I recently went on my first trip outside of the US. I'd been planning on doing this for awhile, but suddenly had the travel bug bite hard and decided to make it happen. Only one small problem: my traveling buddy and I have extremely difficult schedules in our work live to coordinate a time to vacation together. We decided the only way this was going to work was for us to use a travel agency instead to coordinate all of the nitty gritty details.
Enter Ride the Wave Travel. David (our agent) was extremely useful in handling the search, booking and general preparation of the entire trip. He suffered through many conference calls where we threw various date changes and reschedules his way with the best of positive attitudes. He even had to change our hotel reservation at a somewhat last minute when one of the cities we were originally going to visit fell off the trip, forcing us to extend our stay in a different city. It was so delightful not having to worry when plans changed. If something needed to be adjusted, it was met, "all right, let's call David and let him know".
The trip was a dream come true. The hotel, selected by David, was fabulous and it was wonderful not having to worry about any of the paperwork and just enjoy myself. I am a firm believer in properly detaching oneself during vacations, and I believe that step starts with the booking process. I would definitely recommend Ride the Wave travel to anyone looking for a good travel agency. I will be using them again this year for my next trip!
