My wife and I were on a beach in Costa Rica. The day was warm and the air clean, we had been on am amazing zipline over the rain forest earlier in the day. We were watching the sun set behind a bluff as the waves splash over our toes. My wife turned to say something to me and I pointed behind her and she turned and said "the sunset just keeps getting better every minute". As we started to walk back I turned to my wife and said everyone needs to experience this, the feeling of calm, of serenity, of nature, of BLISS. So it was this moment that the seeds were planted. It was from that seed that we decided to start this business to help you find your bliss. If your looking for your trip of a lifetime or need the best rates on a quick trip, we can help. We have turned our love for travel and helping people and combined them to create your travel friends.

Kissing the Blarney Stone
Reviewed By Robertsonzoo - Narrows, VA | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
I found James when he replied to a comment I made on a public travel post. I had always been the one to do all of the research and booking for our trips. Now I have James to do it and I couldn't be happier. James finds the best deals, the quaintest locations, and the most fabulous venues for our trips. He searches until he finds exactly what fits our budget and our style. Our trip to Ireland will go down as one of the most fantastic trips we got to take with my parents who are in their 80s. My curmudgeon father absolutely loved the trip, so I know that James picked just the right tour for us. James has planned many trips for us since I found him. 2020-2021 saw us cancelling many of our trips (all with James' help) - but 2022 is our great comeback and James is right in the middle of all of our planning. He is extremely responsive to messages and keeps in mind budgets and desires when sending options.
He is the best, you can't go wrong with his help.

Another great vacation booked by James !!
Reviewed By Lori - Phoenixville, PA | Traveled to St Lucia ~ South Africa ~ Africa
Our third vacation booked by James Kitchen, all were amazing but he really went over the top on this one. Our trip to Sandals Regency La Toc was originally scheduled for 2020 - James booked all our meals, activities, excursions, transportation, etc only to have it cancelled for Covid. He rescheduled everything for 2021, only to have it cancelled once again. He rescheduled it all for 2022 and we finally got to go. And everything was perfect. He thought of every detail and worked diligently with the sandals group office to make sure our group had everything we needed and was well taken care of. Already talking to James about our next vacation and plan to use him for years to come !!

James coordinated nearly every aspect of our school trip and responded to emails during my flight to verify that my group had a shuttle waiting when we landed. As an extremely busy teacher, he took a lot of stress off of me to organize travel across country. Patriot FCCLA is so thankful!!!

Mr. Kitchen as always gone over the top to ensure that my family has a fun and safe vacation. He never misses a detail. Our trips are so much more enjoyable when I do not have to keep up with the details. Can't wait for the next one.

Saved Honeymoon
Cannot say enough good things about Seas2day! Our honeymoon was everything I dreamed of and more! Not just the trip but we had some flight issues and I called him in the middle of my reception and had it resolved within minutes! I can’t begin to express how much I appreciated everything he did for us! He goes above and beyond for his clients!
