On the merits of trains…
I showed up at Penn Station in NYC at about 5:15, saw there was a 5:17 train to Philly. Bought the ticket, ran through the station, and am going to be in Philly in an hour! No taking my shoes off, no taking my computer out, no questioning of whether I had over 3 oz […]
A short trip to Munich, Germany
My wife and I decided to do this short trip to Germany for a few reasons: My wife’s brother Matt is studying in nearby Salzburg, Austria and it was his birthday weekend; I had a few vacation days I needed to use; Germany is awesome. We have been to Europe multiple times before, and it […]
A weekend in Austin
This isn’t meant to be a comprehensive Austin guide, but just a list of some of the fun things I saw and did there this past weekend. 1. SXSW – I was already in Fort Worth last week, so why not go visit Austin during South by SouthWest? As a gal who’s mostly just been to […]
Bob, San Francisco, Fall, 2009
Bob thought he was too busy to plan a vacation, so MMT stepped in. According to Bob, “The worst part of any vacation is always planning it, figuring out the logistics, etc… The best part of any vacation is always a surprise – something unexpected happens that makes for a great story.

Kristie & Nick, Hawaii, Summer 2010
As Nick and Kristie’s wedding was fast-approaching, they realized they didn’t have the time or energy needed to organize a well-planned honeymoon.

Nick and Kristie wanted to be hands-on in the selection process, so MMT provided them with lists of […]

What happens if I need to cancel?
We know that life can sometimes throw some unexpected things your way. We will do our best to accommodate you should life events cause you to cancel. However, we are unable to refund the fees for our services nor the cancellation fees from transportation or hospitality services, such as hotels or airlines.
This mystery tour thing is interesting, but I don’t think it’s for me. Will you work with me to set-up a trip where I’ll know where I’m going?
Of course! While we love the suspense and mystery of showing up at a travel hub, unaware of your final destination, we will be happy to work with you to find the best deals on a more traditional trip.
Can I use my frequent flyer miles or other travel rewards?
Absolutely, though keep in mind that the availability of award travel options may limit the dates and destination for your trip. We do charge an additional fee to book using miles.
