David, hello, thank you for this.... I have just spoken to Alex and was told changes would be $60 for my two tickets and she will book Halina's ticket, "hopefully" with the same fare.... so this would great! I mentioned I am having to also final my accommodations with Nadia, so she said that she will be calling me back within an hour to confirm everything.... THANK YOU.... I very much appreciate your extra efforts regarding my requests. I will speak to you soon!!!
--Nicolette

Hi David,
Yes, we did get the check and it has been cashed, so no need to worry about it anymore. We appreciated the way you took care of it so professionally.
We'll definitely recommend you to our friends who are travelling to Europe and Greece. We had a wonderful time over there and just got the pictures back yesterday. Lots of great memories!
Hope all is going well for you and thanks again for your timely assistance.
Kind regards,

I'll fax my cc info shortly.
Thanks again!

David-
How are you???  Looking to see if you have any good rates on tickets leaving the 2nd of Aug and returning around the 18thof Aug.  You got me a great last minute deal over the Christmas holidays and as always I thank you!!!!!
--Christian

Dear David,
Thank you so much! This is such a big help. We will fax our info tomorrow. Are you in New York? We are still researching places to stay in Naxos. I think we want to stay in town so we can walk around at night. I've emailed lots of places. Any recommendations? It doesn't have to be deluxe but nice.
Thanks again.
--Suzi

David... just wanted to thank you very much for taking care of my flight tickets from Tel Aviv to Athens. I received the tickets via Fed Ex within a day or two after faxing payment!!! I very much appreciate the professional and fast service from you and your company.
--Nicolette

Dear David,
I am writing to let you know that I am a fan of yours! The arrangements you made for us were excellent, your service and advice invaluable, and the trip to Greece phenomenal! I am recommending you to all here in DC! Thanks again!
--Dave

David,
Thank you so much for booking our flights to Greece. I received the FedEx package yesterday, after I left you the voice mail. I'm glad you understood our concerns as first time internet shoppers and Greece travelers. Your info on the accommodations during that time of month was priceless. You will be highly recommended to our friends and family. I'm sure after our trip they will all want to go. Many thanks again from Danna and myself.

Dear David,
I just got my tickets in the mail. Thank you for your patients and all of your help!
--Sophie

Hi David,
Just wanted you to know the three tickets arrived today. I want to thank you for all of your help. We have emailed so many times I feel I know you and wanted to thank you for your efficiency.
We are going over to Greece to spend a week with our son (Christopher) and daughter-in-law. Starting this fall he accepted a Assistant Professor position at Allaghney College in Meadville PA teaching literature. For the spring semester he plans to start a course at the College in Greek Literature and at the end of the semester he plans to take the students to Greece for 3 weeks. The school was very supportive of his starting this type of course. He taught at Anatolia College in Thessaloniki for two years before he came back to the USA to finish his PHD. He is now over there for a month and invited us to spend a week. I will certainly tell him of the service I received from you and maybe he can work with you next year on a group rate for the class.
Again, Thanks much for your service,
--Oscar

Hi David, thanks for the quick responce. I can leave here at any time as I have my own business. Natalya is working for a business. I think we would be pushing to have her leave earlier as she's already leaving a day early. Yes it would be great if we can do the Athens-Rhodes flight's together if possible. Actually, it's more than I could expect! David, I sincerily thank you for your efforts! If we can fly from Athens to Rhodes together and vise-versa is just wonderfull!! I would be so happy! I would like to spend as much time with Natalya as possible. If we need a room in Athens, then so be it! David, personally I think your doing too much, but I am very greatfull! We just want to be together as long as possible, plain and simple. Cost is not a major concern for me. Natalya is. I ask you do your best so we can spend the most time together and send me the bill! Thank you so much,
--Marty

Thank you so much David! You have secured a very happy relationship from two people from two different cultures. You should feel proud to do this service! Many thanks!! You lived up to your reputation! Please!!!...send me the schedual of the flight's for me and Natalya. (itenerary?) You know what I mean. :) Again, many thanks. I have not recieved
notification from Aegean Thesaurus of reservations. May I ask your friend at Olympic to reserve and recommend a hotel? Send her phone # if you can. I will call asap! (or e-mail)
Again, Thank you David!!
--Marty

Hello, David. Thanks for this message. Jerry will paperprint it and feel assured. I also have noted the record locator number. All success to you, as you help people on their way to their heart's desire.
--Alfred

David,
I just wanted to let you know that I received my tickets at the correct fare. Alexandra was very helpful, and even called to make sure I received the Fed Ex package. Thank you so much for your help and extra effort to make my travel plans work out. Thanks again of rall of your help,
--Brian

