Ann Lombardi of The Trip Chicks, Eisenberg’s Bagels and me

I was in Atlanta recently to attend a wedding, and for me, it was a wonderful opportunity to finally meet Ann Lombardi!

A few months back, when we were planning our New Year’s Eve Intention Setting Bali Spa Retreat, I did some research with travel agents regarding what kind of airfare we could expect. I contacted 3 travel companies, all who discouraged me from traveling there then as it is High Season (despite it also being the rainy season). I was told that I wouldn’t find any fares for under $1,700, and we’d have to book months ahead. One of them is even an expert in Bali travel!

Undeterred, I searched on Twitter and found The Trip Chicks. Ann Lombardi and Wendy Swartell are an awesome duo! I contacted Ann and told her the dates we were looking to travel. She approached my travel request with complete aplomb and I knew we were in good hands.

The flight that Ann secured for us is nothing but miraculous! It is SEVERAL hundreds of dollars less than what we were told by others, plus we didn’t book them until November!

Pure magic.

I flew to Atlanta, rented a car, and proceeded to drive to a previously chosen location to meet Ann: Eisenberg’s Bagels.

What a pleasure Ann is!! Everyone should have all of their travel requests handled by The Trip Chicks: http://www.thetripchicks.com
