Do ya'll have any interest in a weekly thread of either where you are traveling this week, or what future trip you booked? Or a monthly one? I thought it might be interested to post your trips. Travel agents could post what they booked for clients too.

Booked a cabin at a state park for the eclipse next April.

Great idea. A monthly one would be better.

So far this week for clients I have booked:

Disney - Mom/daughter staying at the Contemporary. What is so sweet about this trip is that someone else is fully funding it for them. I was contacted by an older gentleman and he is paying for them - 6 nights, 6 park hopper tickets, dining plan, etc.

Royal Caribbean 4 day cruise in Jan - 2 cabins

Celebrity Cruise - 12 day Transatlantic - Florida to Lisbon. Surprisingly inexpensive but you have to know it will be rough seas and many sea days in a row. No way I could do it.

Couple of rooms at resorts I have destination weddings booked at (Fives and Dreams Onyx).



Had clients return from Secrets Vallarta Bay.
8 rooms currently onsite at Iberostar Dorada in Puerto Plata (low end resort)

I can do that! I'll start a new one November 1st!

I booked a trip to South Korea in November. Flights, hotels and three different tours with the timetour https://www.timetour777.com/ are organized already. I still would appreciate recommendations for the places to eat and maybe more places to visit outside the Seoul. Anyone beed there recently? How was your trip?

Headed to Tulum today!

Im at the TownePlace Suites in Conroe. That's traveling right

Where are you staying?

I flew to Jackson, MS and drove to Starkville to visit my son for the weekend. Good ole Southwest and Holiday Inn Express.

Still watching flights over week of Christmas to see if I can snag a last minute deal. Also considering driving to New Orleans for a couple of days during that time to enjoy the food and Christmas decorations.

I've considered NO too for week after Christmas. Husband doesn't feel it's very safe. But I don't want to go back to Branson this year (did that the past two years). My daughter and I always try to go a getaway then.

Leave tomorrow for cruise from Istanbul to Athens. The itinerary no longer includes Israel for some reason.

Headed to New Orleans for dia de Los muertos celebrations and fun next week. Yes it can be unsafe but in all reality it isn't any more unsafe than any other metro. Plus wandering in garden district zero issues. It's mostly around the quarter and late at night.

For the is week I've booked:

A multi generational trip for clients to Beaches Turks and Caicos. These 16 from grandparents down to grand children are going to have a blast in Summer 24.

booked 2 trips for families to Walt Disney World for Christmas and Spring Break

Booked a multi generational Disney Cruise for sweet grandparents to gift to family for Christmas.

This week I've have Honyemooners coming home today from Unico and loved the property and food.

Clients celebrated 10th Anniversary at Sandals south coast and loved YS falls

I was just there last week and one of my favorite for a foodie .

ps love this idea!!!

The thread is a good idea, but I don't think you need a monthly thread. Just one big thread. The way TexAgs is set up, it's easy to see when new posts are made and easy to go to the newest post

How is The Fives? I am attending a wedding in May at the Beach property. Canadian couple and I had never heard of it.

Ironically I've never sold it besides this wedding. I've quoted it a ton. I think people like that you can get 1-3 bedrooms semi-affordably so it makes it nice for larger families. I don't think there is much for teens to do. They provide baby amenities so it makes it easy to travel if you have kiddos under 2.

We have a place in Aldea Zama. My wife grew up here.

Which Fives? They have several. The Five's in Playa is North by Viceroy and Coco Cabanas. Great hotel, great pool, great food options, but not close to Centro at all. It's a solid 10 minute taxi ride into Centro and back which can add up if you're paying the gringo rate vs the local rate.

We are doing a short driving tour next week. We will swing by Lost Maples, and then head on out to the Alpine area. Will do the star party at McDonald Observatory and check out Big Bend Ranch State Park, among other things.

Christmas trip back to TX, UAL COS to AUS. Pleasantly surprised to see that the airfare wasn't outrageous, ~350/seat. Was actually a little cheaper than flying COS to IAH and not much more than flying out of DIA.

Booked flight, hotel, and car for 2024 May graduation in Lubbock,

These guys have the thread bookmarked.

Me - booked a house beachfront on Dauphin Island for a week. Trip with the fam for an undisclosed date.

Flight booked to Bolivia- going in January.

Wife and I are trying to put together a last minute trip to NYC the week before Xmas

Booked lodging at Zion, Bryce Canyon and Moab (Arches NP) for October '24.

Going to Sedona Thursday - Monday.

Just missed hitting up a WS game in Phoenix.

Cartagena, Colombia for the weekend....with a day trip to one of the islands.

Ahh jealous one of my favorite cities do you know which island? Need any recommendations?

Heard great things about this place but we booked our trip too late. Apparently need reservations 40-60 days in advance. https://www.elotecafe.com/

We had a great Airbnb this past spring break. It was much more reasonably priced that any hotel during that time.

Put in for the 2024 lottery for High Sierra Camps in Yosemite

Oooh this is fun!

Booked for my amazing clients last week --

Costa Rica multistop for 10th Wedding Anniversary next June -- El Mangroove and Amor Arenal

Celebrity Cruise - Mediterranean for next summer

Princess Cruise - Alaska - 2 multigenerational families getting to see Alaska for the first time next summer!

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya Honeymoon in February

RIU Palace in Cabo for a 21st birthday celebration in a few months

A few ski trips finalizing this week to Colorado and Utah - ski season is my favorite time of year.

I'm personally planning my own Germany/Paris trip for next year and super pumped about it!

Over the weekend we booked 6 nights in cabo at the villa palmar with two other families for next July.
Today I extended the stay 4 more nights at the westin cabo, since we had already prepaid for 4 nights there with some Marriott vacation club deal, so figure since we're already going to be there, might as well do it then instead of flying some other time.

So 10 nights in cabo for us next summer.

We also just recently booked royalton splash in cancun, for next october, with 2 of our neighbor families. We all have a child turning 10, 2 of them that week in october, the other a few months later in jan, so it's kind of a big bday bash for those 3 kids.

So, 2 trips to mexico for us next year.
