Coming back to the issue at hand:
How about walking the walk and not just talking the talk? How about you
doing the research for the OP and providing him with the information he

absolute hypocrite?

He may be asking for info that you don't get with a travel agent.

I've actually tried travel agents for vacations, and except for one
4-day add-on to a scientific conference in Hawaii, I've never,
ever, had one cope up with a suggestion that was any good.
Really. They've never even heard of most of the companies I've
taken group tours with in the past. They've never even heard
of most of the places I've been. And the places they
have heard of, such as the last try, Panama, they never came up with
anything suitable.


"He may be asking for info that you don't get with a travel agent."
hmmm...ok, I give up. Here is original poster's post -

*****
We are looking for a tour that covers the following parks ending in Las
Vegas.
We want to visit Arches National Park, Grand Canyon, Monument Park,
Bryce Canyon and ending with a 2 day stay in Las Vegas.

Any ideas if this type of tour exist?

Please Help!

Where in his post is he "asking for info that you don't get with a travel
agent"? Granted, he needs to work with a travel agent familiar with the
American Southwest and in particular Las Vegas, Arches National Park, Grand
Canyon, Monument Park, Bryce Canyon. Working with one specializing in the
New England states will probably not get him the information he seeks.
