Sweet 16 - Nassau, Bahamas

Mrs. Bucknam, thank you so much for organizing our trip, it was an absolute blast! The hotel was perfect, being casual and kid friendly. Sheila and I really took advantage of that ha. I really couldn't have asked for anything better, or for a better way to celebrate being 16. I just wanted to say thank you so much for putting all the work into it that you did and making it a really special trip for us!

We had a wonderful time at the RIU Montego Bay. We spent 10 great days on the island and I will not travel again without setting it up with Linda. We were a very satisfied client and I will highly recommend Linda to my family and friends.

travLBudi, LLC helped us plan the perfect honeymoon to Maui in August, 2009. We had a wonderful honeymoon and appreciate all the time and effort Linda put in to make this happen for us. I highly recommend travLBudi for your travel needs.

Longwood, Florida - August 2009

travLBudi planned the perfect senior trip to Punta Cana for me and my family. We stayed in an ocean view suite and watched the sunrise every morning from our balcony. The turquoise waters, powdery sand beaches, volleyball, bocce ball tournaments and salsa dance lessons made the vacation complete. The morning breakfast buffet with crepes, french toast, omelets, bacon, fresh fruit, banana and melon milk shakes were delicious. This resort that travLBudi picked for us was perfect in each and every way. On top of it, we had nonstop flights from Boston in were seated in first class. Thank you again for all your hard work I cant wait to use travLBudi again for our next vacation.

New Hampshire - February 2009

Linda to help us research different honeymoon destinations that fell under the criteria we were looking to stay under. In no time at all Linda sent us a number of destinations to choose from, all of which had exactly what were looking for and better yet, they turned out to be all-inclusive destinations. We ultimately choose to stay at The Riu, which is located on Paradise Island in the Bahama's. We didn't have to think about anything! Linda not only booked our stay at The Riu, she also booked our flights and made ground transportation arrangements for us to get to/from the airport/hotel. When we arrived in the Bahama's we were greeted by our driver and the honeymoon began instantly. We never had to leave the resort as it had everything we needed right there for us.

I highly recommend TravLBudi and the booking services Linda provides. Linda saved us time, money and sanity by doing the research for us, finding a fantastic deal on the trip and most of all taking care of the small details. All we had to think about was enjoying our honeymoon. Thank you Linda!!!

Linda is very prompt, responsive and professional. She goes the extra mile. In these times with the ability to book your own travel through the internet, it is very much more peace of mind knowing that Linda was available to ask questions. She has outstanding customer service. I plan to use Linda again and would recommend her to anyone.

Linda,

First, let us thank you for helping plan our amazing honeymoon; we had an absolutely amazing time. From the time we stepped off the plane in Tahiti, everything was fantastic.

We really liked Moorea, especially the Snorkeling excursion you booked for us; thank you again. We were able to swim with some sting rays and watch the guide feed the sharks. They then brought us to a motu, cooked us lunch, and taught us how to open and shave a coconut. We also took an ATV tour which was unbelievable. The guide brought just the two of us around the island for three hours, riding to the plantations where they grow much of the food for the island as well as to various points which breathtaking views. We didn't want to leave....

BUT...we loved Bora Bora, and the Pearl Resort was incredible. I was able to go scuba diving multiple times from the center right at our hotel and am now certified. Kara and a friend we met there went on an aqua safari which she really enjoyed, surprisingly. Bloody Mary's was so good, we actually went back a couple nights later for seconds. All in all, a true paradise location perfect for a honeymoon or a romantic getaway.

I've included a couple photos for you to look through, but if you're on facebook, I have many more there.

Thank you again for all your help. Please let us know if we could help you out in any way in the future.

Regards,
Kyle & Kara

Linda did a fantastic job recently in booking us an all inclusive trip to Cancun. She worked around our specific parameters and put together lots of options for us. She was so efficient at her job and super friendly. Thank you Linda for making our experience so fantastic!

Hi Linda,

We had a wonderful time in New Zealand. Beachlife Apartments is very clean, right across the street from the beach and the owner is a very nice man. The kitchen is brand new and has everything you would need. The grocery store is within walking distance to the hotel so it is easy to stock up on items you need. There is a fantastic restaurant called Salt on the Pier that overlooks the New Brighton pier. That pier is amazing at night...all lit up in purple. The hotel is in a very quiet neighborhood and is about a 10-15 minute drive from the city. This was a nice break for us to sit back and relax after a day in the city. Air New Zealand is hands down the nicest airline I have ever flown...worth every penny.

If someone is looking for a hotel in the city like this one, I would recommend Poplar Apartments. We visited friends there who had requested to stay in the city.

Thanks so much for everything you did Linda.

