Already using Professional Planning and decide you would like me to handle something outside the
original scope? Additional coordination can be added when you want more hands-on assistance without
moving into a full Signature Planning experience.
Examples may include additional reservations, special arrangements, custom itinerary work, or
coordination with outside providers.
If you already know the exact cruise, resort, or other commissionable travel product you would like to book and little or no custom research is required, email me at melissa@melicharm.com and ask about Booking-Only service.
