Covington Travelers are Talking
My travel agent Liz Prom did a magnificent job working with Viking River Cruise. Viking did an excellent job with the cruise, flights and luggage handling for our trip down the Danube. But for our 47th wedding anniversary I wanted an extension in Munich with a side trip to Neuschwanstein. She coordinated with Viking and made the transition seamless. The hotel she booked in Munich was marvelous, one of the best I have stayed in in Europe. I have worked with Liz for over a decade and she has resolved so many travel problems. Thanks, Liz.
