Should I use a travel agent to book a couples vacation?
Using a travel agent is a decision that you and your significant other need to come to, but it's one that I actually recommend. When you use a travel agent, you have an advocate. If something goes wrong on that trip or if you need some particular insight, that travel agent is going to be there for you. Usually there is a fee associated with it, but often it is well worth it. A travel agent can take care of many of the details that you either don't know about or will slip your mind, and end up being a source of friction between you and your significant other. I really recommend travel agents as a way to smooth the path.
