I am currently trying to plan a weekend getaway for my girlfriend and I. I am planning this getaway for sometime in January of 09. I know almost exaclty what I want for this weekend but am having trouble serfing and filtering the web to find exactly what I am looking for. Expedia, Hotels.com etc... are not helping either. Would a travel agent be a exceptional way to improve my efforts to get the weekend that I desire? If so who would be a good travel agent to assist me in a weekend getaway in January 09 in the Adirondacks? Thanks to all those that respond!
