When you do it yourself in life, you always take on possible risks. Sometimes it’s a calculated risk because the consequences are minimal. Other times, though, the risk is just too high.
Here are some of the most frequent problems that do-it-yourself travel planners have:
-Flights at inconvenient times
-Baggage and seat issues
-Missed flights
-Awful hotel rooms that don’t match the online information
-Travel Insurance that doesn’t work when you need it
-Spending hours on hold when you have questions
-Wasting time trying to get from one place to another
-Under-planning or winging it
-Over-Planning
-Poor document preparation
-Denied entry due to incorrect documents
-Closed sites or activities
-Struggling to find options for dining and activities
-Transportation difficulties

3. I will continue to tweak the itinerary until we've come up with the perfect plan for the PERFECT vacation.

"Debbie went the extra mile in every step of this process to plan my trip with me. Especially, in these times where travel is not easy, Debbie made the experience extremely non-labor intensive. She worked hard to ensure I had all proper documents at the right times. She made excellent recommendations over the entire planning process. Those recommendations and the work she did made my vacation that much more amazing. I will absolutely be using her as a travel agent in the future." -Z.B.2021
