Hi there,

This is off topic (not a weight loss issue). Any way, does anyone know how travel agencies work? I heard that they book your vacation for you, give you the bill and then you can pay the travel agency back in payments? Is this true or do you have to pay in full?

I'm so confused and I don't want to call one and feel like a dumb *kitten*! LOL :ohwell:

    Hehe, my mom owns a travel agency, actually! It depends on what kind it is. My mom specializes in package vacations and honeymoons, so she'll book everything from flights/hotels/excursions, cruises, etc. She doesn't do just plane tickets, etc., as you can usually book them yourself on Orbitz or whatever.

    I think that you pay a deposit, and then they book everything for you, and finally before you go on your trip you pay the balance. Just give them a call, they normally will give you information for free, you only pay when you decide to book a trip.

    Have fun!
