Beware Premier World Discovery in Redondo Beach, CA – they lie by omission
Submitted by robin on Sat, 2012-01-14 18:29.You need to trust a travel agency. Anyone can make a booking, but a travel agency brings experience and knowledge to ensure your trip is a good one. If you can’t trust their expertise, there’s no point to using them. Even worse, if you can’t trust their business practices, you should stay away! Premier World Discovery lied to me by omission; they did not disclose cancellation fees when I made a booking; that lie cost me and my wife almost $500.

listening
Few people . . . have had much training in listening. The training of most oververbalized professional intellectuals is in the opposite direction. Living in a competitive culture, most of us are most of the time chiefly concerned with getting our own views across, and we tend to find other people's speeches a tedious interruption of the flow of our own ideas.
