thanks Tammy,
i work with leigh all the time. i think she uses me for her trickier reservations...like air for 1 person/resort stay and transfer for 2 people...not knowing who 2nd person is until a few weeks before departure type of stuff.

i don't think you can't do on expedia as easily.

i also consider my client more like a friend and truly want the best for them even if it is not always booking with me. i look at my relationship with a client as a long term one, not just closing the deal.

i am truly blessed because i get to do what i love and have made some great friends along the way (like sarah, ann, kate, angela, jennifer, michelle, paula, and the list goes on and on)...

I think it’s really nice that you posted this. My travel agent has a full time teaching job and told me she could handle booking over 50 people and I think she took on more then she could handle. My wedding is in May and now that the final booking is going through every thing turned out ok. However I know that a few people will still talk about what a pain booking the trip was after the wedding. For the girls that still have a choice you have to go with one of these girls with the experience and know how. I wish I had this opportunity but I didn’t learn about the forum until well into my planning. Good Luck!

tammy is always great and very patient with my multiple emails and changing this or that and sometimes not knowing whos going with me or where they are coming from until a few weeks before the wedding. makes my life a lot easier.

Hi, Verenicce -

You might get a faster response by sending Tammy a PM or an email, she's been a little busy lately, and I am not sure how often she gets to check back on this thread. Hope this helps!

That is so cool you can do that. Are you able to just lock in the price & then fill in the name a few weeks before?
