Why Having a Travel Planner is Clutch -Everyone is talking about the boom happening in travel. 2019 was projected to be one of the busiest travel years and it has not disappointed. Along with the travel boom comes the price boom and predatory markups from travel agents which is why I decided to become a Travel Planning expert offering my clients the best in travel logistics saving them time and money.
Travel planners are passionate about helping people travel. My mission is two-fold. I encourage fat travel and I want my clients to enjoy the luxury of not stressing about planning their travel. When I started my travel planning business in 2017, everyone asked “What is a travel planner”? Simply, travel planners are hired to plan travel. We are responsible for travel logistics ensuring you travel well and know as much as possible before you travel. Check out why having a travel planner is CLUTCH: 1. Travel Can Be Complicated Travel requires hours of dedicated research. If you are new to traveling, the hours you spend attempting to plan travel will be overwhelming. Travel planners have their ears to the ground and know where to look for deals saving you time and money. Have a professional travel planner to handle travel logistics will make traveling more enjoyable. It will also impact how much you spend how well you enjoy your vacation or getaway. 2. Travel Planners Know What You Do Not Professional travel planners love what they do, or they would not do it! We spend hours researching, traveling and educating ourselves for the purpose of offering you the best in travel advise and planning. It’s our job to know things that will make your travel experience enjoyable. We learn tricks of the trade which we pass along so you are aware of what to expect. It’s really a beautiful partnership. Travel planners technically provide you a prescription for travel and it’s up to you to take the medication. 3. Save Time and Stress Less Travel planners save you time and money, period! Reading about travel destination is fun, but planning a trip is hard work. It requires paying attention to details. It requires knowing the best way to travel. Small travel details and logistics can make or break your experience. Travel planners travel, observe, and find loop holes to help us better advise our clients. 4. The “Just in Case” Situations Travel can sometimes be unpredictable. When things happen, your travel planner is there to save you time and offer professional advice about your situation. Travel planners are also trained to be proactive addressing possible issues they see before they reach the traveler. The perks are tremendous. 5. Travel Planners Provide Trust and Comfort In a world with computerized everything, having a travel planner on your side will prove to be helpful. People do business with people, not computers or travel agents you may or may not know or see face-to-face. Travel planners are with you from day one, by your side, sending reminders, following up with fellow travelers (for those traveling in large groups), processing payments, offering advise etc. Unlike travel agents, travel planners offer the option of traveling with clients to ensure their group travel is flawless. Keeping up with a group travel itinerary will leave you exhausted after your "vacation" you intended to enjoy. The great news is travel planners are here to serve you before, during and on your vacation as needed. 6. Travel News & Updates Sometimes travel destinations are hit with horrible weather making it impossible to travel. Your travel planner will keep you informed of any and all changes that might arise. 7. Save Money – Enjoy the Luxury of Not Planning Your Own Travel Because travel planners are always looking for the best deals, you will save money. Because travel planners know where to look, you will save money & Because a travel planners goal is to save you money…you will save money. *insert smile* 8.Travel Planning Is a Luxury It’s simple, you deserve to enjoy the simple luxuries in life. Long gone are the days where you work until you are too old or dead to travel. You work hard now…you should play hard now...and you don’t need anyone's permission. Repeat after me: Vacation is not a luxury, it’s a lifestyle. The same way you plan to buy a new bag, shoes or outfit is the same way you purpose to travel. Travel planning is an inexpensive luxury you can’t afford not to invest in. The perks are more attractive than the countless hours you will spend only to end up where you started. 9. You Could, But Why Would You So, I’m no fool…I know you are perfectly capable of planning your own travel. However, do you have the time, do you want to, are you great at it, and do you have the patience to do it? Why waste time planning when you could invest your time making more money, so you can travel. My suggestion, you keep your bags packed and let me do the planning. MUAH, Lady Kay

What a trip...! This #girlstrip was one for the books. I've been to Myrtle Beach several times, this is the first time I think I actually engaged in what the area had to offer. This girls trip was fun and exciting. We were ready for adventure and that is just what we had. To just say we had a great, fun and relaxing time is a huge understatement. Here are just a few highlights from our trip. We stayed 3 beautiful nights in Myrtle Beach, SC in a 2 bedroom ocean front resort. Between the five of us we split the cost of the trip and was able to enjoy a much needed getaway before the official end of summer. A summer without beach time, is not a summer... We ate until our hearts were content. One girl said she gained 5 pounds...LOL but I think she was just messing. Meals were a mixture of fine dinning and home cooked goodness. We cracked so many crab legs...We left when they turned the open sign off...don't judge us. We were trying to get our monies worth...ha ha! Two of the meals we cooked were so good, we debated which meal was the best...Taco night or my famous rich and creamy grits? I think the group decided they were both equally memorable. Everyone went back for seconds...so I'd say it was pretty darn good! I slow cook my grits for over an hour...string often to ensure smooth slap yo mamma grits. Now... I can't tell you what I put in them...however I always make them for my #Kaycatioin crew when possible (smiles big)! no more stranger dangerThere are several advantage to traveling with people you don't know. Some people shy away from it but I say...embrace it, you never know who you will meet and how that person will impact your life. After all, this is why I started #KaycationTravel. I saw people's desire to travel more! Connecting with others who desire a traveler's lifestyle is a no brainier and who doesn't like traveling on a budget! Group travel offers everyone a chance to travel. Bringing people together is what I do. It's a gift. Something magical happens when you allow yourself to meet new people and share new experiences. And let's be honest, most of the people in your regular circles aren't trying to travel. They are afraid of everything and the excuses they give about why they can't travel is nuts...LOL. But I know there are people who will travel if the price is right. When you travel in a group, you get the best of both worlds. In a world full of hate it's refreshing to meet like minded people who love to travel, find power in being social and embrace new adventures. These two (below) just met on our trip...can you tell? They rode a banana boat...If that doesn't help you bond with people i don't know what will LOL. They made parasailing look easy. I think its safe to say they will be good friends long after their #Kaycation. it's so hard to say goodbyeLeaving a great trip is always bittersweet. However, we went out with a Bang. We enjoyed a great meal, slamming drinks, a screaming boat ride and good laughs. Friendships were born, hearts were lifted, a birthday was celebrated and we all made it possible for each other to share in this much needed weekend. I'll let the pictures do the talking. Thanks for taking time to read my blog. Next up is Christmas in Las Vegas! You know what they say about Vegas...What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas! So, make sure you are there! |
