Travel Agent Updates

You wouldn't believe how much money Nicole is saving our clients!  It seems like every time I see her she has a new story about someone who thought they were getting such a great deal on a flight from the "on line" brokers, and then Nicole buzzes in there and saves them hundreds at the bat of an eye!  It amazes me!  I was like everyone else--I didn't think a travel agent could beat the online prices!  HA!  Was I ever WRONG!!! 
If you are planning your honeymoon, and want to find out what Nicole can do for YOU, give her a call at 219-299-3511.  Nicole makes appointments at times that are convenient for you, just like we do in the shop, and she is usually in the shop during our "walk in" hours, although she does a lot of the travel junkets so you might want to call her first.  She just got back from a trip to Mexico where she toured about 40 resorts in 5 days!  Whew!  It's what makes her really good at her job though. She knows her stuff and she is thrilled to be able to share it with you!

(Ok, so this isn't REALLY Nicole--but if she keeps saving people all this money,

we're going to have to get her the Super Woman outfit!!)

Disclaimer:  Just so you all know, and so that there is no misunderstanding about our relationship with Nicole and Aberdeen Travels,  we are giving her space in the shop because we know that it is something that will be a huge help to our couples who are planning weddings and honeymoons.  We do not receive a percentage, or a kickback, or anything else.  If you have read our "Favorites List" you know already, that's NOT how we roll! :)  Just like our vendors on our Faves List, we recommend them because we know they are good and they are going to be a valuable asset to YOU, our clients.

Save Big Bucks On Your Honeymoon!

Last Sunday at our "Taste of Aberdeen" party, Nicole, our new travel agent, was talking with a couple who attended. They told her they were going on a 12 day cruise and that they had a deposit down on it. Nicole told them she might be able to save them some money, so they gave her the particulars and she looked it up. They had booked the cruise directly with the cruise line, so Nicole was able to transfer the booking without any penalty to them, AND SHE SAVED THEM ABOUT 3000 DOLLARS!!! In looking at their reservation she found a number of things they didn't need, got them better travel insurance at a lower price, and saved them a bunch on the booking fees. She even got them a free upgrade and a $200 shipboard credit that they could use on their cruise!
So why am I telling you all this? Because A TRAVEL AGENT CAN SAVE YOU A BUNCH OF MONEY!!! There is a misconception that you can book a trip online and save yourself money. There is also a misconception that a travel agent will cost you more. Obviously, from the true story above, neither of these misconceptions hold up!
Not only can Nicole save you money, she can tell you about where you are going, usually from firsthand experience. So stop in and talk with her, she is here during our walk in hours on Thursdays 12 to 8, Fridays and Saturdays 12 to 5. You can call her for an appointment, or take your chances. Either way, doesn't it make sense to save some money on that honeymoon?
AND DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR THE FABULOUS DRAWING FOR 3 DAYS IN LAS VEGAS WITH AIRFARE!!!!
Happy Weddings!

Fabulous Travel Contest!!!!!!

Sunday, at our Taste of Aberdeen, we announced that Nicole Scott, our in house travel agent, was offering a contest to win 3 nights at the new Aria Hotel in Las Vegas, and the airfare to get there! We stayed next door to the Aria, and actually attended the Elvis Cirque du Soleis there, and I can tell you from personal experience that this is an AWESOME hotel!!

This is the wall of water that surrounds the entrance to the Aria, it's just beautiful! Inside is fabulous. We were amazed by all the unique and innovative surface treatments! Who thinks these things up?!?!
ANYWAY, if you would like to enter the drawing for this wonderful 3 days in Vegas with airfare for two deal, you need to stop in and see Nicole, and fill out your entry. We will be drawing the winners on April 30th!
Stop by during our "walk in" hours--Thursday from 12 to 8, Friday or Saturday from 12 to 5.

Oh, and by the way, your odds of winning this trip are MUCH better than your odds in Vegas! But that's another story!
