if they charge service charges or booking fees (we DO NOT) and to do a little research on your own. When you find a good agent, they can be your best resource. You can still find travel agents who love what they do, and are willing to help you find a real bargain. I assist my clients in finding bargains just like I try to find for myself. Even though I don't get commission from some of the smaller lodging options, etc. I still recommend these to my clients since they will come to me for airline tickets, tours, rail tickets, etc., which is how we make our money. Finding a good travel agent is like finding a good friend, and I consider my clients my good friends. Also remember, a travel agent is a friend who is there when you need them for emergencies, changes, or just to chat and share photos. Can you do that with a book or the internet?

  • Sending Postcards While You're Away
    - Type or write out address labels to send cards back home. It saves you taking your address book, which could be lost, and also saves you time when writing out postcards.

  • Share the Planning
    - When planning a trip I have each member of our family plan one day of the time we are on vacation. Then I have them type copies on notecards for each person. That way we all know what we are doing, and we all get to do somthing we like.

  • Special Diets at B&Bs
    - Many B&Bs, ourselves included, are more than happy to accommodate special diets. Just give your hosts a call and explain your dietary needs. If you give them at least 48 hours' notice you'll have the most success in getting your special meals. Bon Apetit!

  • Sturdy Padlocks for Your Luggage
    - I find it inadvisable to use the padlocks supplied with suitcases. I usually buy one a little more sturdy. Keep the key(s) in your carry-on luggage.
