The Flagg Agency

I will admit it, I am a huge fan of The Amazing Race. Season 17 and I was wondering how many locations can you identify in the above? Every time I watch it stirs a little wanderlust in me. I hope it does for you too. Did you know we can help you get to many of these locations on a cruise or through an all-inclusive package vacation? I would love to read which Amazing Race locations you can identify.

Our Office at Club Med Cancun

If you have ever read the note at the bottom of each and every post, you may have notived that we are travel consultants. One of the ways we become experts is not from book knowledge but from actually tasting, touching, feeling, smelling and exploring parts of the world. We thought we would use this post to show you the office of a professional travel consultant who travels.

Last December, I wrote a little bit about how my business came about due to an Inspiration from Volunteering. Our local Volunteer Aging Council recently held its Tropical Gala and showed this video that explains a little about the Meals on Wheels program. They asked me to take part and one of my client’s agreed to be interviewed for the video.

There are so many organizations out there looking for help in some way. If you cannot give in a monetary fashion, there are so many who would appreciate the gift of your time.

Call me to learn which of these offers is the best value

Did you know that when planning a cruise vacation, going solo at your computer could cost you? It could not only cost you in terms of dollars but also could cost you in terms of a nightmare vacation experience.

The graphic above represents images i saw recently on a variety of travel agent and supplier websites. After a while, they are start to blend together don’t they? If you do like to plan your entire vacation, are you asking all of the right questions? Can you read deck plans? What will you do when you get to the ports? What happens if there is a disruption to your itinerary or even your getting back to the port on time?

A bag of Butterscotch with every cruise

Any travel agent will tell you that they are different, but most of the time you will find they are all the same as a bag of butterscotch candies. Truth be told, we are all selling the same products to the same destinations from all of the same suppliers.

Online agencies can entice you with offers of pre-paid gratuities, shipboard credits, or bottles of wine. Many of these offers are great for the DIY’er who needs no hand-holding; knows exactly what he or she wants; and is adept at navigating all of the rules and regulations traveling by ship.
