Short weeks – just how it should always be!

Well it’s Tuesday and the first day back after another Bank Holiday weekend, I must admit that it is rather nice to start the week on a Tuesday!

I have just booked a 5 day, 4 night break in Disneyland Paris and being an Insurance Broker I like an easy life so I thought it would be much easier to use the services of a local Travel Agent in my town – Billericay. How wrong I was. In between them simply not ringing me back they tried to tell me I had to depart on a Saturday despite me asking to go Monday to Friday ideally. Then they quoted well over £1600.

I was shocked so I did not think much more about it until I was moaning about the cost as it meant we could not go away. I then decided to go onto the internet – at the end of the day I buy alot online so perhaps as I did not think the Travel Agenct was adding any value then I should try and find myself a deal.

And a deal I found. 4 nights, Disney Davy Crockett Ranch, hafl board including those overpriced character meals with euro tunnell for my car all for less than £1200.00.

Now that was enough to put a smile on my face!

If you are going to be a Travel Agent, Insurance Broker, Estate Agent you have to add value to the chain not be the painful section – I would have happily paid more to the Travel Agent just not that much more!

Enjoy the week.
