Exceptional Customer Service

LeAnn Harris

Vicki,
I have been at Bryce for the past 4 1/2 years, and found that LeAnn has been outstanding in assisting me in all areas of travel. My colleagues at Bryce concur with me on this. She is very efficient, straightforward, proactive especially in providing the most cost effective alternatives, and most of all she responds to the customer quickly alleviating anxious moments of waiting especially under stressful heavy travel schedules.
She is truly one of the "great women of Bryce":
straightforward and down to earth,
lovely, charming,
loves to cook and
speaks southern which is music to my ears.
Since I am no longer with Bryce, I will miss the opportunity of working with LeAnn (unless I get permission from Bryce for LeAnn to help me with my travels).
It has been a delight working with LeAnn.

Sincerely,
Dr. Dan De La Cruz

Going to China?

If you have any travel plans for China between June and August this year, or if you know of anyone who does, Northwest has a wonderful fare. In business class, the fare is less than $3000 roundtrip. It is capacity controlled, so availability will be a challenge; there is a minimum 8 - day stay and a 60 day advance purchase requirement, but it is a great fare.

Guidelines for Using a Cellphone Abroad
Source: New York Times
As a T-Mobile subscriber, Ken Grunski, a businessman in San Diego, knew that his cellphone would work during a trip to Tanzania. What he did not expect was the bill: $800 for 10 days’ use.

“I didn’t think I was going to use my phone that much,” Mr. Grunski said. “But two to three 10-minute calls a day, and it adds up.”

What a shame that Mr. Grunski did not heed his own company’s advice. If he had, he would have saved himself a bundle. Click Here to continue.
