Where are you headed?
What future trips did you book?

Travel Agents - What did you book for others?

Last month was a pretty slow month booking wise for me, but I will take it as it has been a nice break.

Booked rooms at Hard Rock Riviera Maya for 2 different groups I have there (graduation group and wedding group).
NCL Alaskan Cruise
Breathless Los Cabos
Branson trip
Valentin
Wyndham Alltra Cancun
Holland America Alaskan Cruise Tour (for a Texager)
Alaska Railroad Trip
Sandals Barbados

Went to San Antonio for a dove hunt last weekend. Stayed at the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch. Had a wonderful weekend. The 2 bedroom at the hyatt was really nice and not terribly expensive. Huge room and a good layout. The pool and lazy river kept my kids happy. Lots of old fat white people, also some younger married couples getting drunkkk on the lazy river. Food was typical resort fare, expensive and mediocre.

Gainesville Florida in a couple of weeks for Parents Weekend (which happens to coincide with Aggie football game there - yay!). Gonna be hot as hell I'm sure.
Miami Beach at the end of the month for a birthday party.
Hiking in Utah/AZ just after that.
Want to start working on Wimbledon '25. Any recs? I have one name of a company that specializes in this sort of travel.

Got back Tuesday from 3 weeks in the Phillipines on a long diving trip.

Looking at Vietnam, Chile or Peru pricing for the spring.

Headed to The Broadmoor next week for company outing

Quick Disneyworld Trip - Halloween Party and then 4 parks in 1 day challenge (yes that's crazy, but I've been to Disney a couple times in the last few years so I don't need to do everything)

That's crazy talk.

Thread hijack here….

Going to London and Edinburgh next May, should I wait a couple more months to book flights?

Just booked Dubai and India for work mid October. Knocking out two travel bucket list items. Business class on Emirates and flying on at A380. Will be in Delhi and Kolkata in India.

Honestly you just don't know. The only reason prices usually drop are if the flights aren't filling up or a competitor has lower rates. I tend to buy early. It's rare I actually see them drop.

We're going to Iceland at the end of the month. Only 4 nights but we're excited to explore a little bit.

Thanks

I typically don't book airfare to Europe until Jan or Feb for a May-June trip. I wouldn't say I've saved a whole lot doing that, but I have caught a dip.

With that said, my last trip to Europe was 2023, and airfare prices have been all over the place this last year. So I'm not sure previous experience holds.

I would set up a Google flights alert now and start watching fares. If there is a dip, you should be able to catch it.

I tend to buy early too, but the 6 month mark has been my sweet spot recently. Doesn't mean it will be that way when the time comes around next year, though.

American Airlines just came out with some really low fares for Europe but I think it mainly for travel this fall.

My clients have booked some amazing vacations lately!

Grand Isle Resort in Exuma
El Dorado Maroma for an Overwater Bungalow
Windjammer Landing in St. Lucia
Secrets Playa Blanca for 50th Birthday Celebration
Sandals Grande Antigua
Secrets Royal Beach in Dominican Republic
Cocobay Antigua Honeymoon
Excellence Oyster Bay in Jamaica - this is such a hidden gem!
Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya
Sandals St. Vincent - cannot wait to hear about this trip!

Not much travel for me this fall -- hoping to get up to Jackson Hole, WY possibly.

I was invited on a trip to Belize -- should I go? It's not a beachy trip, it will be inland at a wilderness resort...what say ye Texags?!

I just got home from a week in Croatia. We flew into Split, then took ferries to Hvar and Dubrovnik. I have decided that we're going back to Hvar to spend a week. We spent most of our time there at the beach, but I really want to hike and visit some of the wineries there.

I booked plane tickets to Manhattan in December.

Love this! The Halloween Party is one of my favs. Make sure to trick or treat at the end of the night as the amount of candy they give is insane. One of the best events and the later parade is far less crowded. Coming from someone that sees how many Lightening Lanes I can score in a day! The 4 park challenge sounds fun

Currently enjoying a cup of coffee in Amsterdam. Arrived on Wednesday. We will take the train to Berlin on Monday and then return to Amsterdam on Saturday for a few more days here before heading home on the 17th.

FWIW - booked the air almost a full year ago - $2,500 pp business class on KLM/DL RT ATL to AMS.

Europe over Christmas, West Texas Roadtrip over Spring Break, and the Caymans next summer. Plus a few weekend roadies mixed in.

Wish I could do a week in the Smokies in October.

I never contribute to these threads, but I've got a lot of balls in the air for this month.

Headed to Glacier NP next week. Will pull out the winter clothes this weekend.

---

We are in GNP. now. It's been clear and warm (80's at lower elevations, 70 or so up top). Haven't looked at the forecast, but this week at least it's been closer to "shorts and t-shirt" weather.

You are going to have to post some pics when you get back! Glacier is the next big NP trip on our bucket list!

Have fun!

Third week is little rock and KC.

We have a low pushing into the west coast today. It's nudging all our smoke to ID/MT: Smoke Forecast. Hopefully it's not too gross for you.

Just got back from spending my Labor Day week in Northern Virginia - the Leesburg area. Went to visit my brother and his family including my 1 y.o. niece and 3 y.o. nephew. Good times and perfect weather.

just got back from a week in tampa and sarasota...

heading out to new england in 2 weeks for business and pleasure....perhaps catch some fall colors

We left this morning, and it was very smoky. Visibility was significantly reduced from prior days.

Off on a work trip to Kuala Lumpur next week followed by a week in Singapore (including the F1 race!) before coming back home to Sydney.

Sept has been a busy month for me as a travel advisor

Things I've booked so far for clients
Multi Generational Alaska Cruise Sept 2025
Last Min Adults only France Vacation (Paris, Nice, Bordeaux, Monaco)
Summer Disney Cruise to both private islands
Honeymoon to Impression Secrets Isla Mujeres

I just got back from a hosted trip to Kauai with the visitors bureau and touring 9 resorts and experienced lots of excursions on the island.

Only month I'm home for the rest of the year. Taking a girls trip late Sept to Charleston which I'm very excited about the food and history!

Be sure to check out the bar lounge upstairs on the A380.

If I would have known you were going to SG for the F1, I might have joined.

Through a lucky coincidence, I happened to have work trips to Singapore that coincided with the F1 races in 2018 and again in 2019.

I'm still on the mailing list so I'm always getting prompts to attend.

Hopefully you got either the Zone 4 with the main stage, or the all Zone walkabout pass. Bring your walking shoes.

Just wrapped up a 10 day road trip from Montana to Texas via Nashville.
And I'm headed to Vegas this weekend for actual fun.

Flew into Bozeman to pickup my daughters car and then drive it back to Virginia with the intention to pick up my car and drive it back to Texas.

Things didn't go to plan and we had a catastrophic tire failure "On a long and lonesome highway East of Omaha". Drove about 30 miles on the donut tire back to Council Bluffs, Iowa where it took 4 days to get the car fixed.

After getting the car fixed, stopped in Davenport, Iowa, Peoria, Illinois, Terre Haute, Indiana and finally to Nashville. Never made it to Virginia but swapped cars in Nashville with my daughter who drove my Jeep in from Virginia.

Had to make the Nashville to Galveston drive in one day - about 830 miles. Took the Bolivar Ferry at about 2:30am on Sunday night/Monday morning.

One thing Aggie related that was funny was - when I drove past the baseball stadium in Omaha, they still have a Texas A&M flag up so that was cool.
