The Planning process : Inquiry to Booking

---

Once you’re ready to start planning and fill out my inquiry form found on my website, I’ll reach out with any follow up questions and start to get to know you better. I will probably assign some “homework” to do (former teachers gotta teach). This will allow me to get to know you on a personal level and I can have a clear understanding of how to best serve and come alongside you.

Now it’s my time to get to work matching the feedback you’ve given me to the right experience and destination for you! I use my expertise and work with destination partners to present your customized itinerary to you. Remember, I do not charge you any planning fees. My services are 100% complimentary!

After you take time to review your proposal, we will make necessary adjustments based on your personal preferences and lock in your official plan! Most of the time, you will pay a deposit to lock in your vacation in addition to the cost of airfare. 

Let’s celebrate! Your deposit is made and your vacation is officially in motion! I will be there for you step by step from now until you return. All that’s left for you to do is get the countdown started! I will develop your detailed itinerary that will be shared via an app and send reminders along the way on any steps to prepare for your departure!

Between booking your trip and your travel dates approaching, you are sure to have a few extra things you’ve thought of that you’d love to have included. Rather than sending individual requests one email at a time, approximately 2 months prior to departure, I will reach out to help make sure all of the little, special details are included in your experience to make your trip complete. 

Two weeks before you leave, I’ll send you off with hard or electronic copies of every document you may need. This includes your custom itinerary, reservation confirmations, and tickets. I’ll also send helpful reminders, recommendations, and travel tips unique to your destination all loaded into your travel app you can access anytime.

When you board the plane, you will board with the full confidence that you have someone back home who has your back. My job isn’t done until you are home, and I will be working behind the scenes of your vacation confirming appointments, touching base with your hotels ahead of time, and tracking flights.

I will check in periodically to be sure everything is going smoothly, and will be there for any questions., concerns, and issues that may arise. When you return, I will follow up to hear how everything went!
