Sometimes I feel like I really should have gotten a job as a travel agent. I mean, I'm pretty much my families unofficial travel agent already! Whenever my parents want to go on a trip, either with the family or just the two of them, I'm told where they want to go and when. Then it's up to me to find flights, hotels, car rentals. I even help them find what attractions are near by. I used to always have to figure out all of the maps and directions to everything as well, but dad's learned the joys of map quest and so he usually takes care of that himself.
Anyways, my parents are currently in San Diego. They decided to take advantage of the JetBlue flights there before it gets cancelled. There is a particular hotel that they've stayed at numerous times, and loved. So of course, that's where we booked them. Then yesterday morning, I get a phone call about how horrible the hotel is this time, and the staff are just completely rude. So now, I'm scrambling to find them something better! I'm happy to say that I succeeded! I got a phone call about 20 minutes after they had checked into the new hotel, and it was like night and day. But now I just need to get them new maps and directions of where to go!
lol, Maybe I missed my true calling! I should be planning trips! I guess for now though, I'll just be content with being the family travel agent. Time to start planning for Hawaii in May!

I'd let you book things for me. What are your current rates to Peru?
ReplyDeletelol! Well I guess that depends on when you're going. But from what I hear you've already gotten a great rate! How long are you going to be gone?
ReplyDeleteI actually just barely got off of the phone with my parents, leading them turn by turn to an in-and-out burger. I think I need to ask for a commission! lol
You remember when we were thinking about going to school to be travel agents? We should have done that, that would have been a blast!
ReplyDelete:) I do remember that! It would have been fun, except I doubt that there is a ton of call for Travel Agents anymore. Not when it's so easy to set up vacations online by yourself. A year ago, my parents went to a travel agent to see about planning a trip to Hawaii last November. I was able to book them the same trip online with a better hotel for less money!
