“There are so many beautiful places to explore that I simply can never decide where to go and my husband really doesn’t care so Pack Up + Go was the perfect option. They took away all the stress of planning and found the perfect place to send us. We spent time exploring/hiking the haunted history of Savannah Georgia and the plantations of Wormsloe. We spent time out on the water on Tybee and Daufuskie Islands. The entire trip was amazing!”

“We just returned from our trip to Denver and can't wait to book another trip! The hotel amenities that were included were awesome. I loved the history of the hotel and the surrounding areas and loved that we had a lot of things within walking distance. The recommendations that were included were spot on to what we like and love to do. I will continue to recommend Pack Up + Go to everyone who is wanting to go on a trip. They do all the work for you and are super responsive to emails. They helped put my mind at ease several times.”

“Great travel experience that made a surprise trip not stressful at all! The chef tour was amazing and let us try all the popular food within 2 hours. Then we got to pick which one to go back to. We want to do Pack Up + Go every year. Thank you so much!”

“Things I learned from going on a Babymoon Staycation with Pack Up + Go:

  1. There is so much to explore and discover close to home!

  2. It is possible to eat at 5 different restaurants, snack at 4 bakeries/coffee shops/fresh markets, visit two museums/conservatories, walk at 3 parks, explore miles of shops, and relax with 2 movies at the hotel, in less than 48 hours (while 33 weeks pregnant). The key is having an awesome itinerary, a great exploring partner, a change of clothes/shoes, and a nice hotel room.

  3. Most importantly, this Staycation allowed us to enjoy one another before welcoming another child and allowing our already beautiful marriage to bloom again!”

“I absolutely LOVED this trip. It was a girl’s trip that was so perfect we've decided to make it a bi-annual trip.”

“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me this opportunity. Your ads were popping up at the most perfect time. This wasn't an anniversary trip, or birthday fun.. or even a girl’s weekend... I went alone... You see, my other half passed away in March. He was my best friend and my rock. There are no words for such loss. You plan a life with them and then they just don't come home. Your trip planning gave me some peace on this earth that I must keep going. He was my moon and my compass. We promised each other the world. So with the love we had, I decided to do exactly that. Travel the world with him by my side at every step. He would be so proud. I am in Michigan and your lovely planners took me to Denver. I have never set foot in Colorado and I got to take him with me. I can't thank you enough for planning all the details of this memorial trip. It is a huge representation of the love we have and the love he gave me. His name is Tony.”

“Our Pack Up + Go experience made it one of my favorite vacations and I will definitely be using them again! Our hotel was literally across the street from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell and walking around the Olde City allowed us to truly picture the city in its early days. Eastern State Penitentiary was so interesting, The Dandelion for dinner was such a great choice, and the Philly Food Tours were fascinating and delicious!”

“We LOVED our trip to San Diego! We didn't have to stress about where to eat since they made reservations for two nights at fabulous restaurants. An added bonus was a gift card to use at one of them! The view of the coast in La Jolla was one of our favorite sights! We enjoyed watching the seals and sea lions! The hotel was wonderful as well! It was a perfect trip!”
