Meet Dan Meister, CMP -

"Travel can be transformational with legendary moments
and the best education one can receive" 
As a traveler and event planner I've had my own share of travel horror stories including:
  • Weather delays
  • Canceled flights
  • Transportation strikes
  • Oversold hotels
  • Pandemics
  • Travelers having accidents or getting ill
  • Erroneous dates
  • And much more...

Welcome Aboard
However, I have learned and grown from all of these experiences and in reflection, discovered that some of my really amazing experiences started badly but in the end became valued legendary moments.  Often, legendary moments occur outside of the official schedule or were not scripted so always keep an open mind, vision and heart.  My favorite Legendary Travel Moment occurred at the Vatican in Rome, Italy…
It was early on Fathers’ day, Sunday, June 18, 2017 and the hazy summer Roman summer sun had just risen as our group of 66 parochial school families gathered early for a light breakfast at our hotel before filling taxis for the short ride to the Vatican.  As we gathered together to wait in the Vatican security line one of our families frantically told me they had just left their backpacks and wallets in the taxi.  Not a great way to start the day, but immediately we called and left a message with the taxi company and convinced our friends to continue their plans with the group and their day would get better. ​
After waiting in line and clearing multiple security checks at the Vatican we entered massive St. Peter’s Basilica (one of the largest churches in the world). and quickly met up with my Rome based priest and church official friend, Fr. Thomas and his staff.   Our names were double checked again by Vatican officials before being escorted down the small stairway in front of the main alter for exclusive access to the Vatican Grotto or Crypt right below the Basilica’s main floor and great alter of St. Peter.

We were all seated together in a roped area to enjoy and participate in a very special private mass in St. Peter’s Chapel facing directly into the crypt where Jesus’s lead apostle Peter remains are buried.  This was a joyous and collaborative mass where children, parents and grandparents all sang, read, prayed and contributed along with a special Father’s day blessing and Papal blessed gifts for the dads.  

​

It was a cherished, shared spiritual experience and unforgettable day for all.  After the mass, we enjoyed a private tour of the Basilica and even got to see Pope Francis in the Vatican Courtyard that afternoon for Sunday blessings and a papal parade through Rome that evening.   Oh, yes, the taxi driver immediately returned the forgotten wallets and backpacks left in his taxi to our hotel and the hotel left a message for us which we all played right after mass to everyone's relief.  The next day I escorted our group onboard an incredible 11-day Mediterranean Cruise followed by a trip to Venice with many other amazing legendary moments and experiences. What had taken over a year to plan ran flawlessly with many magical surprises and surpassed all expectations.

Why use a Travel Agent?

It's all about personal service, care and attention.  

Hiring a Travel Agent is like hiring any other professional personal service provider like an
​Accountant, Financial Advisor, Attorney, Personal Coach or Trainer, etc...

Here are some the top reasons to hire a travel agent and maximize your time and travel investment.
1)  Save Time and Hassle: Travel agents can take the hassle and frustration out of planning your vacation. They can research flights, hotels, and other travel arrangements for you, and they can book everything on your behalf. This can save you hours of time and energy with no long hold times. You will never have to wait on hold to speak with an inexperienced agent in a foreign call center. 

2)  Personalized and Custom Service: A travel agent will meet, listen and communicate with you in person regularly to understand your needs, and preferences.  Based on this they will recommend travel custom options that are right for you to help you achieve your travel aspirations. They can also recommend unique and authentic experiences to enhance your trip. 

3)  No Confusion:  How many times has this happened to you? When you google a destination, you instantly get thousands of responses for hotels, activities, flights, etc. based on algorithms dictated by the search engine and this can be confusing, overwhelming and definitely underserving.  Based on your conversations with your agency, they will design, create and review travel options based on your goals, desires and budget.  

4)  Save Money: Travel agents often have access to exclusive insider deals and discounts that are not available to the general public. They will help you book your vacation at the best possible prices by knowing the high, low and shoulder seasons and steer you away from items and services that will not benefit you or your travel experience.

5)  Enjoy Peace of Mind: Just read the papers, there is a fire, storm, strike or countless other unforeseen circumstances happening all the time that can easily affect and derail your vacation.  If something goes wrong with your vacation, your travel agent will be there to help you. They will work with the airlines, hotels, and other travel providers to get you the assistance you need.

6)  Help in planning milestone trips and Complex Itineraries: We know travel and how to add the splash for special events and the best route planning and suppliers for complex itineraries.  

7)  Support a Small Business:  We are a small business paying taxes and employing staff in the community. Your business is valued, and you will be supported and have access to the same travel professional you form a relationship with for as long as you wish. Travel agents are the backbone of the travel industry, and they play an important role in helping people have amazing travel experiences.

​We called Dan out of the blue one day to put together a trip to Germany and Austria for us, as our daughter was going to be in Salzburg for a month. He responded promptly, designed a trip for us, and guided us through the entire process. And he absolutely nailed it. We had never been to Europe before, but we will be back. And Dan will be the one to put it together. Can't recommend him highly enough!
