"We can design any type of vacation, and, regardless of how much time it takes, we'll put together the vacation that's right for you," says Project Director Aimee King, who has been with The Vacation Station in Charleston, SC for the past three years. Majetsic cruise ship "In addition to our high level of customer service, the low prices and 30-percent rebate can save you thousands of dollars over the course of your lifetime." Randy Gardner, CEO of The Vacation Station Charleston, SC agrees.

Cost, though certainly an important factor, is not the only reason to choose Charleston's The Vacation Station. The company works only with three-, four- and five-star properties and offers a wide range of vacation options, from cruises to condos to luxury resorts to tours.

The Vacation Station does business with most of the world's top cruise lines, offering vacation possibilities that will take you to places spanning virtually the entire globe: Alaska, New England, Italy, Africa, India, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the North Sea, Hawaii, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, South America and even Antarctica, and every place in between.

If you're pressed for time, cruises can be short, such as the one-day journey along the Pacific Coast of the United States and Canada. If you have nothing else to do for a month or so, however, and you want to see places you might have never seen before and might never see again, you can book passage on the 34-day Grand Asia Voyage, which will take you from Seattle to Petropavlovsk, Sendai, Yokohama, Shimizu, Kobe, Xingang, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore and other places on the other side of the world. The cost of these trips depends greatly on the client's budget.

"We can get you on any cruise line, in any type of cabin and in any price range," King says. "With most travel agents, you'll have to pay for their markups and commissions. And if you try to do it yourself on the Internet, you might be rerouted to India or someplace like that. We provide top-of-the-line customer service, and it doesn't cost you a penny."

Members: Shocked and Amazed

He's referring to The Vacation Station, Charleston, South Carolina. Hayes and his wife have been members for about two years and have taken "numerous overnight or two-night trips" to nearby destinations.

"We like to go to concerts, so we take a lot of Hayes couple - Shocked and Amazed overnight trips to places like Greensboro or Richmond," he said.

Occasionally the two of them take longer trips. A special treat was a trip to Bermuda in May 2009 to celebrate an anniversary.

"I took my wife to Bermuda when we got married," Hayes said. "And I told her I'd take her back in 15 years. So we did take advantage of [The Vacation Station's] service and went to a bed and breakfast in Bermuda."

The Hayes' already have planned a trip to their next destination, Charleston, South Carolina.

"We've been to Charleston a few times and we love it. We've got some friends who want to see Charleston, so we'll bring them and show them the sights," Hayes said. "My wife loves bed and breakfasts, so we always look for different ones to try."

Hayes says that his wife, Miriam, makes the arrangements with The Vacation Station of Charleston and that they have received excellent service from the staff. It's a simple matter of sending in receipts and just a short time before they receive their rebate checks. They love traveling with friends, who are also amazed by the benefits of traveling The Vacation Station way.

"I'd like to try one of the 'hot weeks'... I'm not sure what they are since my wife takes care of everything but I think they're an even better deal," Hayes laughed.

Hayes said that he would definitely recommend The Vacation Station to people who enjoy traveling regularly.

"I was skeptical," he confides. "My wife talked me into it. She reminds me that it was her idea. And I would recommend it to friends."

Great Value: The Vacation Station Does It For You

The Vacation Station, Charleston, SC serves its customers up tasty value. Their trusty travel agents have your vacation in mind.

For the most part, if you want to take a memorable vacation and get the most for your hard-earned cash, you have two options: You can sacrifice price in the name of convenience by seeking the services of a traditional travel agent, Carnival Triumph cruise ship or you can spend countless hours staring at your computer screen all hours of the day and night, anxiously waiting for airlines and cruise companies to temporarily drop their prices.

If you choose to hire a travel agent, you run the risk of paying more than you really should for an exhilarating cruise in Hawaii or a relaxing week at a beautiful beach on the Carolina coast. However, if you decide to fly solo, you might not even notice as you sail right past some of the best deals available in the sometimes-confusing world of travel. Even experienced surfers must eventually face the responsibilities of their day job and occasionally seek the solace of sleep.

There is an alternative, however, that not only eliminates wasteful spending but also does away with the need to visit Web site after Web site, desperately searching for that perfect deal - the one that fits your schedule, fulfills your dreams and falls within the guidelines of your budget. The Vacation Station, a mainstay in downtown Charleston since 1992, bridges the gap between financial considerations and customer service by customizing any type of vacation, anywhere in the world at the lowest price possible - then sweetening the pot by rebating 30 percent of the cost of the vacation back to you.
