Default recomend a travel agent please

Hey AO,

Wanna take the wife somewhere warm thinking late March- early April. My mother (god bless her) actually wants to come up to edmonotn and watch our 4 children?.... Yeah she's nuts!! But she has offered three times now so we better take her up on the offer.

Anyways I have a tough time weeding through all the BS on the internet and would like to just give a list of what we are looking for to someone whom does this stuff all the time.

If anyone knows of or is a travel agent please let me know.

I'm in Edmonton if it matters.

Thanks,

Moose

Best I have found, and have reccomended to a lot of friends and family is Travelco in Spruce Grove. They go the extra little mile I have found compared to othe agents. Everybody i have sent that way has really like them and use them for all their bookings now. Ask for Marla.

I prefer to book my own, unless I need specific knowledge of another country.
My first trip to Europe I used a Greek Travel Agent in Calgary who was beyond amazing. We went in twice for an interview and she really got to know us and get a sense of what we needed to happen to have an amazing trip.
Sometimes-using a pro is called for!!
If I am paying a travel agent-then I demand specific knowledge and service.
But for me if it was a simple all-inclusive booking where the agent is simply securing the booking-then I would do it myself.

I used Sears Travel a couple times now and enjoy Warren at WEM.
