I want to give a MASSIVE shout out to my travel agent, Peridot Harrison.
Actually first of all, let me give a shout out to ALL travel agents. I can’t imagine the hassle they must have been getting since the start of the lockdown in March. I know Peridot has had some really crappy people essentially blaming agents for things that could not be any less their fault.
Unprecedented is a big buzz word at the moment, but it’s certainly a correct one. Nobody could have predicted this, and the effect it would have on global travel. Everyone I know has had trips cancelled or postponed, but just about everyone I know has also been very gracious about it with the people who have helped book those trips.
Peridot has been on the receiving end of so many emails from me as I rescheduled our family trip so many times, or worried about whether we should move it again. And every time I apologised for bothering her, I was met with her reply saying that I wasn’t. She has done her absolute best for me and the family for several years now and is brilliant.
Peridot is a Travel Counsellor. If you have one, hooray! If you don’t, I highly recommend ours. She works from home and you don’t have to be close by, as she works over the phone and by email, so you could literally live at the other end of the country from her and still be her client.
As with all travel agents, you pay her nothing, but she gets commission from the places you book with when you book through her.
Check her out. She is (with the help of her business partner and best friend Claire who specialises in cruises) exceptional.
