I am open for recommendations for a Travel Agent for an overseas trip this summer. It's to South Korea. If a travel agent could save me money, I am open for it. I have enough airline miles for one free ticket on Delta and there will be 4 or 5 of us going. I am trying to convince DH to go.
If he doesn't go it will be:
Me
DS who will be a month shy of 26 years old.
DS age 16
DD age 15
I have also been trying to convince DS (who would be 24 by summer) to go but he doesn't like to spend money and doesn't like the idea of a long flight. He's not the sight seeing type of kid either.
The relative we would be staying with is my dad and step-mom. Step-mom is Korean. Dad can't get out and do tourist-y things anymore. He would probably only go to indoor a/c places. The days we would be out sight seeing and exploring, he would not come with us. He would probably just go to work on those days.
Heads up, I lived there for over 5 years and have relatives there, so I am EXTREMELY familiar with the country already. I use to fly out of Inchon every six months for several years and have worked about 6 weeks (over the course of several years) at the airport for military exercises, so I am also familiar with the airport.
I have hotel reservations at Dragon Hill Lodge on Yongsan Army Installation in the middle of Seoul for part of the trip and the other part we will stay with at a relatives house in Daegu. I am thinking of staying one night in Busan at the beach. I went on a MWR trip one weekend and we stayed at a hotel across from the beach, but there was a nicer hotel we went to eat at on the beach. We would also plan a DMZ trip through the military base. My oldest DS has been to the DMZ twice already, once in 5th grade, one age 18. I have been once. The two younger ones haven't been to Korea since age 18 months and 4 months, so of course they do not remember anything. They were both born there (in the military hospital in Seoul), so this should be a interesting trip.
But if a travel agent wants to see what they can come up with and assist with, I am open to a discussion. Or, with theses details, would a travel agent not even waste their time. LOL. I am thinking I would know more than a Travel Agent. Still open to suggestions.
