TRAVEL ESCAPES

12/23/2024

I am going to be shutting down this FB page for Travel Escapes. Sometimes I miss messages or they don't always come through completely. Sometimes I can make a post and very few people will actually see it on their newsfeed. I am going to now be operating under just ONE FB account and hopefully, that will resolve this issue. Trying to simplify it all under one FB account, bc at the end of the day, I am known as Lynn Reed, the owner/CEO of Travel Escapes and I'm okay with that!! Matter of fact, I love it!! Here is the link to my official personal AND business page: https://www.facebook.com/TVLESCPXBYLYNN

And once again, my host company announces the 5 Star Agents for 2024. I am in this category because of two reasons.........1)God having my business in the palm of His hand 2)Clients. Thank you seems so inadequate. I am humbled, honored, grateful!

Stopped in at the The Blushing Bride Ky recently and they are certainly in the Christmas spirit. It's a one stop shop for all your wedding needs. And I even have my very own QR code!!

Be sure to watch for the date to be announced very soon about the upcoming Winter Bridal Show and & Expo!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVE EVERYONE!! We had our Thanksgiving dinner this past Sunday evening so mine and Ms. Audrey's menu will be slightly different tomorrow. I saw some mini corndogs and a frozen lasagna in the freezer a little bit ago - that could be an option. :/
Anyway - I want to say how very thankful I am for each and every client. This has been a great year for the travel industry and I am expecting 2025 to soar even higher. Whether I have served you one time or many times over, I am grateful that I could assist - and I hope you will reach out to me for your travel needs for the remainder of this year and also 2025.
I have a tremendous amount of trips to work on in the next 3 or 4 days and I really have to fasten my seatbelt and not look up!! I have everything from family trips, milestone anniversaries, honeymoons, senior year celebrations - you name it, I've got it to work on!! Isn't that amazing??!! I appreciate the confidence and trust you place in me.
This year, more than ever there is a huge number of BLACK FRIDAY SPECIALS going on and I don't want anyone to miss out. So if we have talked about future travel for you and your family, just know I am going to be reporting to you VERY SOON and I appreciate your patience. Here are just a few examples I am seeing:

*Coupon codes from suppliers offering up to $150 off per booking!

*Deep discounts on many package deals throughout this holiday weekend.

*Reduced deposits on cruises as well as on board credits!!

*Some ships doing some repositioning cruises and adding new/exciting ports of call!!

*A couple of suppliers offering air credits on 2025 itineraries for escorted tours including the United Kingdom and Ireland!!

*And who wouldn't love to unwrap an Alaskan cruise under the Christmas tree this year?? I still have some space available on my group cruise to Alaska sailing in July of 2025 (and reduced deposit and on board credits too!)

*(the fine print) Certain restrictions and blackout dates may apply. Space is based on price and availability. No cash value for coupon codes or on board credits. All specials, promos and discounts valid on NEW bookings only. Other restrictions may apply based on supplier and agent terms and conditions.

Okay - so if I don't do this post correctly, I'll never get it explained bc I have a sinus headache that hates me and I hate it. :/ My friend, Sarah Lager posted this back on September 24th and I commented on it. Here is her post and also my comment:

When you and your family get sick, you pray.
When our relationships and marriages need mending, you pray.
But something negative doesn’t need to be happening… See more....
But something negative doesn’t need to be happening to ask God to make a way.
Starting a business can and should be on the list of things you talk to God about.
Ask Him to show you His plan for your business idea.
Maybe you only get a piece of it at first, but hold on to that piece and keep seeking Him. Let Him reveal the entire picture in His time, but definitely ask to see what He has in store for you and ask what you can do to get there!

I have prayed for the Lord to bless me and my business....bless me indeed - just like Jabez. And the last week has really been proof that you have to be careful what you pray for.

Hey Lynn! You had commented on my post the other day that you prayed and God answered! I've been tossing this idea around in my mind about interviewing different business owners and making a newsletter to send out that gets people excited about entreprenuership. Would you be willing to allow me to interview you for it?
Sep 26, 2024, 2:30 PM
You sent
Why sure!! I would be honored to help you out.

And then I got nervous!!! I can count on one hand the times I have nervous!!! This was definitely one of them. It gave me a sick feeling and I almost chickened out. And I thought about what I would say to Sarah, what would come out of this mouth??!! And so I ended up writing a back story so she would have something to refer to just in case I stated something stupid!! Then I learn she is a photographer and I was in need of one for the Ultimate Girl Party for the Mr & Mrs. Santa Claus photo sessions. This is where it gets real good.....she stated she wanted to photograph me. This is where I started freaking bc if there is anything I hate, is having my pix taken. Just because they never turn out even 1/2 decent.....I don't have an ounce of photogenic blood in me and every pix I ever was in, I pretty much looked like a big stuffed toad frog. (Yes, I did!!!) And I had no idea of what I wanted to wear....I finally come up with an outfit that respected the season and wasn't like something that I bought 25 years ago at a cheap Hollywood thrift store. Anyway, Sarah Lager as it turns out, made me feel totally at east during the interview. And I am sure there are some of the pix where I look like a deer in the headlights......these 3 is what I have been able to view thus far. As for the interview, I really don't know what she'll compose out of that bc I do remember asking her, at one point, if I was talking too much. (that has been known to happen) but she looked up very quickly and laughed and stopped her frantic writing for about 10 seconds and said, "No!!". Anyway, Wednesday afternoon was a beautiful day.....I was nervous bc I am used to talking about places. I'm used to talking up new hotels and this time it was a totally different topic.....Me!! I enjoyed every second of it and as the interview ended, I was so happy to see a client walking towards me. Actually, she started out as a client and has become one of my sweetest friends and travel buddies. I think the highlight of the afternoon was, yes, doing the interview with Sarah, but recalling so many wonderful memories of South Maysville and the visits to Oldham's, Newberry's, Belk's and Hobbs. Those stores, that entire area plays a big part of my childhood. And then my time working at Carrington Travel for many years......I have to admit, I got a little sentimental......This beautiful little town and it's people have such a special place in my heart. Thank you, Sarah Lager - I appreciate you letting me walk down Memory Lane.