Hi David!
Thanks for you inquisition. Things went VERY well! Much better than expected, on both parts. The trip went well without any flaw's that were a problem. We had a wonderfull time! We stay'd at the Rodes Park Hotel. They are a wonderfull groupe of people by far! At our "beck and call" 24 hr's without hesitatation. Natalya and I had the most wonderfull week together. We took the ferry to Lindos and visited the Acropolis, let alone the "old town" of Rodes. We covered every square inch of "old town"! An experiance we both will never forget! We spent some time in Faliraki too! Loads of fun there! We have been back since the 1st of August and we still talk about it! I often thing about walking own a street hearing the local"language" and feeling disorenitated(?), but, I asked one or more men, "English?". They came back as "Sir!, what can I help you with?" What a surprise! Perfect english! OK, enough of that. The Island was a great experiance for us both! It brought us together more than I expected. I have to thank you sooo much for what you did for us! She is in another world that can't comprehend what has happened to her since the trip! Here's a pix of the Acropolis in Lindos, and more. David..... Thanks soo much for what you have done for us both! I am glad
you have written me back.
--Martin

David, you're great. This is exactly the type of information I need.
This pending proposal is in early negotiation stages -- it's rather difficult to negotiate from Nashville Tennessee with someone in Viotia. Or Inofita. As you can see, I'm geographically challenged - I assume Inofita is the city and Viotia a county, but - I haven't a clue.
I'm going to keep your address on file for future reference; should I successfully negotiate the contract, I'm going to put my company coordinator in touch with you. Although my company has some international experience, it's primarily in North America with the occasional trip to Mexico and Singapore.
And George really MUST be great, I'll DEFINITELY keep that information on file, as well.
You've been a gigantic help, thanks again.
--Peggy

Hi David....thanks so much for your call last night, I really appreciated such a quick response. And even better news....the tickets arrived today from Olympic!! That was really fast! Now all we have to do is wait for July 1st, and that will be the hard part. Thanks again for everything, the service you provided was excellent!
Take care.........
--Josette

David,
I will fax you the proper credit card information on Monday so you can reserve our tickets. It has been a pleasure working with you and I would like to commend you on your promptness and attention to customer service. I will definitely recommend your website to anyone who is traveling to Greece. Sincerely,
--David and Erica

David,
I wanted to let you know that my tickets arrived today. I recommended you to my friend Jessica, and she says that she is working a few things out, but that she should be purchasing her tickets soon. I also gave your name to the rest of my class (University of New Orleans Honors Program Greek Intersession Course) in case anyone else wants to join us
on the Advance Party for this summer. Efharisto!
--Charlotte

David,
You are moving up my list of the most wonderful people in the world. Words will never express my appreciation for all your help. If you ever come to Maryland and need anything, please feel free to contact me. By the way we
go Greece every other year - so this will not be the last you have to deal with me. Thanks,
--Kelly


David,
YOU ARE CURRENTLY MY FAVORITE PERSON! Thank you for clearing everything up for me. I will mail out the check tonight! Thank you for everything! I will refer everyone I know to you!!!! Sincerely,
--Lavonne


David,
I wondered about the June 12th departure date but didn't mention it. Yes, departing on June 10th is fine; in fact, we prefer it that way. I will have Harry fax a letter approving that date today or tomorrow at the latest.
Did I mention we think you are awesome?!?!
--Linda

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, but unfortunately I have been swamped at work!! We received our tickets and I wanted to thank you for your assistance. You made the reservation process very painless. I do have
another question for you though. We would like to stay at the grecotel Mykonos blu Hotel june 2,3 4 leaving on the 5th. Do you book such reservations and if so could we do it through you? If not we will try other
avenues. Thanks again for the flight help,
--Norman

David, I got my ticket this morning. Thank you so much for your wonderful help. Regards,
--Sooja

David:
Thank you so much for helping me get to Greece! I had a wonderful time and certainly hope to go back again
real soon! I am hoping that I convince my husband to go next time and that we can explore some to the Greek
Islands together.
This time was good time spent with my brother who lives in Athens. He took me the long route home from
the brand new airport by the Temple of Poseidin! What a spectacular introduction to the wonders of Greek
antiquity! We had a wonderful Easter celebration with friends and then took off Monday morning for a road
trip to Meteora - WOW!! What an incredible place!!
Then it was over the snowy mountains to Ioanna and Arta and late Tueday arriving in Delphi. We beat the
tour buses to the ruins Wednesday morning and had a great time! Then it was back to Athens where I explored the Acropolis and The Plaka by myself and even the Archeological Museum on Friday morning before I left! I spent over 4 hours wandering the ruins of the Acropolis - sketching several of the interesting columns! It was terrific! Thanks again for helping to make it possible with the affordable airline ticket! Sincerely,
--SUZY

David,
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help! I have passed your website along to others who are considering traveling to Greece... you have been wonderful!
--Emily

David was extremely responsive, meeting our various itinerary needs.
--Angelos

I just returned from my wonderful vacation to Greece and wanted to let you know that I had an incredible time! Thanks for all your help~ I will definitely pass your email site along to friends looking to explore Greece. Sincerely,

That is good news indeed, you know I must sincerely thank you for all your help during the planning of my trip to Greece and after my return form Greece, as it stands now I am definitely returning next year and without a doubt will be using Globe Merchants !!
--R.T.

