Things I think I could win a gold medal for if they were an Olympic sport:

🥇 # of Amazon, Walmart+, Target, FedEx, USPS and UPS deliveries in a single day

🥇having a different bag for every type of trip

🥇 cheering for the Gamecocks

🥇overthinking things so much that nothing gets accomplished

🥇 using strong adjectives

🥇 having come to Jesus moments with suppliers when needed

🥇 packing carry on only for two weeks, fitting all the souvenirs in the carry on for the return home and NOT breaking the zipper

🥇 # of Tervis cups owned

🥇 planning the best itineraries for my clients

🥇 having the BEST clients

Not to brag but I could carry the team in SEVERAL events! 👏🏼🥇🇺🇸🤦🏼‍♀️🙄🤣

Let’s gooooooooooooooo! 😂🫣🏆

What could you win the 🥇in? Or do you think you would podium with me in any of the above! We can make it a team sport!! 🤣

Henlow…you’ve reached Adventure BUCK Travel, this is Bucky, how can I assist?

I took over my Meme’s (my grandpawrent) insta account to remind everyone to check the expiration date of your Passbork.

She says most countries require you to have at least 6 months validity beyond the return date of your trip.

She also said to remind you to check and see that no puppers like me might have chewed an edge or two because it needs to be in good condition and have a least 2 blank pages available for stamps.

My Meme loves planning your trips and I help her sometimes.

Hope you have a great day today. 🐶 🐾

While you were sleeping…we’ve been having the time of our lives at Disneyland Paris today.

Stay tuned for more MAGICal adventures.

We’ve hit a wall. 🤣😴🥱 The jet lag has smacked us upside the head.

But we did manage to explore near our hotel and we saw the Louvre and got a peek at the Iron Lady. I’ve been to the Louvre twice before but I didn’t remember how ENORMOUS and beautiful the building is.

Finished off the afternoon with what else but a croquet monsieur and ordered my entire meal en Francais!!

Up next…Disneyland Paris!

A bientot!

CDG was a breeze to get the through today.

Getting to the city center…not so much.

Estimated drop off time at our hotel is 1.25 hours. Oy! Le trafiq est horibble!

Some things to note getting to Paris city center from the airport…

1️⃣ 🚖 super easy! Flat fee. €56 to the right bank. €67 to the left bank. Make sure you ONLY use the official taxis and queue so you aren’t scammed. Easy to find upon leaving CDG.

2️⃣ 🚇 while this might be an easy and fast option you will be carrying all luggage up and down stairs as escalators and elevators are rare.

3️⃣ private transfers are typically what we opt for but when taxis are easy and you only have a few people they can be expensive. Double the price of the taxi.

When we can find that taxis are easy and inexpensive to use we tell clients to use them.

The post-holiday/cold weather blues are definitely a thing!

Any tips for getting through it?

January thru March of each year is what we in the travel industry call WAVE SEASON. It used to be a term that described the cruise industry giving their best and most favorable deals during that time.

While the deal timeframe has definitely changed Wave Season now means my clients ALL want to get their 2024 (and beyond) vacation on THEIR calendar!!

I had clients reach out LAST week and they've leaving Sunday because their email said "𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱!" LOL I love being that fairy godmother who can grant those wishes!!

What’s the number one place on your 2024 travel wish list?

Alaska is number one on my list of places to visit this year (it's happening, Lord willing, in May), and it’s no surprise because I love ___ and that the weather is cool (this Florida gal needs a break), the landscapes are magnanimous, the wildlife we get to see will be jaw dropping and to see glaciers up close...I can't wait!

What about you? Drop your top destination for 2024 below.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

It depends on the season and the destination in question. But if you ask me, sooner is always better than later especially during these days of the biggest travel boom we've ever experienced!

My suggestion is the sooner the better. Especially if you're wanting to book an ocean or river cruise...we are booking into 2025 and the availability is LOW already!! If you need connecting or even adjoining staterooms...we gotta talk yesterday!!

Reach out to me (actually head to our website (link in bio) and fill out that Travel Planning Request Form, and let’s make that travel idea a reality.

Our travel planning services have never been in more demand and our February schedule is almost full as is March!! If you want to travel anytime in 2024 reach out now and let's get you on our calendar so your trip can get on yours!!

When you client sees the VALUE of a Disney cruise!! 🙌🏼💫🚢😍

One of my jobs as a TA is to educate y’all on what value means. Of course you want the best price and we do everything we can to find that for you!

BUT keeping your focus on the value you get is what’s most important. Disney cruises aren’t the cheapest around…BUT they are packed with amazing value. The kids clubs are the best out there, rotational dining with servers who get to know your family as they rotate with you to the new venues, the myriad of water areas from pools to slides and tiny toy spraygrounds, and the adults only areas for parents to sneak away for some me time when the kiddos are all in clubs being entertained all add up to an incredible value packed vacation!

This family even missed Castaway Cay due to weather issues and STILL thought it was an amazing experience. Some of that is their great attitude to go with the flow and make everything an outstanding experience. But the other half of the equation is Disney Cruise Line is simply extraordinary!

And you wonder why I still go on them at age 54 with adults kiddos now?! 😁 Leaving next weekend for a Marvel Day at Sea on the Disney Dream! Stay tuned for that adventure!!

I don’t usually do new year’s resolutions but this is one I can totally get behind!

We finalized our 2024 trips just the other day and are getting ready to get started on lots of client adventures starting next week when we open for 2024!

Had to post this today because all of these are what we are and have been seeing.

Cliff Notes version:

Travel is still HOT HOT HOT and very in DEMAND!

I shall not complain as it's literally my job to plan amazing vacations for clients!!

But "deals" aren't plentiful although we know where to find the best value for you. So head over to our website and fill out that Trip Request Form sooner than later because with HOT DEMAND comes LOW AVAILABILITY!!

Year-over-year sales growth and strong consumer demand for travel is buoying the tourism outlook for 2024, but high hotel and air prices and the impact of politics and war cannot be ignored

New adventure loading… ☀️🏝️✈️

Hola from Cancun! I haven’t been here since 2021 believe it or not. 👀

We are visiting a few resorts this week and I’m telling you you will NOT want to miss this first one for certain! Does a 4 story water slide from the resort right into the aqua blue waters of the Caribbean entice you?! It definitely should!

Heading over to catch our boat out to Isla Mujeres for the next 3 days and then we’ll be off to the Riviera Maya to check out another resort.

We’re being hosted on Isla Mujeres by and and they’ve planned each detail of our amazing itinerary. Starting with my private transfer with who is taking us from the Cancun airport to our dock. 🛥️

Stay tuned to see all that we have planned…
