Quick question please

Hi

Am off to New York and Vegas for the first time in May, having shopped around for prices at both the travel agents and online i have found that if i booked it all myself i can save around £1000, would anyone advise against this, as i'm a little hesitant to actually press the 'confirm' button when going to book the flights. I've looked at the timing of the flights and the hotel availability and everything looks okay. Am i worrying for nothing?

Thanks in advance for any advice given.;)

    Why are you worried, why pay travel agents commission?

    Do it!

    Hi Blondie.

    We've booked a 2 week holiday in Florida using the DIY route and it is nerve wracking at the time but you have such a good feeling when it all falls into place.

    If we can do it, anyone can.
    ;)

    You can spend your time alone re digesting past regrets,
    Or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who can forgive yourself.
    Makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
