1. My sweetheart retired 6 years ago after 20 being a TA...

Doesn't miss it a bit!

Try the AAA though... They do have quite a network.

i haven't had AAA do anything for me i couldn't do better and cheaper myself but if you booking a cruise it's a whole nother story

travel agents no longer get the commissions from airlines etc so most have had to retire unless they are providing a very specialized service

they can't really spend time hunting up airfare for you, when all you are going to pay them is $10 or $20, so you will not get a very good deal if it's airfare you're searching for, instead, try sites such as sidestep.com to do the cheap fare hunting
