Sometimes it is just better and easier to employee someone to do it for you like you mentioned. I've often thought about doing that with travel. I know that travel agents aren't as necessary as they used to be before the Internet, but someone who specializes in a field is usually always going to have a leg up on you no matter how good your Google-Fu is. If I ever become an ex-pat (doubtful!), I'll keep all of this in mind!

while this article was primarily about visas I think it also applies to travel agents as well. I use an agent for all my travel now as well but this was primarily inspired by my desire to use cash for as many purchases as possible since credit cards that I have issued by the US are very difficult for me to pay off overseas.
Ah, okay. That makes a lot of sense. I have never used one, but I can see the benefits.
