Travel Counsellor

Postby Ags » Fri Sep 28, 2007 5:48 pm

I have spent the last week to ten days browsing the internet for holidays and missing GS Travel just to go in and get some ideas of what was available.
I decided on Tuesday to phone Tommy Millar who is working from home now as a travel counsellor. His voicemail said he was away from his desk until Tuesday evening but would call back as soon as he got a message. I told him what I was looking for and said I would call him on Wednesday. He called me on Wednesday at just after 9am with some suggestions and by Wednesday afternoon I had a holiday booked with better flights than I had picked out - much nicer accommodation than I had looked at - and all for less money too. So don't forget Tommy is there like I nearly did!!

We had the same experience looking for holidays and like you called Tommy who sorted us out in no time with as little hassle as possible.

I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

South Beach Miami!! The art deco area. But learn salsa dancing first.

Where in Florida are you going?

Salsa dancing sounds great fun bobbie but with a 9 year old you can guess where we heading!! Staying at the Sheraton Studio City on International drive so if anyone has any advice on the do's and don'ts of Disney and Universal etc please shout!! Everybody you talk to seems to have their own favourite bits and its all so confusing for a tizzy blonde :oops:

:lol: :lol: You'll probably have to let the 9 year old lead. I've been all over Florida, but have never gone to Disney World, so don't haev a clue. Sweltered is right up the road from there. Hope you have a great trip!

DO NOT give into the buy your discount disney tickets here places, Universal studios also a smashing place as is seaworld, so much to do.... if going to nasa, the beeline freeway was a toll road last time I was on it.

Yes, if going to the Cape take plenty of quarters, it with cost about $6 round trip in tolls.

The not eating in the parks is a good idea too.

Love seaworld , hate universal.
OOH did they knock down McCaigs folly.....

Been 6 times to Florida, and not got a bad word to say about it.

If you are into roller-coasters then Busch Gardens is a must,great day out.Do'nt be put off by the word "Gardens".

Do'nt be fooled into thinking you are getting a bargain at Outlet Mall(mostly seconds) at top of International Drive.Better off paying a few dollars more and getting 100% genuine at J.C.Penny at the Florida Mall.
