When planning a vacation...?

Question

do you do it yourself or go through a travel agent? which is better?

Answer 1

the advantage of a travel agent is that if they specialize in the vacation you want to take (cruises, Greek islands, European, etc.) they can guide you to the best the area has got to offer. a good travel agent will ask you a lot of questions go get you the best vacation they can.

the advantage of planing your own vacation is that you can pick exactly what you want (if you do your research) and could pick just what you want or need. who knows your tastes better than you.

Answer 2

I like to plan my own. it's hard work but fun. When the family is involved  it makes the vacation great. It's cheaper too unless you can get a great package deal

Answer 3

I always do it myself.  If you take your time and do adequate research, there's really no reason to use a travel agent.
