you're looking for a honeymoon they think "ker-ching" and go for the up-sell?

And I'm not sure I'd neccessarily care about the opinions of a girl who's only made it as far in life as becoming a travel agent.

and advise on hotels. I knew where I roughly wanted to go but just wanted her to make sorting it all out easier. I did the east coast of the states myself and while it all worked out fine it was a massive ball-ache to do. Lazy yes, unimaginitive no

But these companies will have other departments such as tour groups etc which is still as strong as ever.
