Travel is personal - texting is not.

That is why actually speaking to your travel agent is the best way to insure a vacation that exceeds your expectations.

It's smart business to cater to a customer's preferences. Texting can save a busy parent's sanity when trying to check off tasks on your never ending to do list.   Over 6 billion text messages are sent in the U.S. each day.  Being popular doesn't make it perfect. That said, I would be doing my clients a diservice by planning their vacations in this way.
