Have stayed in Spain 3 weeks and Switzerland Tucino (lakes region on the Italian border) 3 weeks with this wonderful and amazing non-profit, which has people who help you if you need, or not, and give you the experience of how locals live. Everything over operating costs goes to a foundation that helps seed great companies like people who recycle glass to make counters, or decomposable water bottles, or helps home care workers create co-op for medical insurance. I suggested a story to Vernon Loeb when he was at the Philly Enquirer and it turned into a great story on the founder. http://www.untours.com/reg.asp?rid=326

You can also try using airline websites from another country, like delta.co.uk or something like that to see f the fares are less expensive that way. Definitely clear your cache!

While it's not in this area (it's in Texas!) we used Affordable Tours to book a Viking river cruise 2 years ago. They had their own discounts available for us, plus ones that Viking offers through them. Our rep was Stefania and she was great to work with.

I've regularly gone through Susan Coll@Liberty Travel in the Springfield Mall. Actually was just talking to her again today to see what is cheap and tropical for early spring.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a travel agent who can help plan a honeymoon in Hawaii? Thanks so much!

Susan Coll at Liberty Travel out of the Springfield Mall. Sent us to Hawaii for out honeymoon and it was amazing and about 1/2 the cost that I could come up with on my own.

Looking for any ideas of a travel agent vs. doing it on your own for a vacation in key west, Florida!! Help me you experienced travelers!!!
Leah M. replied:
You can do it yourself. Look at vacation packages offered by Expedia, cheap tickets.com and other travel sites. Are you flying or driving? If flying, you can usually get good deals on flight-hotel-rental car combos. Don't miss the butterfly house while you are there, and Sunset on Mallory Square. Hopefully you will catch the crazy cat man's street show. He does a lion taming type act, but with house cats. It's great.
This is for the frequent nomads that use air travel. We are new to the area (from the Pacific NW) and finding ourselves flying a lot back and forth from the west coast....

Download Sky Scanner app tells you which days are cheapest and sells all in one best rates without having to combine outbound with Inbound. Amazing Travel app. Don’t need agent anymore unless you travel international. BWI has good rates as well but have to drive to or from Baltimore. PHL has so many carriers, you should get good rates. Sky Scanner puts them together for you. #1 Forbes Travel App. Enjoy!
