Hi John,
We have been booking our holidays ourself for the last few years. We book flights directly through websites. Our accomodation we usually use Agoda and have never had any problems with them and have used them quite a few times now, we have also used Rates To Go. Then just get you insurance online as well. We always used to use travel agents as we foolishly believed that if you go through them and airlines etc go bankrupt you are covered but we found out the hard way (when Air Paradise went bust and we lost all our money, Flight Centre did not want to know so we never used them again) So I would definitely book yourself and save yourself some money!
