I usually book with our local Liberty Travel agent (we don't have a lot of
choices in my area) and they do very well. I always take insurance on a
package and if there are any rate reductions, I get them automatically; so
it doesn't matter how far in advance I book. Example...last year we booked
a trip to Secrets in Punta Cana in late January. Three weeks before our
trip in June, we got a refund of approximately $300.
