I am not sure I can coordinate it all but I am not sure if a travel agent would be interested since I want most of it to be "free" or at least cheap, maybe using FF miles for upgrades. I guess I don't know where to start. Dates are flexible.
For flights a TA will be happy to help even if they are free. TAs no longer get a percentage of the ticket so they charge a fee. If your ticket is free the TA will still charge you. Don't know about hotels.
