We all have that friend who is the one in the group to plan the whole vacation. They travel often knowing the best places; best cruises; best local spots. That is who we are; we’re here to help you plan your trip. Whatever the reason you’re traveling, we’ve got you covered. Even if you only need to book a hotel because you’re heading to your family reunion in Petoskey, and you refuse to sleep in your Great Aunt’s guest room because it smells like mothballs. However we do specialize in cruises, all-inclusive, family vacations, and other resort destinations like Las Vegas.

Word of mouth is how people find us, which is why the name; “talk to our vacation planning friend” they will take care of you.

Your Vacation Planning Friends,
Robert and Erika Novak

FAQs

Q How much does it cost to work with a travel advisor?

Typically Nothing! We are paid by the resorts, cruise lines, etc. so we do not charge a service fee in most cases.

Many resorts, cruise lines, hotels, and airlines have price parity, the cost is same whether you book through us, direct with the resort, or with an online booking engine.

The difference between using a travel agent is that we help you plan a stress-free vacation without the hassle of going it alone.

Q Why should I book with you instead of an online booking site or direct with the resort?

With us, you get exceptional personal assistance before, during, and after your vacation.

Your budget is important to us and we strive to get your vacation within the budget you've set for it. There's no pressure to go above and beyond what you're comfortable with. You cannot enjoy your dream vacation when you're stressed out about paying for it.

We provide honest advice about all resorts, cruises and destinations to help you choose the perfect vacation for you.

You also benefit from our personal connections, we have an easier time getting you perks (like getting your room upgraded) because we work with many of these cruise lines and resorts regularly.

Q Do I have to pay up front for my vacation?

No! The deposit requirements are set by the resorts, cruise lines and the tour operators we book through. Deposit rates vary based on the type of travel or package you select, and the time you are traveling.

The deposit is made via OurVacationFriend.com directly with the cruiseline, resort or tour operator. At no time do we as travel advisors ever charge your credit card directly. This way, you are assured that your deposit is applied directly to your vacation at the time of booking.

Most vacation packages require that you pay the balance 45-60 days prior to your arrival. Again, that payment is made directly to the supplier not to us.
