I got my MBA! (That's Monograms Booking Agent, silly)

When travel is at it's best, it's amazing.  Minds are opened, new experiences abound and lifelong friends are made.

But let's be real, the flip side can be truly horrible.  We've all heard tales (or experienced it first hand!) of transportation that never showed up, hotels that looked like a crime scene and waiting in line with the masses to see another disappointing attraction.

If you're like me, you love traveling but you hate the details.  I don't want to compare options for transportation or spend hours online looking for "the best" xyz in whatever city.  I want a friend or someone local to do it for me. 

This video from Monograms really hits it on the head.  Parts of this video made me cringe (I have BEEN there!) but by the end, I was cheering for the couple that did it right. 

The best part of my travel agent training has been exposure to the companies I never would have encountered on my own.  Monograms is the top of that list.  

What makes Monograms great?  It makes independent travel SIMPLE.

Monograms offers all-in-one packages that are organized, but not too structured.  It's perfect for those of us that want to travel on our own and do not want a cruise, all inclusive or other pre-planned tour. Trips are customizable and can be tailored for your needs.  

This is not your grandma's tour bus.  All Monograms trips include:  

• Hand selected hotels (with choices - you can choose where you stay!)
• Local hosts (who meet you at their airport and at the beginning of each day) to give their expertise and recommendations
• VIP sightseeing (skip the lines - who doesn't like that??)
• All ground transportation included.  In most multi-city trips, trains are First Class tickets or transfers could be by air, whatever makes sense 
• PERSONALIZATION:  You can add, delete, swap whatever you want.  This is your trip so you can make it yours.
• INDEPENDENCE when you want it.  Help when you don't  : the local guides are there for you... use them as much or as little as you'd like

With 35 countries on the list, I'm certain that Monograms has something for everyone. 
It's like planning your own custom trip, with none of the hassle and someone making sure you hit all of the good stuff.  

I'm already planning a London and Ireland trip for Matt and me!
I encourage you to visit their site and check out the options.
Which one would you choose?