Dear David:
I just returned from my honeymoon in Greece, and I wanted to thank you for your help in getting the airline tickets for Olympic. All flights were smooth and relatively delay-free (and reasonable). If I ever plan another trip to Greece (and how can a Greek not do so?) I will call on you again. Thank you!
--Peter

We WILL go to Greece sometime and we WILL be in contact with you. :-) Thank you so much David. You've been wonderful!
--Stephanie

--Bev

Yes, David, You have been a God send. I will confirm with you the second I have the positive dates. I have a time frame that I am working on and the exact time table will depend on my work place. The G-E facility I work at has a shut-down coming up in May, but I don't know the exact days yet .When they tell us--I will be yelling at you to get me those seats. We should know in the next week when the exact days will be.....Thank you again...You will be hearing from me soon...
--Sharon

Again,thanks for all your patience, you're better than a therapist!……

--Lori

Hi David,
I just got my tickets. Thank You very much, it was a pleasure working with you.
--Olga

You have been most thorough and helpful. Karen and I appreciate it! May your knowledge, established relationships in the travel industry, experience, helpful attitude, and attention to detail be richly repaid to you and your family, not only in gainful employment but in rich blessings spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The BLESSING of the Lord be upon you and yours!
--Barbara

Man, when your brother says you give good service, he is grossly understating your abilities. Taxes sure do eat up a lot of one's money, don't they. Thanks again, David, for the thoroughly professional way you have handled our tickets. I realize with my (jittery) parameters, it was a bit of trouble for you - so believe me my gratitude is sincere.
--John

Fax is on it's way. Thank you for having been so wonderful through all of this. I will write to Matt's newsletter about your help and patience. THANK YOU AGAIN
--Naomi

Hi David,
My husband Shannon will be sending you information regarding payment. He will be faxing it soon. We will get the tickets!!! Thank you for all your help. You have been great.

I want you to know that both of us have really appreciated your patience and perserverance in helping us with our arrangements!! You have provided excellent service! Please let us know if you have any questions or need any additional information.
Many thanks,
--Kerry

Thank you David, I will be seeing all of the travelers on Sunday (superbowl) and will show them all your emails. Please bare with us, they will have many more questions before they will nail this down, but I do believe that you should be utilized for this, as well as Fantasy Travel Tours. Thank you so much for your attention. I will get back with you next week.
--Lois

David,
I will send out that information either tomorrow or Friday. Thanks again for your help. You made the process of trying to find reasonably priced tickets very easy.
--Jason

David: The Greece tickets came in today, so we are good to go. Thanks so much for all your help and
we'll be scouring your website for more tips. ...
--Geoff

Please note that it will be your responsibility to make your own air travel arrangements to arrive at Heraklion airport on Crete via Athens on the afternoon of May 12th, and to depart from Athens midday on June 12th. I have found David Econopouly of Greeceflights.com to be particularly helpful in making such arrangements. He can be reached by email at info@GlobeMerchant.com or by going to www.Greeceflights.com. Keep in mind that from this point on the ticket prices will very likely rise as the date of departure approaches, so it will be wise to get your tickets as soon as
possible after you decide to participate.
--Duke University Travel to Greece Program

David,
I hope you received the fax. attached is a copy of it as well. Please let me know of any issues right away.

--Haroula

David.. I got my airline tickets today.. just wanted to say a big thank you. Today was my birthday and it was so special to get them today. Thank you so much for your help.

David,
Just a belated thank you for helping my wife and I have one of the most fun trips ever.
Every aspect of the operation you were a part of went smoothly. Lesvos was a wonderful place to visit, we rented a car and drove all around the Island, especially enjoying Plamari.
Nikki and George of the AEOLIS HOTEL were terrific hosts, and their hotel was spotless, comfortable, and conviently located to Molyvos.
The view from our back balcony was of Turkey, and we could see the castle of Molyvos out our front.
Again we thank you..
--Howard and Christine

David,
you did a great job booking my flights to greece this past summer and so i have highly recommended your services to my parents. they will be taking a trip to greece in may 2004 to celebrate their 25th anniversary. At your convenience, would you please price out fares for them?
--Eric

I found this site through another bride that got married in Santoriniin September and she highly recommended it to get a good flight.
