26 Sep Tour Operators Take Care of Details!
6:42 A.M.: Staying in bed. Let’s see. . .we’re here on assignment to photograph a particular portion of the town, and neither of us have been here before. While the principal focus is landscape and visual interest shots with no individuals, we are going to photograph a few of the locals on location at noon. Need to get up and moving.
8:00 A.M.: Leave hotel. We don’t have to be at the subway stop for 2 hours. Need to find somewhere to eat.
9:00 A.M.: Discovered an Einstein’s Bros.. Bagel joint (never disappoints), but just realized that we actually have to get to the subway a half hour before because the ferry we need to catch is leaving earlier than we thought. Scurry ensues.
9:15 A.M.: Also realize we forgot one of our cameras. Have. To. Have. It. Back to the resort.
9:35 A.M.: Barely made it into the subway in time. Like, barely. Still sweating.
10:14 A.M.: Waiting For the ferry.
10:20 A.M.: Ferry comes in. On our way. Anxiety of the morning is forgotten as we like the sun on the water temperatures, and an incredible view.
11:00 A.M.: Bliss ends. We disembark, just to realize that we forgot our movie (we are shooting both digital and film now). Despite the fact that there is an entire bag of the movie we love at the hotel room, one of us brings out a wise mobile, finds the closest camera shop, spends more cash on film, while another improvises on the plan and shoots electronic first. Blast.
2:36 P.M.: Wrapped up finally, and the shoot have a couple minutes to grab some lunch. This is all new territory. . . have no idea where we should eat. Where? Some pointers from individuals who know their way here would be really helpful about now.
3:47 P.M.: Found a place, and it was fine. Not awful, but not good, either. And, side note: they took forever to get the food. Time to negotiate the ferry and then the subway. At rush hour. Goody.
4:52 P.M.: Got lost our way back and stuck in traffic (#doublewhammy). And, didn’t realize it, but the ferry crossing of the afternoon is at 4:00. Looks like we are going to be finding a room for the night. And paying for the other one we have. (#sweet.) You know, the one that has our suitcases, pajamas, toothbrush, tooth paste? Yeah. That one.
Alright, let us get real now.
This whole timeline is obviously a bit of hyperbole, since these times we’ve got smart phones to help us navigate, as well as apps that can give you dining recommendations in fresh locations, driving directions, etc.. However, the point is sometimes when you’re traveling in a place that is new or touring a town you’ve never been in before, it is not uncommon to have hiccups on the way. You just have to roll with it.
This is one of those arguments for choosing to make your way. They specialize in caring for every aspect of the itinerary. They know the attractions, the transportation schedules around town, where to choose you to eat , the things you’ll want to see, and the routes. They give you the inside scoop that will make your trip that much more purposeful and stress free and can answer your questions. And, what is more? They do of the scheduling. They take good care of booking the rooms, bus rental Maine, lodging, bookings, etc.. It’s exactly what they do.
As soon as you’ve had the experience of ironing out the details on your own, you will have a increased appreciation for somebody who manages it! We often work to provide quality group transportation for their tour groups. We like being able to help you see new sites and explore areas you’ve never been before. Booking our bus rental Maine using a tour operator will simplify items and permit you to sit back and revel in your holiday a bit more.
