Hello LovesTimone and thank you very much for your advice. Very true very true! As always the people you look to for help are always trying to line their own pockets with no real concern for their customers. Thank you for smacking me into reality and making me realize, not that it didn't already cross my mind, that the best person to plan for my vacation in Japan was me. Just going to work harder, do more research and get it done myself. It's a shame that when a person and or a company holds itself out as an entity that will help you is only angling on how to separate you from your hard earned cash for the least amount of help it can provide.
I am a planner, and I have to know what is going on... some control issues, as well... Yes I might have some OCD traits... I want to get the most out of my budget, and use my hard earned cash for my family and our trip in making our memories.... not help someone else's get their family free flights, or hotel or whatever, and use me to get it... No Thanks....
There is alot of info out there, I just sift through it, and pull out what I want to do, and see, and experience, and what my family will like to do, or not do... then I start to formulate a plan... My notes in " My Book" are at around 50 + pages, and the notes on my computer are at about 100 pages...
I don't like feeling pressured, or pushed into something, especially when I have let the person know, where I'm at budget wise, and other requirements... I just will get up and walk away, with a Thanks for your time... and just keep moving along...
Have fun planning, and keep us posted...
