Easy peasy Europe trip
Reviewed By Rima - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Germany ~ Europe
Meg handled the logistics of train travel in Europe for us snd made it super easy. She booked all our tix and reviewed train schedules with me to pick reasonable times. She also looked ip hotel reviews to help me decide which ones to pick. She looked up price differences between booking direct vs using points. We ended up doing a mix and match. She also helped with figuring out flights and using miles to book certain flights. At one point, I needed to put the bookings on a difficult credit card and she patiently worked through those changes.
