I'll quote it here in its entirety for you: **** 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! Jimmy **** Nothing there about "asking if anyone might have knowledge that might help make a decision." Jimmy is just looking for information commonly supplied by travel agents. No, I am not "all-knowing." But I know enough to know that Jimmy is asking for information commonly supplied by travel agents. Of course, if you yourself want to play travel agent for Jimmy gratis...by all means be my guest. |

Several travel agents, and many seasoned cruisers, post on rec.travel.cruises and answer questions such as the OP's. |

Not every travel agent will know all the necessary information either. When we have worked with a travel agent, we have found it quite helpful to do independent research. |

The OP asked a very generic question, and why you take that as an affront is a mystery. You must be one of these 'travel agents' you tout so much, looking for a commission. Why don't you get lost? You're still trying to sound all-knowing, and all you manage to do is to sound all-jerk. You really don't belong here with that attitude. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

And now throwing about ad hominems to and fro to boot. 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 seeks gratis for which he would have to pay a travel agent? Why be such an absolute hypocrite? |

By "do independent research" do you mean you yourself did the research or did you - as did the OP here - call on others to do that "independent research" for you gratis? |

When we have worked with a travel agent, we have found it quite helpful to do independent research. I don't know why people complain about a person asking a perfectly civil question. That's one of the reasons this ng exists. Even so, the distances involved are such that you might best hire a car. Tho' we did visit all those places as part of a car trip, we went to other parks too and we did not use a travel agent. I must admit the lonely, empty road to Moab was a bit intimidating. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

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. Doug McDonald |
