Cautionary Tale: Double & Triple Check When Booking
In this Travel Tip Tuesday we discuss what NOT to do when booking your vacation! Meggan talks about meeting a great Canadian couple while in Cuba, who were there for 7 days, only to learn on day 5, when they were locked out of the room that they had in fact only booked a 5-day vacation! This is a valuable lesson that everyone should heed – double and triple check your reservations before hitting the BOOK button, especially on trips such as all-inclusive vacations and flights! Meggan and Peter obsessively check the calendar 4-5 times before someone eventually just has to say – BOOK IT ALREADY! Better safe than sorry!
