“Why Do I Need a Travel Agent?”
“Why do I need a travel agent? I can research and book all of this myself on the internet. I’m not going to pay someone to do this for me.”
You’re right. You can. But why should you have to? And guess what? You don’t have to pay anyone either.
You Don’t Have to Do Everything Yourself
We have a 12 year old and a 14 month old. Trying to balance our days with a pre-teen’s schedule that includes travel sports and a young toddler’s schedule that includes multiple naps and feedings has been challenging. And my husband and I both work from home!
I try and fit as many tasks into nap times as I can. I have a cleaning chart/schedule on our fridge that is broken down by month, week, and day so I can take a quick glance at it and know what I need to get done in that hour and a half without a toddler. I need all the help I can get! (Don’t ask how many things on that cleaning chart actually get done on time).
Sundays are prep days. Plan out our week. Plan the menu and grocery list. Who has what activities and lessons when? Does my husband have to go into the office at any point that week? So much time is spent planning so we can minimize the bumps in the road later on.
Help, when it is available, is amazing. Help can come in so many different ways! A babysitter. A house cleaner. A personal chef. A dog walker. A driver. A personal trainer. A glam squad. A personal shopper.
What would your day look like if you had help? How many hours would become available to you to do the things that you would want to do? That you like to do?
“So much time is spent planning so we can minimize the bumps in the road later on. What would your day look like with help?”
A travel agent is Help. And costs you NOTHING.
Think of the last vacation you took.
How much time and energy was spent on the planning? On the research? On the lists of things to do, things to pack, etc.? How stressful was it to plan your vacation? What had to be pushed aside in your every day life to make time to do that planning?
Booking your vacation through a travel agent gives you back that time. We are the experts. You give us the Cliff Notes of what you want out of your vacation, and we take care of the rest.
Before, during, and even after your travel, a travel agent has your back. We are the ones that wait on hold. We monitor your flights and travel so we know if something is delayed and we fan try and fix it for you.
Let me give you your time back. Your sanity back. Let’s get started on your Personal Travel Plan.
