Making travel arrangement for others, ain't it awkward?

Yes, that's weird. will you be traveling with her? If so, it is okay, since you are older than her just making your responsible for your younger sister.. teaching you responsibilities. but if not, it will be difficult for your sister if she encounter problems to all the plans that you made since you are not going to be there too.

I am taking that you are experienced in arranging travel arrangements as the main reason for your being tasked to do it for your younger sister. So, while your sister is seemingly waiting for everything to be served on the silver platter, I have to agree with you that she will need to find out or at least plan for what she will be doing there. I think you will need to ask her than assume things here. Besides, she is traveling with a group which consists of her friends and I am anticipating that someone in that group might have already drawn up an itinerary for the trip. Also, you might never know if they might have already have had someone at the destination waiting to pick them up and bring them around. All these aside, I believe it will be good of you to advise her on what to look out for at the place of her visit, numbers to call in case of any emergencies and addresses also. It is also good to sign her up for a travel insurance so that emergencies could be handled with more efficiency and less financial burden. As for local knowledge of the destination, I am sure you can get it online or by paying a visit to the local travel bureau or travel agencies that conduct tour packages there. Hope you will find this helpful.

It is amazing you are making travel arrangements for your your sister. It is great if you now have the tickets and accommodation booked. You won't know where the shops are as you haven't ever been before. If my sister arranged a trip for me I wonder what she would pick. Probably a quiet place to stay and a train ticket as she knows I love trains. She would book a ground floor room I am sure for my disabled son's benefit.

Hey there. You can try to contact Expedia or Travelocity as they could help you find the best vacation or travel package that's suitable for your sister's needs. They may be able to help you with the hotels, activities based on location, and even car reservation. These travel agencies may also help you save more as they could offer you the the more affordable package or even the most expensive ones. You may probably know all these things, but I hope this helps.
