Why Use a Travel Agent?

In this digital era, where everything is just a click away, we often forget the joy of human interaction.

Remember the days of strolling down the High Street to chat with your travel agent and leaving with a stack of brochures? Now, we are glued to screens, hunting for the best deal till the wee hours. But, why opt for a travel agent when the internet has it all? Well, Sam from No Fuss Holidays spills the beans on why a travel agent might be your best travel buddy.

Save Time

Surprisingly, using a travel agent can be a time-saver compared to planning your trip solo. These pros are like deal-hunting ninjas, with access to exclusive discounts and insider promotions. They can suggest hidden gems and thrifty options that might slip your radar. With their know-how and connections, travel agents can make your holiday dreams come true while saving you time and money.

Personalised Service

The cherry on top is the personalised service you get from an independent travel agent. Unlike generic online platforms, a travel agent can tailor recommendations to fit your unique preferences. Whether you're after a family-friendly escape, a romantic retreat, or a thrilling adventure, they've got your back. And the best part? This VIP service comes at no extra cost, so feel free to chat up a storm knowing you're getting top-notch advice for free.

Help and Support

On top of all that, a travel agent can be your guardian angel throughout your journey. From managing sudden changes in plans to assisting with emergencies while you're away, they're in your corner. Think flight delays, medical crises, or unexpected disasters - having a pro by your side can be a game-changer. They can liaise with travel providers for any special requests you might have and might even score you a sweet upgrade or freebies!

So, while online booking may seem like the easy route, using a travel agent offers a host of perks that truly make it the savvy choice. From tailored service to insider tips and industry hook-ups, independent travel agents can help you plan a dreamy trip at the best price - all without costing you a penny. Plus, you get to support a small business and be a hero in the process.

It's a win-win, really!

COTTAGES

A staycation is when you spend your vacation at home or near your home.

People enjoy taking a staycation because it’s a great way to explore your own city or hometown, save money, and avoid traveling.

During your staycation, you can have fun doing leisurely activities getting outdoors like camping and having downtime away from devices.

We all know the benefits of taking time off work to relax and recharge ourselves.

But not all of us have the time or funds to take a big fancy vacations and many of us do not want to deal with the hussle and bussel of airports.

Here are some gardening tips for September...

Harvest vegetables, fruit, and other food crops on a regular basis as they ripen. Prep an area for composting.

Set out broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, collard, lettuce, spinach, and Swiss chard transplants in early September.

Sow dill and cilantro for fall harvest.

Divide your herbaceous perennials.

Net ponds now before autumn leaf fall gets underway to reduce the amount of debris entering the water.

Clean out cold frames and greenhouses ahead of autumn sowing and growing.

Add accent plants, like vivid mums and starry asters, that will provide autumn colors in the landscape.

Watch for frost warnings and cover tender plants