We called travLBudi to help us plan our family vacation to the Walt Disney Word Resort in Florida. We wanted to stay inside the park to give our kids the ultimate experience since one is under 5 and our daughter is 15. Linda was able to get us on non-stop flights from Manchester, she checked us in and got our boarding passes for our flight home while we were enjoying our last day. She made my little boy's week by getting us a room in the Toy Story section of our hotel. It was one of the best vacation that we have had with no hassles which meant stress free. On top of it all she saved us money. I have already told Linda to start planning our vacation next year to the Caribbean.

New Hampshire - February 2008

Thanks to travLBudi we enjoyed a great vacation in Nassau, Bahamas for our spring break. We stayed at an all-inclusive resort on Paradise Island. The trip was great break from college studies with warm weather and a great location. Linda was available through all the steps of our trips which was great when we had a delay on our layover. When I needed her help she was just a phone call away.

We asked Linda Bucknam to find some cruises for us to pick from as we had a general idea of where we wanted to go but didn't have time to do the research. She came up with a couple different cruises for the timeframe we were looking for. Cruising in the Caribbean during August can always be dicey due to Hurricanes so we decided on a western Caribbean cruise to Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama aboard Carnival Liberty. Since there were 5 of us travelling, we needed 2 cabins. Linda took care of everything.

As it turned out, the ship was beautiful and the weather was perfect. We didn't have any glitches at all. As far as the ports of call, I'd recommend Costa Rica and Panama to anyone -- both are very beautiful! The Mayan ruins were great to visit at the Costa Maya, Mexico port but there was really nothing at the port itself. I think its a fairly new port and there are just a few shops. You can tell the area is being developed as there are new streets carved out, but no homes. I'm sure in 5-10 years, this place will be another Cancun but at the moment it looks like they plopped a port in the middle of nowhere.

All in all, we had a great time and I would go through Linda again to book our next vacation.

Linda Bucknam, from travLBudi helped my family and I plan our trip to Cancun in February, 2009. We started out with 15 people and a couple weeks before we had to leave a couple had to cancel for Medical reasons, but Linda was on top of it and it all went smooth. She also organized our ride to and from the hotel which worked out great also.

When we arrived at the Cancun Airport it was nice knowing someone was there to pick us all up and explain how all the excursions worked and that we had a guy from GOGO, which worked with travLBudi, to guide us and help us with tours and our ride back to the airport right at the resort.

We stayed at Crown Paradise Club Cancun and the kids loved it they had the water slides, volleyball net, mini water park, mini golf, few pools and an area to play soccer so there was plenty to entertain them.

travLBudi, LLC took all the worries and stress out of planning my cross-country vacation. Linda helped me pick out the best travel times to fit around my busy work schedule, and she found me the best price, which is so hard to do with all the options out there today.

When it came time to depart, it was great to not have to worry about tickets or travel issues. Linda is always only a call away, ready to offer her experience. She is extremely knowledgeable on every facet of the travel industry and can help understand the confusing rules at the airport.

For me, it was far above and beyond the normal travel agency experience - Linda called to ensure I had received my check-in information, and even contacted me to be sure I had landed in California safely (despite the fact that it was before 10am Eastern time!). Most agencies are only interested in the transaction (the $$$) but with travLBudi I really felt taken care of.

travLBudi will definitely be my travel connection in the future. I owe it to them for making my trip relaxing and stress-free.

Dear Linda:

I just wanted to thank you on for all your hard work in planning our recent trip to Ireland. You gave us your personal attention while maintaining a very professional approach. You listen to our request, and I know after several different quotes customized our trip to meet our needs and wants.

You were always pleasant and courteous in handling all of my many telephone calls. I know it was hard to try and accommodate several different people’s wants and needs in one total package. But you accomplish that and more. We had a wonderful time, all the accommodations were great, and exactly what we were expecting. Your insight an advice was excellent and greatly appreciated.

I would recommend you and your company to my friends, and look forward to planning my next trip with you.

Thank you for everything

Linda at TravLBudi planned our Disney vacation. We had a great time, the accommodations were nice but the Princess Breakfast in Epcot (before the park opened) was truly the highlight of the trip for my 5 year old Daughter.

We will call Linda again for future trips, she has experience we needed. She paid attention to details on the trip and yet saved us money by avoiding things she knew our kids (based on their ages) would't be interested in.

Linda also called before we were ready to leave just to check that we were all set or had any questions and reminded us of what we needed to bring---She's the best!

Amherst, NH - April 2007

Thanks to TravLBudi our family took a vacation full of a lifetime of memories. We spent 3 weeks out West visiting two National Parks a day, with a break to see relatives in California.

TravLBudi really was with us all the way. Linda helped us plan where we would be staying and what attractions were close by. It was not an easy task dealing with our changing itinerary.

