This was a special trip for Linda and Dirk, as
they were taking Dirk's parents to California
for the first time. Because his parents don't
fly, they would be taking the train to California
from Illinois to start their trip.
In order to fit a tight budget, the Wieringa's
took advantage of our "self service"
option. They designed their own itinerary, and
booked their own arrangements. We provided the
vehicle and driver/guide Jeff Lowe. This saved
them $50 per day on the cost of the trip. I was
happy to spend a bit of time on the phone with
Linda to consult on decisions related to the itinerary,
while she did the heavy lifting.
Challenges:
|
|
•
|
Be accommodating
of Linda's fear of heights, while driving
a route that required some drives on windy
mountain roads with steep drop-offs. |
|
•
|
Prepare to provide
our local's expertise throughout their trip,
for an itinerary that we didn't design. |
|
Here's where we took them,
and what they did.
