[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been planning trips on my own (we do two big trips a year), and always end up with an awesome itinerary but its taking a toll on me (I am in my 40s), and I feel I spend too much time which is time away from exercise, work, kids, dog etc. Would love recommendations for some travel agents you use![/quote]

I use smartflyer. 
I agree with a lot of the above posters. I’m only using them for a trip for a destination that is complex, a place I don’t know and generally luxury and high-end. If I’m staying at the Hilton or Marriott or Airbnb I book it myself.
A well planned fantastic vacation with all transfers arranged, seamless pick up from the gate at airports in Asian countries, whisked away very quickly through customs/immigration and then five star guides and walking tours and off the beaten path places. A good travel advisor (TA) understands what interests your family and the kind of things you like to do and whether or not you like to immerse yourself in a local culture… We do and the TA will recommend the right tour guides/destinations/hotels that give you the experience your family needs. They have people on the ground a phone call away.

At a 5star hotel the manager brings you personally to the most upgraded suite(gratis) and periodically sends a cocktail or treat for kids when hanging in lobby. They know we have a nut allergy and would never bring nuts…etc.

Anyway not for everyone - but works for us.
