I do check for comparably-priced, similar quality places before using my points, but I've been able to use them for great deals in Hawaii, Sunriver, etc. I bought every other year points and that has worked out to be the correct amount for me to enjoy a week at one of the resorts. There are last minute deals too (both nights in the program and weeks at outside properties). Unlike some other points programs, this isn't a "right to use" program, it's shares in a trust that holds all the properties, so you don't get the same massive overselling happening. Yes, for some of the prime properties in the most popular weeks, you may want to book a year ahead to guarantee certain dates, but I've never had trouble finding a suitable property to book when I wanted to.

VI was great until they were bought by Westgate. We have had a timeshare since 1989 and receive a…read morebill in the mail for fees. All of a sudden we are getting harassing phone calls saying we didn't pay our bill. Upon further investigation I found out that Westgate sends out one invoice containing the amount due for all contracts (some owners have 10 to 15 contracts) and they now want owners to pay each line item on the invoice with a separate check or go online and pay each one separately. None of this was explained and although the money was paid, they wont credit it to the right account because it came in one payment. I was told by a representative that it's tough luck for the owners because that is the way Westgate wants it. And she actually said, well the good news is that your contract expires in 2030. Obviously Westgate could care less about the owners.

She knew the ins and outs of where to stay and where to avoid, got us a killer deal on a rental car, and had so many helpful tips for our trip.

Again she knew so much about the time of day she needed to fly out and the easiest connecting flight. Thanks, Jerri! Your a lifesaver:-)

This is a small visitor center and gift shop. It's staffed with helpful rangers and volunteers…read more They gave me recommendations to check out the nearby Pearson Air Museum (which is free) and it was a pretty cool museum. The visitor center itself has some informational displays about the history of the fort, as well as the archeological excavation process and how the fort became a national historic site. There is a section with animal and spirit masks by a Native American artist. The gift shop has a lot of books and literature for sale, along with the usual post cards, NPS patches, etc. It is somewhat small though. Large picture windows give a view of the grass and large trees. The trees obscure the view of the fort, so you have to make your way down to check it out!

I did not think the gift ship was much, very small. But there is an excellent 16 minute video that is incredibly interesting and well done. If you visit, be sure to see the video. It is accessible for all ages. From the visitor center, it's about a 8-10 minute walk to the fort.

She and her colleagues are…read moreprofessional, friendly, knowledgeable and really care about providing their clients with top notch service. They are experts in finding and planning the right vacation experience for you. Although they do specialize in small ship cruising, they can help you with all your travel wants. We have used them for 10 trips from cruising in the Northwest, a train in the Canadian Rockies, river and ocean cruises in Europe, Panama Canal cruise and a Disney cruise to Alaska. We just got back from our latest trip, a 50th anniversary celebration at Tanque Verde Ranch in Arizona with our children and grandchildren. It was perfect! Plenty to do for all ages, spectacular desert scenery and plentiful, excellent food. We already have 2 more trips that Cindy is helping us plan. Can't wait for our next adventure!

I made the mistake of booking a cruise for myself and ten family members with this agency. The…read moreservice from these folks was poor, bordering on fraudulent. The follow-up from this agency was terrible; I had to call and email repeatedly to get a response to simple questions. They were reluctant to offer any kind of group discount, although I found out later that the cruise line does offer this. They wanted final payment 120 days in advance versus the 90 day requirement of the cruise line. They tried to overcharge us on the early arrival fee. I asked the agent about booking a train to meet the cruise and was told to do it myself on the Amtrak website! Cruise paperwork and information that was supposed to be delivered to all travelers 60 days in advance was received about 10 days prior to departure, except for one couple who never did receive a complete package. The cruise was great, by the way. This agency is terrible - don't use them.

ALL the arrangements, between airlines tickets, train tickets and Hotel reservations were impeccable! And - even more impressively, they were assembled in an envelope in chronological order, in the order that I was going to be using them. I was so totally impressed with the organization, the arrangements; up to and including the luggage tags! It was all so well thought out and organized for me. Not only will I never forget that experience, I will always ask Nancy Fowler and WIT to make my future travel arrangements for me. Furthermore, I will strongly recommend Willamette International Travel to anyone thinking about travel! You guys 'Rock!!' Thank you so much! Marc

I contacted an agent to help with my families three week trip to Europe. The agent was kind,…read morefriendly and knowledgeable so I was really excited to have her plan our trip. I followed up 1 week after the call and she let me know she would have something to me in a week. This was February 10th and the last I have heard since. Since February 10th, I have been unable to get a response from her or the company about the travel plan. I sent multiple kind emails asking for a timeline, left voicemails and spoke to the person who answered the main phone pleading for someone to call me back. Against my better judgement, I still stuck with it thinking they were helping me. A full month later, I have still not received an ounce of communication and we are having to move onto a different company. It is putting our family in a bad situation and now is a month of time wasted. I have no idea why this agent "ghosted me" and is refusing the event reply to an email or call me back. A simple, "I am still working on it" or "it turns out I don't have the bandwidth to handle your request" email would have sufficed, however I can't event get that from her or the company. It is really disappointing and very unprofessional. This is my first experience with a travel agent in over 20 years and it was disappointing to say the least. I'd caution you on using Willamette International Travel if this is the way they feel the need to treat their customers. I can't imagine this happening if a problem with a flight or hotel reservation would come up, you would be on your own to figure it out.
