PLEASE GO AWAY™ VACATIONS ARE DIFFERENT – IN WAYS THAT HELP YOU   

• You will always talk to a real live person. You will never talk to a machine or be relegated to voice mail – you are too important. Regular office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Central Time Zone) Monday - Friday. However, we welcome personal, telephone and email appointments at other times if more convenient to you.
• We were founded in 1966. Since that time our travel team has consistently arranged travels to (and personally experienced, as well) all 7 continents and cruised the oceans of the world.
• "Every" departure date of "every" itinerary of "every" quality travel company and cruise line is available for you right here in our offices at the same - or quite often - better price than can be found elsewhere.

OUR THREE PILLARS OF TRAVEL // "AS YOU LIKE IT" TRAVEL - "FEATURE" TRAVEL - "PRIVATE LABEL" TRAVEL

• Our exclusive "AS YOU LIKE IT" TRAVEL program serves those travelers preferring independent travel experiences where they are not part of an organized group.  This works ideally for individuals, couples, families, and groups of friends that want to accomplish special individualized travel experiences.  This special service allows our travelers the ability "go away" anywhere - anytime - anyway.
• By contrast, our exclusive 'FEATURE" TRAVEL program provides an unmatched value-added personally hosted travel program for those travelers preferring the comfort, camaraderie and security of traveling with a group of individuals sharing common travel interest.  Often using the programs of leading cruise lines and travel companies as the foundation to which we add the building blocks of Special Included "Bonus Features" combined with always included roundtrip air transportation and travel protection insurance the result is an all-inclusively priced  constructed unique and travel memory-making experience not available anwhere else.  Over the years we have had multiple travelers experience more than 70 of these special experiences with others close behind.  Our"Travel Wall of Fame" consists of almost 2,000 intrepid travelers who have experience five or more of these specially-crafted experiences.
• Our exclusive "PRIVATE LABEL" TRAVEL program is a specialized program for our "Preferred Oraganizations" like state university alumni associations, community concert associations, etc. where we secure and administer all travel components of a travel experience tailored to the express desires of the organizationthat is promoted and  operated under the organization's name.
