LINDA BLAKE - Tampa, FL 2/18/2025 The trip to New Zealand was so beautiful. The scenery was spectacular. Being able to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef has always been a dream!! It came true. Seeing the Opera House and being able to see part of a rehearsal was great. |
LINDA STAHLMAN - Hays, KS 2/5/2025 This was truly an amazing adventure! It’s a step out of one’s comfort zone that lets you experience northern lights, feeding reindeer, having a dog sled ride, eating reindeer, enjoying good food and being with others having fun as well! The cabin and glass igloo were very nice accommodations! Helsinki was an interesting place to explore and see sights there too! Their library is amazing! Memories! |
CINTHA PAVAN - Lapland 1/28/2025 Cora - I wanted to thank you especially for the wonderful group you brought with you to Lapland and for being such a gentle soul. I am looking forward to seeing you in the near future. |
KARILEA JUNGEL - Salina, KS 1/7/2025 Larry and Marilyn - Carroll and I were talking a few months ago about the good times we had with you on the trips you so carefully crafted. He told me, "don't worry, you will see them again." And I know I will. |
DORANN CLEMENCE - Abilene, KS 11/11/2024 Oh my goodness!! How could I possibly forget to thank you for honoring me on my BIRTHDAY in Africa!! What a dream come true!! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful memory....which I will treasure forever!!! |
CHUCK & MARY JO HAMON - Valley Falls, KS 11/11/2024 Wow What a Week!!! Thanks for planning such a wonderful trip that we will longremember. It was fun to meet you and explore all the connections we share!It is hard to pick a highlight of the trip, but the wonderful people we met would have to be near the top of the list. You made the trip very interesting with all your little surprises and special treats. You are truly a professional tour guide and took special care of each of us. We hope we will have the opportunity to travel again with Please Go Away. |
SUE SCHOENHALS - Shattuck, OK 11/7/2024 Paula - I have enclosed a thumb drive with an assortment of pictures from our recent trip to Maine. What a trip that was !! Doug and I very much enjoyed the experience. Your planning and execution of the trip was excellent. I know you have no control over who signs up for a tour but it couldn't been better if you had handpicked the participants! I wish all our travel experiences could be so positive. Thank you for a great experience. |
LINDA STAHLMAN - Hays, KS 10/30/2024 This was just a lovely trip! Congenial people and great things to see and learn about! The lobster man was disappointing as he seemed to be showcasing himself ahead of telling information about lobsters! His speaking also was so fast that it was difficult to internalize the information he was telling the audience! We absolutely loved the trip! I know of people who would like to go if you were going to keep offering it! Thanks for another awesome adventure! Linda |
DEAN & KAREN WALL - Olathe, KS 10/28/2024 Paula - Thank you so much for all of your time and expertise in putting this week together for all of us. What a wonderful and memorable week you directed from beginning to end - so much fun - so much to see - so many details taken care of including excellent communications! It will always be a highlight for us in our travel experiences. We certainly look forward to working with you again. May the year ahead be fruitful. God's blessings to you. P.S. We were advised by some of the "veterans" that you would not accept tips - so our sincere appreciation is all you get. |
LINDA BLAKE - Tampa, FL 10/24/2024 I don't know what "included in gratuity" covered. I think that should be explained. The housekeeping staff, dining room servers, and on board excursion hostess were all phenomenal. I want to make sure they were taken care of. I did provide additional $$ to them. |
JACK & LELA JEAN HOWERTON - Lyons, KS 10/24/2024 Enjoyed the trip. Mary did a great job of keeping us informed, helping us, answering questions. She is an excellent hostess. |
MICK & PAT VAN ALLEN - Phillipsburg, KS 10/24/2024 We have always appreciated the helpfulness and kindness of your agency. The tours have been outstanding and when we had to cancel on the day of the tour due to illness, the staff was so accommodating at getting our refund. I wouldn’t use any other travel agency. |
SUE KIPP - Phillipsburg, KS 10/24/2024 It was fun to travel with new & old friends. No better medicine than sharing good times & laughs while exploring new areas and learning more about our beautiful country. |

MARY ANN WORTHINGTON - Leawood, KS 9/23/2024 New 2025 travel opportunities are a wonderful chance to meet new people and see the world. I have been to all continents, 50 US states, other miscellaneous travels. My companionhas not had the same opportunities. This is a great start for him to see locations outside of his current world of Bonner Springs, Kansas. We are interested in both trips and wouldlike to attend your meeting on Saturday, September 28th.We will be driving from Leawood, Kansas on Friday, September 27, staying overnight at a hotel/motel in Great Bend, Kansas you recommend and look forward to meeting you and all travelers attending the meeting on Saturday. |

Thank you for the wonderful job that you do for everyone that is lucky enough to work with you |

ELLEN GREEN - Basehor, KS & JEAN RUSH - Topeka, KS 7/18/2024 HAVE FUN! I was Surprised to see the photos from our trip and be able to identify some of those pictured! It was a great trip. |
JAN BORST - Overland Park, KS 6/18/2024 Cora, thanks for working with my brother Ron. He’s very pleased with what you’re doing for us. It was an adventure getting home from NYC as ship was late getting to NYC. Got to the airport okay, bag checked, but by the time I got to the gate, plane was backing up to taxi. Grrrrr. Was told next flight to KC was next morning (Sunday) but an agent found seats for me to go to Detroit and then to KC Saturday evening. Long story short I got to KC about 5 hours later than planned and my suitcase was right there in the baggage office. So all ended well. But an adventure nonetheless Again thanks again for all you do for me and now for us I scheduled another transatlantic with Cunard for May 2025. |
LESLIE ABBOTT - Pratt, KS 6/10/2024 Paula, Just got back to work….I wanted to thank you for your help in planning our vacay. We had a wonderful time! |
DEBBIE GLENN - Sterling, KS 6/6/2024 I just wanted to reach out and thank you for making our first cruise such an amazing experience. Everything went smooth as butter, there wasn't anything that happened that I wasn't expecting or prepared for. In fact, the whole thing was so easy it was shocking. Embarkation took less than 20 minutes total. We spent longer in the security line at Sea-Tac coming home than we did in any line connected with the cruise. Having all the transfers arranged took the stress out of everything. We can't wait to go again! I'm hoping for the New England and Canada cruise. My husband still thinks he'd like to do a Riverboat cruise too. Either way, we'll reach out for your assistance and will be spreading the word about how amazing you were to work with! |
ANGELA FORNEY - El Cajon, CA 5/7/2024 Spending time with my mom. Outside of that, it’s truly hard to say. I enjoyed seeing all the centuries old architecture, the countryside and castles. St. Fagan’s Natural History museum was amazing. I could’ve spent and entire day there. |
JAN STEPHENS - Severy, KS 5/6/2024 Cora, thank you for your leadership and friendship on our British Isles trip. It was a fun trip with lots of good memories. |
