Due to Facebook not communicating with its customers and recognizing fraud when it happens, I have had to create a NEW account for Destinations Travel, formerly BigDogInc. Please do me a GIANT favor and follow us over at:

March 2020 - We had just returned from hosting a wonderful group cruise amid talk of a pandemic...thought nothing of it.

Two weeks later, we had lost $500,000 in revenue generating business. As a small travel agency that had just started in 2018, we could not recover from that, especially with shutdowns lasting WAYYYYY longer than they should have.

It was devastating!

So we closed up shop...we had no choice!

Fast forward to the beginning of February 2024....I looked at Jen and said I am going to start the company back up. She was not surprised and actually wondered what took so long!!!

So we are slowly getting our infrastructure set back up...lots to do...lots of relationships and connections to restore. I look forward to it...for the first time in a long time...I look forward to something!

I say all that to say this...if you do not already have a travel agent, please consider using us. You do not pay a penny more, but by using a travel agent, you have an advocate, someone that you reach by phone or in person to be your liaison with the companies that serve the travel industry. If you book directly, you have to rely on that organization's customer service to assist you. Whose interests do you think they are going to serve?

So...how do we make money if we don't charge fees? The companies we work with pay a commission on the back end. If you book directly with them, they pocket that money. That money goes into the pockets of a corporation instead of to support someone in your local community. By booking with a travel agent, you are helping to support someone's family.

Your travel agent can do all the following:

Hotel and resort reservations
All-inclusive resorts
All-inclusive travel packages
Cruises (my personal favorite)
Flights
Rental cars
Travel insurance
Group trip planning and administration
End-to-end personal vacation planning
Attraction and show tickets..and much more!

If you do any of these, even a single hotel night somewhere, consider giving me a call or sending me an email. I would appreciate your business and be glad to help in any way that I can!

In case anyone is wondering…

What I post on my page is my business, and not subject to anyone’s critique. Lady and I have the type of relationship where we can laugh, be silly, and have a great time together…we are not prudes!

If you don’t like these types of posts, please unfriend, unfollow, or whatever!

I am at the point in my life where I am going to start telling a lot more people that they can just kiss my ass!!!