I can't tell you how wonderful it was to know that no matter where we ended up we had a nice place to stay. TravLBudi put in alot of hours to ensure that my family and I had an incredible vacation.

Staying at Ruby's Inn at Bryce Canyon was one of the many highlights. It was a reproduction of an Old West Town. There were so many people from other countries that we hardly heard english being spoken. Our children had a wonderful time meeting all kinds of people and learning about where they were from.
One of my favorite places was staying right inside Mesa Verde
in a small cabin and watching the sun set outside on our balcony. Spectacular!

We never would have done that without Linda's help. I am sure that Linda would extend the same level of care to your vacation!!

We were so glad we used TravLBudi.

Linda Bucknam, from TravLBudi planned our best trip ever to the beautiful islands of Turks and Caicos. Our trip couldn’t of been any smoother plus I didn’t have to worry about planning anything. She took care of our flights, arrangements and everything in between. It was pleasure working with Linda and I would highly recommend her for your next trip.

We traveled to Turks & Caicos the day after Christmas and spent a great week at the Villa Del Mar Resort in 2 bedroom Penthouse Suite. Linda found us the perfect location to spend with our 3 grown daughters. Linda followed through with every aspect of our trip. My family thought is was our best trip yet. Thank you Linda

Bow, New Hampshire - December 2009

We used Linda and travLBudi to plan our 25th anniversary family vacation to Hawaii this past summer. She researched various flight and hotel options on different islands and came up with a great package for our family of six including the all of the airport transfers and car rentals we needed.

She booked everything for us and double checked all of the arrangements for us before we left; she even took the time to re-confirm our return flight reservations while we were in Hawaii to make sure we did not have any problems.

We have already used Linda and travLBudi to book other flight reservations and would definitely recommend her to help you with your travel plans.

Bow, NH - July 2007

I spent the bulk of the 2007 summer in Spain as part of study abroad program in college. I had the time of my life there. Before traveling abroad, I truly had no idea how to go about booking such an extensive trip, so I called Linda Bucknam and what a help she was. I only gave her a month or two's notice of traveling and she found me a fantastic round trip package. What she found for me allowed me to go early and stay later, so I could fully enjoy the country and its culture aside from my time spent in the classroom.

I would HIGHLY recommend traveling to Spain. It is fit for different types of tourists and backpackers. The coast, which includes hotspots to the north in areas of Galicia, Santander and San Sebastian and to the southeast (Mediterranean) like Barcelona, Tarragona, Valencia, Malaga or Almeria are perfect for those that just want to go and relax on the beach. Areas of more cultural significance are in Salamanca (home to the oldest University in Europe), Segovia (2000 year old Roman Aqueduct), Cordoba (home to the great Moorish synagogue La Mezquita), Granada (home to the recently nominated 8th Wonder of the World - la Alhambra) and Madrid.

When I travel again, I will definitely use Linda as my booking source. She did a phenomenal job. Using her will allow you to just worry about what you're going to do when you arrive at your vacation destination, not about how you're going to get there.

Bow, NH - August 2007

As the winter doldrums had affected our family we decided we were in need of some sun, rest and relaxation. After some searches on best warm weather, winter family vacations we decided on Atlantis in the Bahamas. The place looked terrific and we thought the kids would have a great time.

A quick e-mail to Linda at travLBudi got us going in the right direction. She successfully booked all seven of us (yes, 7 - my husband’s sister and her husband and 1 year old daughter came along for the trip too). We have two young boys, ages 4 and 1 and it was important for us that they enjoy the vacation as much as we would which meant their own seats on the plane and as direct a flight as possible. Linda made all that and more happen with ease.

The resort is fabulous. It’s a paradise for families. We stayed for 5 nights because we were looking for a quick get away from Boston but in hind sight we wished we had booked for a few more nights. The resort is very enjoyable, expensive, but worth it if you are looking for a good time.

Westford, MA - May 2007

Our family just returned from an amazing vacation which we booked through Linda Bucknam of travLBudi. We gave Linda only a vague idea of what we were looking for and she turned that into a 5 day cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozumel through Carnival Cruise Lines. It was the ideal vacation for us, given our kids ages and interests. Working with Linda, the stress of booking the flights and cruise was eliminated. She truly was there for us every step of the way, educating us on what was available and what we needed to do.

We were very pleased to find out that everything described to us was absolutely the way it was on the cruise. There were no surprises and we found that, because of Linda, we were more than prepared for all of the opportunities presented us.

We can’t wait to book our next vacation with travLBudi! We can’t express how comforting to know and have a travel agent who truly understands what our family needs in a vacation. We highly recommend travLBudi for all your vacation and travel needs.
