If it wasn’t a sin to envy, I’d envy my sister-in-law; she is single with no children and has a great paying job which gives her the chance to travel all over the world! She is always talking about where she is going, or where she has just returned from. Her next trip is going to be to Africa; she has found an Africa travel expert to help her plan her trip.
She found this expert through an Internet site called travelstoreusa.com. She said that her boss recommended the site to her because they are great at customizing vacations and help to find the best deals while making sure that the vacation is full of the activities that you want to participate in. She has never used a travel agency before, she usually has just booked her own trips.
The last time I used a travel agent it was for a trip to Hawaii, many years ago. It was a great experience, being able to talk to a person that could give you good recommendations about what to see and so based on what you tell them your interests are. Much more fun than trying to do the research yourself! And a lot easier too!
