🗽🚌 Who's Ready for New York City at Christmastime? 🎄✨

We've been looking into our annual New York City Christmas Bus Trip, but hotel prices have come back astronomically high this year. 😲💰

Because of that, we're considering a Red Eye Express Trip instead! It's looking like the cost would be $225 per person.

📅 Tentative Schedule: 🚌 Friday, December 4 – Depart from Elkview with an additional pick-up in Clarksburg 🌅 Arrive in New York City around 7:30–8:00 AM Saturday 🗽 Enjoy a full day exploring the city, shopping, sightseeing, holiday decorations, Broadway, dining, and more! 🌃 Depart NYC at 11:00 PM Saturday 🏡 Arrive back in West Virginia Sunday morning
Before we reserve a bus, we'd like to see how much interest there is.
📊 Please comment below with one of the following emoji responses:
❤️ Yes definitely!
🤞Maybe
😭 No

Feel free to tag your friends and family who might want to experience the magic of New York City at Christmas! 🎄🗽✨

💛 A Heartfelt Update From Get Up & Go Travel 💛

This isn’t the news I hoped to share, but I want to be honest and transparent with our amazing travel family. We’ve had to cancel the Washington, D.C. 4th of July bus trip, and all passengers have already been fully refunded to their original form of payment. I’m truly sorry we won’t get to experience this special holiday together.

Over the years, so many of you have reached out with excitement, ideas, suggestions and encouragement. You’ve told me how much you’d love to travel with us — and that support has meant more than you know. ❤️ Even though we’ve tried again and again to bring new destinations to life, we’ve struggled to get enough confirmed travelers to make those trips possible. Each cancellation is more than just a disappointment — it’s a financial loss, and it’s simply not something we can continue absorbing. While that’s been challenging, I want you to know this: your enthusiasm, your messages, your loyalty — they’ve kept Get Up & Go Travel going. And for that, I’m deeply grateful. 🙏✨

🌟 We’ve had to make a tough decision.
We’re not stepping back — we’re focusing forward on just the one trip that always sells out. And the one trip that always brings joy, fills seats, and creates lifelong memories is our annual December NYC Christmas trip. 🎄🗽💙

📅 This year, we’re tentatively planning to go:
➡️ **Departing:** Friday evening, December 4
➡️ **Returning:** Sunday evening, December 6

If you’d like to be among the first to receive the finalized details, just comment Big Apple! below 🍎🗽 and I’ll add you to the notification list.

Thank you — truly — for being part of this journey. Even when plans change, your support gives me hope for every adventure still ahead. 💛✨

Today, we remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
> Their courage, sacrifice, and love for freedom continue to shape the nation we’re blessed to call home.
> As we gather with family, travel, or simply enjoy a quiet moment, may we pause to honor those who never made it back home.
> We remember. We are grateful. We carry their legacy forward. 🇺🇸
