Is YOUR Passport A Problem?
3 Things You MUST Review About Your Passport
I remember the time I designed a trip for a client who initially thought she didn't need a travel agent's help.
She wanted to go to a resort in the Caribbean and had it all picked out and ready to book herself...
After a few points of contact, she realized that it was not a good fit and I helped her design the right vacation for her celebratory trip.

The sad thing? She never even knew that she would be denied entry onto the plane if he used that passport! They would have missed their vacation if I didn't catch it!

One of the biggest benefits of using Custom Memories Travel instead of planning online ourselves was the reassurance that we were making the right choices to make myself and my husband...
