My name is Charles Jackson, owner of Bluegill Travel Agency.  Originally from beautiful South Florida, I now reside in New Caney, TX.  I love to travel, and I have been incredibly fortunate to have traveled extensively for over 20 years.

Before 9/11, I worked in the travel industry for two major airlines' vacation brands. I began in the reservations area, moved on to accounting, worked as the Internet marketing coordinator, and finally a Revenue Management analyst.  It was in the Revenue Management area that I learned travel marketing, as I was responsible for writing the fine print for newspapers, magazines, and online content advertised to the public. 

In 2010 I began taking cruises, in part because some of the destinations I wanted to visit, especially in Europe, I had never experienced.  Cruising allowed me to see multiple locations on one trip to get a taste of the place without investing too much time and money.  Once I experienced a destination that I fell in love with, it was then that I would plan a trip to that location, knowing a lot more about it.  I love cruises, too, because I pay for everything upfront.  Those that are budget-conscious, cruising is a great way to stay on budget.  Once on the ship, there are no unexpected expenses except shopping! 

In 2023 I re-entered the travel industry because it's not only something I enjoy doing myself but others frequently ask me to assist them with their travel planning because of my experience and attention to detail.  

My goal as your agent is to help you create memories that will last a lifetime.
