What Our
Travelers Say.

Our trip to the Italian Riviera and Tuscany was so great! Everything we hoped for in the experience. Our guide/host was so knowledgeable and fun to travel along. The food, hotels, guided tours and sights were magical. We feel very blessed to have a successful trip and outstanding planning. Our group really meshed and became a great group of friends. Four of us couples plan on meeting this year in the states for a reunion.

I’m assuming we can work through you in checking out these possibilities. We so appreciate your expertise and efficiency, so I thought I would contact you rather than American Cruise Lines — I believe you do the planning for no extra cost to us.

The trip went off without any problems. When I got to Avis there were about 30 customers there mad and waiting on a car. Some for over an hour. I gave them my name and mine was ready and they handed me the keys to a very nice Expedition. The flight and motel were all perfect. I just wanted to say thank you for making it so easy. You will get amazing referrals from me.

Thank you Paula! I love the video. What a remembrance.

Thank you so much for putting that together! It’s a great reminder of a wonderful trip.

Thank you so much for the time and energy you put into this to make this a memorable trip.

Cora, thank you so much for all you did to help us arrange our 50-year anniversary cruise. It was a wonderful experience and you made it worry free for us. We just can’t thank you enough.

Paula, thank you so much for hosting the Morocco trip. It’s an adventure I’ll never forget. Add this 20 bill to the first one who signs up for the next Morocco trip. I’ll watch for future trips with your company that interest me. Merry Christmas and an exciting new year of travel and adventure.

Watching the turtle lay her eggs and then the bonus of getting to see baby turtles from another hatch rushing to the sea. (Highlight)

I think seeing and experiencing the rivers and seeing all the trees, plants, and animals along the rivers made me realize what an amazing ecosystem exists there. (Costa Rica)

Thank you everyone for providing a great travel experience again. We really appreciate everything done by Paula to help us on the trip.

Visiting the beautiful islands and traveling with such a fun group. This was all new territory for me and I loved it.

Getting to see the Pope and walking in the steps where Saint Paul walked.

Going through the Holy Door. See Pope Leo twice. Praying at the tomb of St. Francis of Assisi.

Tour manager and guides made the trip wonderful.

Everything was perfect. Well-planned tour. Our tour guide was phenomenal.

The opportunity to see Pope Leo twice was great. But I also liked that the schedule was not real stressful.

We have arrived in London. Hotel is lovely and very centrally located. Thanks for all your work to make our trip happen!

Having a Please Go Away hostess on the trip adds a level of comfort, knowing if there are any complications, you have someone there to assist you. We didn’t have any complications, but if we did she was there for us.

Cora did an excellent job taking care of us!

One of the things I really enjoy about Please Go Away travel is all of the neat off-the-main-radar things we get to do! Today, as we traveled from Monterey to Modesto, we made 3 really interesting stops: Pezzini Artichoke Farm — over 100 years growing artichokes, even an artichoke cupcake. Sciabica Family Olive Oil — I now know more about olive oil than I ever imagined! And the Rodin Family Farm, an almond orchard where we ate almonds right off the tree.

Paula, Jeanne and I want to thank you and tell you we greatly appreciate all of your leadership and continually gathered everyone up and directed where to go.

THANK YOU so much!!! That whale watching was on my bucket list — so I didn’t want to miss it. You can see Jane and I booked the railroad thing last night after you suggested it! You are the BEST! You are making this stress free!! 🙂

Enclosed is our deposit check for the Japan trip next April. I’ve heard Japan is a beautiful country. We are looking forward to checking that out. Thank you for letting us tag along.

Thank you for hosting the meet and greet at your house. Your home is lovely. And breakfast was perfect. Thank you.

There were many highlights! Tulips and food probably top the list — and the beautiful scenery. Paula took care of all the details. She’s awesome.

Paula, congrats on such a successful career and helping so many people.

We’ve looked a little bit into Hawaii and we love the idea of doing some island hopping while we’re there. We just need some help planning and finding the best deals. You came highly recommended from a friend!

Cora has been soooooooo helpful with my soon Cunard trip as well as the Princess cruise with my brother this fall. I bet she has cursed me a time or two since I connected him with her! He is new to cruising so has tons of questions which she always answers. Give that girl a raise!

I wanted to let you know about the wonderful time we had on the Springtime in the South trip. Kim did such a great job keeping us all in line! She was such a joy to travel with! All of us in our group commented on how we would love to travel together again. We had travelled with Shannon and Kurt before — they are so much fun to be around! Anyway, it was a great trip!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

Wow — what a week!!! Thanks for planning such a wonderful trip that we will long remember. 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.

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 have been better if you had handpicked the participants! I wish all our travel experiences could be so positive. Thank you for a great experience.

This was just a lovely trip! Congenial people and great things to see and learn about! 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!

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. P.S. We were advised by some of the veterans that you would not accept tips — so our sincere appreciation is all you get.

The housekeeping staff, dining room servers, and on-board excursion hostess were all phenomenal. I want to make sure they were taken care of.

Enjoyed the trip. Mary did a great job of keeping us informed, helping us, answering questions. She is an excellent hostess.

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.

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.

Looking forward to Australia in January. This cruise line was a STAR in my books (referring to American Cruise Lines).

Paula, it was a wonderful afternoon with good food, visiting friends & meeting new ones. Thank you for entertaining us at your lovely home and beautiful yard.

Paula, I meant to reach out to you sooner. I received reimbursement for the medical insurance claim a couple weeks ago. Thank you so much for the help.

New 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 companion has not had the same opportunities. This is a great start for him to see locations outside of his current world of Bonner Springs, Kansas.

Hopefully I will be able to go on more cruises in the future. Thank you for the wonderful job that you do for everyone that is lucky enough to work with you.

We’ve just moved… once settled down we may be interested in traveling again in the US. Please Go Away is the BEST!

Jean Rush has done fabulous travel experiences with you. We want to know what is coming up to make our travel plans and budget.
