We only want to spend about $1000, give or take. We live in East TN and would like to go to a beach somewhere, but it's in May and I don't know if we can go somewhere where the water will be warm on that budget. Would it be worth hiring a travel agent? If so, where do I go? Thanks bunches!
Unless you want to plan it yourself, a travel agent isn't a bad idea.
But on your budget, I'd want to maximize the savings and search around for great deals myself. You know, BJ's and Costco have some travel planning services. Also, AAA is a great travel planner, too.
You can save money by examining all options. Get a vacation quote from a travel agent and then do some research yourself. See if you can find better deals. If not, book with the agent. Nowadays, internet deals and hotel/air/car packages are sometimes cheaper than using travel agents.
However, many travel agencies (especially the bigger ones) offer a better fall net than individuals airlines, hotels, etc. For example, if your flight is canceled, you can call the travel agency who will put you on the next flight much quicker than the airline's customer service will.
Honestly with your budget, your best option would be to definitely get a travel agent, they're in the business of knowing how to get the most bang for your buck...and they don't cost you anything to work with them. Check your local area for a travel agent!
sure, why not? they don't cost you anything (they get paid by the airline/resort that you book with. you can tell them your budget and all the amenitites that you want in a resort, and they can find a place for you.
If you are geat planning vacations, I could do it. Like my wife and I are not that good. So when we finally go on the cruise for our honeymoon.
