Great Escapes Travel was started nearly 5 years ago on the premise that nothing beats personalized service, experience, and attention to detail. While many Internet sites promise special deals, travelers are often unaware of restrictions, exceptions, and fine print. Making the choice based on price alone is not always the best course of action for travelers. We hear too many stories of travelers regretting that they didn't call us first.

Susan Rodgers recognized the need for experienced agents in the Internet age. While many succumb to the temptation of bargain Internet sites, Susan recognized the niche for knowledgeable, experienced travel professionals. She knew that travelers would appreciate the values of a full-service travel agency specializing in the needs of families and Honeymooners. Many travelers learned that they actually saved money by seeking the help of an experienced travel professional.

Susan is a wife and mother of two,and has been a resident of Acworth/Kennesaw, Georgia since 1988.  A graduate of Kennesaw State University in 1994, she later completed travel school and was in the top 4% nationwide in the national Travel Agent Professional exam.  She is a Certified Sandals/Beaches Specialist, as well as a Disney specialist and graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge.  She also maintains specialty certifications with a number of cruise lines as well. She is a member of CLIA, ASTA, and OSSN.

Great Escapes Travel is a boutique agency specializing in white glove service.  Susan's determination and hard work has earned her agency the "Best of Acworth/Kennesaw" award for 2008.

I am a small boutique agency who specializes in white glove service.   It costs you nothing to use my services, as I charge no fees.  With all the other wedding preparations and planning you have to do, why add any more to your workload?  Let me help you get the most for your vacation dollar.  I validate the quality of my packages and compare pricing against 5 different sources to make sure we have the best value.  If you are looking at booking with a mega agency, or an internet retailer, consider these things:

·         Most of the internet or mega-agency “travel agents” you will work with are simply call center employees with little or no professional travel education.  How hard, is a call center employee working for an hourly wage, really going to work on creating your dream honeymoon?

·         If there is a problem, who do you contact?  I communicate regularly with my vendors and they respond to any issues – quickly.

·         Your honeymoon is the single most important vacation of your life!  You don’t want to take any chances.

·         Not all travel agents are the same.  Ask about their training, credentials, and professional affiliations to make sure you are working with the real thing, and not someone looking to get a free vacation of their own.

·         I have a 100% client return rate.  Since I am a family vacation specialist, my training focuses on all types of families (honeymooners, families with children, empty nesters, and multi-generational groups).  All of my clients continue to use me for their regular vacation planning as well as honeymoons!

Working with my agency is very easy and convenient.  You don’t have to take time to come to my office—I can come to you, or we can schedule a phone call interview to discuss your idea of the perfect honeymoon and to obtain necessary info.  After that, everything can be done over the phone, internet, and mail.

I would love to schedule some time to talk with you in more detail about assisting you with your honeymoon. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
