Start to Finish, in four steps.

You always know what's next.

Tell me the who and the when.

Pick your trip on the Start planning page and fill out a short trip form on Fora's secure site: who's going, your dates and your budget.

Pay your planning fee up front.

A flat $105 per trip, invoiced by Fora Travel and paid before planning starts. It's non-refundable. Traveling as a group? It's one $105 for the whole trip, not per household, and it can be split across households.

Choose from two or three real options.

Not forty. Each one shows what's included, the total cost and the payment schedule, with my pick and the reason for it.

I take it from there.

I book it, send every request to the cruise line, resort or hotel, and track every deposit and final payment date, with a reminder before each one. Before final payment, I check your price again and claim a better one when the supplier allows it.

Every day laid out, where you're staying and what's planned. This sample is built on a real trip I booked, with the traveler's details removed. View a sample itinerary (opens in a new tab)

Payments

You pay the cruise line, resort or hotel directly. They're the merchant of record, so the charge comes straight from them. Your card goes through a single-use secure form into Fora's encrypted card vault, never by email, and before anything is charged, I confirm the final price with you. Your planning fee is invoiced by Fora Travel. No cash, no payment apps.

Flights

I research the best flight options and send them to you. You book directly with the airline, so the ticket is in your name and the airline works with you directly.

While you travel

Before you leave, you get a one-page contact sheet for your trip: who to call on the spot at the ship, resort or hotel, and how to reach me for everything else.

After you're home

I check in when you're back to hear how it went, and we start on the next one.
