What to do in today's surcharges and airline fees

What to do?

I will tell you what to do, smarten up and look outside the box.

How?

Hire a travel designer that's how!

Why?

You already don't know what to do, so do you really want to take on the complexities of booking your travel and risk ruining your entire vacation. The vacation that you have been saving for and working your butt off for.

Alright enough with the lectures, here is what you do.

Call a travel agent, planner, concierge or designer today!

Determine you desires and needs, analyze your dreams and let your planner put together a package you will never forget. By the way will this cost you a fee, it depends; we charge a planning fee, and apply the fee to your final purchase if you not using mileage or coupons. If you are using coupons or mileage, we convert the retail value, assigned a part of your deposit to cover our expenses and expertise then apply any amounts remaining to your trip.

Did you notice I mentioned in the above statement "expertise" - don't forget we are experts in the area we specialize in and we train, learn, explore and discover our specialties. The value of our expertise can't be measured in dollars and cents, when we create your life long memories!

Here are some things to do to get around the high stress of flying and costs associated with it:

1). Europe - maybe a wonderful vacation to our friends to the north instead?
2). South America - still a good value, but with air problems - how about a cruise from Florida?
3). Driving vacation or the "road trip" - why not explore Amtrak or upscale Grandluxe Rail?
4). River cruises in Europe are wildly popular - why not try our river cruises in the U.S.?
5). Disney World Vacations Europe - think again, and combine it with a 3 or 4 day cruise?
6). European history or art tours - why not Washington D.C., Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans or Santa Fe, N.M. - we have some wonderful treasures just for the exploration.
7). Why do a trip to Europe on the mass web sites - book an individual journey on us currency
8). Why head to Paris via Air - combine a visit to London, rail to Paris, then Brussels, rail back
9). Nature gets you excited, and your going to Sea World - think again, try the Pacific Northwest
10). Why book a hotel and land in Europe - go on a cruise, save hundreds of dollars and stress

Complete vacations that will bring you back for more:

a). Pacific Northwest Exploration Package, includes:
1). Rail travel
2). Journeys on the waterways
3). Whale watching
4). Kayaking, electric boating
5). Rain forests, glaciers, bald eagle nests

I want to see you in the Pacific Northwest, either booking your journeys from our specialists, or call your personal designers or agents and have them call me to design your journey, the rewards you will receive will only be complemented by the rewards we offer our travel partners.

So don't let the airlines and stress of the gas prices for your vehicle ruin your summer plans, think outside the box and let's put together a great holiday and show the airlines they should of been taking care of business in the first place and they wouldn't be in the mess they are in today.
