Sue is the best! I rarely use a travel agent because I've been using fare aggregators like Google…read moreFlights or Orbitz but I recently had Sue at Traveltyme make some arrangements for me and I will definitely work with her again. Here's why: Fare aggregators are great but it's really great to have an advocate on your side. I often fly with surfboards and I had some questions about costs as some policies have changed recently. Sue helped me find the BEST flights (Alaska Airlines $25 both ways!) and also corrected me when I was mistaken in thinking that Hawaiin Airlines had the same deal. Anyways, it costs the same as doing it yourself and, even though I have tons of experience organizing my own travel, Sue has more experience, can get questions answered and that kind of advocacy is invaluable and worth the $5 extra you might end up paying.

It's hard to believe, but I've been working with Traveltyme for over 30 years. My first company…read morestarted using Traveltyme to book all of our business travel and they did a fantastic job of finding the best fares and being available when there were cancelled or missed flights or changes required at the last minute. Over the years, I have continued to use Traveltyme for personal travel and have introduced them to my family and friends. Traveltyme has booked our vacation trips and tours around the world including Europe, Costa Rica even obscure resorts in the Tahitian Islands. You may ask why I continue to use Traveltyme now that we have online travel options. The answer is service! Travel is always challenging and there are still flight cancellations, delays, missed connections, and changes of plans. Traveltyme is available 24/7 and has rescued me many times, booking alternative flights, finding special transportation, changing hotels, and doing it quickly (at all hours) to save me time and money. You won't find that with online booking services. Give Traveltyme a try and you may never go back to online booking.

Candace is the *best!*…read more I am not a typical traveler, and I was not looking for someone to help me plan a vacation. After hours of researching fares online, using the various discount sites (Travelocity, Priceline, Expedia, and the other guys) I went to AMEX and even AAA, as I am members of both. Yeah, they were fine, but I was wasting hours of my time NOT getting answers to how to make my trip smooth and effortless. I decided to try a travel agent for once in my life. I love flying: I hate the hassles of the airport. It just gets worse every year. I wanted to see if a pro could "just do everything for me and get me on the plane without the lines and hassle." I needed to book a flight to Costa Rica. I knew where I was going to stay, and when I wanted to go (etc.). The problem was that I had options of which airports, which airlines, and times (not just the $ amount). Look, if you aren't 17 anymore, you might want to think about your travel experience. How fun is it--or how much of a drag is it to get to the airport, stand in line, stand in another line, get frisked by TSA, and forget customs! Ugh! * * * All of this magically went away! * * * I called Candace. I said "I know where I want to go (blah blah blah) and she actually listened to me tell her what I wanted to do. She surprised me by finding me a BETTER airline than I had found in several hours. She guided me though the TSA pre-check, CLEAR, and Global Entry processes. She even sent me highly detailed information (with pictures!) of what I can take on the plane and how to avoid hassles with bring a laptop, iPad, and extra battery packs. She changed my trip from a hassle of questions to a dead-simple "show up, go here . . . they will escort you to the front of the line, where you will be put in the front of the next line, and all you have to do is get on the plane and enjoy your trip." She even helped me figure out how and when to order a tasty meal (for free) on the plane before I went to the airport. Just in case you don't know, one of your biggest hassles flying are the airports you have to layover in. They are not all the same, and most have special lounges you can hang out in to make your "airport experience" infinitely more fun (and less stressful). If you are planning a trip, you need to talk to Candace. Her fee was so cheap ($550 LESS than other TAs I had considered) that I am embarrassed to say here. But the treatment I had was first class. On my first phone call we got everything cleared up and set in motion. And she kept track of my progress over the time as well. I am a fan for life. No more stressing myself out trying to save a buck flying. It is worth three times the price to have a REAL travel agent do the hard work for you, so you can just pop in to the airport and breeze through all of the lines while everyone else is surly and tired of waiting. I feel bad for anyone who travels like that. There is a better way, and that is why I am writing this review.

Toni planned our honeymoon vacation and did an excellent job…read more My family has worked in the airline business for decades, and also other family members as travel agents. I know how to plan my own trips and have traveled extensively. However, when it came to planning my honeymoon, this was one trip that needed to be perfect. Mid County Travel took us through the options, worked with our budget and paying for the trip on a schedule while also planning (and paying for) a wedding. Every question we had was answered in a timely manner. I highly recommend the personal services offered by Mid County Travel. P.S. If you look at my other reviews, they are all positive. I only review places and services I feel are outstanding. I won't do negative reviews.

She is the BEST!

From the first contact to my last "goodbye / thank you," Early Bird Airport Shuttle service was…read moreawesome. They communicated with me by phone, immediately sent a follow up email with details about logistics, cost, tipping for a super early flight.

And two, they sent a confirmation on both ends the day before so there was no question that they were coming. Highly recommend!

It works really well when you know you'd like to be close enough to beaches and parks, low-key restaurants and cafes, but not in a noisy place. The rooms are comfortable, a bit quaint, at times they show a bit of age. Still, this unique inn is big enough to be a thoroughly professional clean and cozy venue. I've been here twice now, and would stay again. Helpful, daily housekeeping service is appreciated. At at time when many places offer this a few times a week, or maybe only by request, Bella Notte keeps you well-stocked and ready for your stay. The gentleman behind the desk is friendly and helpful. I recall having to phone the Inn a few times prior to booking, and he was knowledgeable and patient. (I sometimes couldn't fully get their website to work) The small parking lot is big enough so cars have plenty of room to park and to move. The location of the Inn is somewhere between the West Side of Santa Cruz and Capitola to the east. Many things to do -- or not do, if you like. I realized that on Sunday there is a long-standing farmers market just a couple blocks away. Also, there's a couple places to for breakfast and lunch, as well as a small Mexican bakery/store nearby. No pix, sorry! Still, definitely recommend.
