GREETINGS HORNET NATION!

Our special travel program benefits all travelers, regardless of your travel interests and how you prefer to travel.  Astute travelers with these widely diverse travel interests are reserving earlier than ever before.  They know when they do this they receive the best available early savings, promotional perks, etc. that are available long before the travel experience departs  These benefits and savings quickly disappear.  Understanding the need for early reservations, but at the same time understanding plans can and often do change, we are pleased to remind you of our two exclusive benefits present on all our "PRIVATE LABEL" and our personally escorted and valued added "FEATURE" TRAVEL programs that protect you when you take advantage of early reservation benefits.  They are:

ALWAYS SPECIAL HORNET SAVINGS FOR ENTIRE TRAVEL PARTY "PLUS" MATCHING MONETARY CONTRIBUTION TO ASSOCIATION

On all travels whether with one of our "FEATURE TRAVEL" departartures or any experience of any travel company or cruise line you see anywhere else ESU constituents and their entire travel party receive special ESU savings smounts over and above the best price otherwise obtained.  The total amount of your special ESU savings is matched with a monetary contribution made to the Association to further our goals.

EARLY RESERVATION DEPOSIT REFUND GUARANTEE 

Such a date is shown in the details of the brochure for each of our "PRIVATE LABEL" TRAVEL and personally escorted and value added group "FEATURE" TRAVEL programs.  Until that date you can cancel "for any reason" and receive a prompt  cash refund of your reservation deposit less any amount indicated to be nonrefundable as detailed on the specific brochure.  This nonrefundable  provision is only present on a very few departures.  Always be sure to ask questions before you reserve.

ALWAYS INCLUDED TRAVEL PROTECTION 

If you are required to cancel "for covered reasons" (health, accident, death, etc.) after the 100% date you, are protected by the included travel protection that is part of each program.

THERE'S MORE

Our special travel savings and benefits program provides you and your entire travel party with unlimited travel opportunities and with the type of travel experiences you prefer.  This is accomplished through our all-inclusive three "Pillars of Travel".  They are:

Pillar #1 - Hornet Nation Group "FEATURE" TRAVEL Program

This is a special program of select personally escorted and value-added travel experiences that have additional perks and benefits included that make them one-of-a-kind experiences.  Each of our "FEATURE" TRAVEL experiences is "all inclusive," meaning that everything that is detailed in the brochure is already included in the one price shown.  There are no hidden or surprise charges or expensive add-ons, normally found on other programs.  Roundtrip air transportation is among included items; as is travel protection.  Departure from your home area is easily arranged by our travel professional partners, with proper adjustments (up or down) made relative to included airfare shown as provided in the detailed brochure.  Detailed brochures of these all-inclusively priced experiences are available in our Electronic Catalog that opens when you click here or on the links in the right hand column of this page..  Once open you can review brief descriptions of these special opportunities and open a detailed brochure of each by clicking on the highlighted departure name.

From the inventory of these special personally escorted and value-added group one-of-a-kind and"all-inclusively" priced experiences that open for your review when you open the link in the preceding paragraph we select a limited number to especially "feature" to the "Hornet Nation".  These are shown in the right hand column of this page with a detailed brochure opening when you click on the photo icon link of the departure appearing in that column.

Special "Hornet" Nation Savings are present and extend to your entire travel party.  This is true for the "special" selections in the right hand column "plus" all additional "FEATURE" TRAVEL experiences appearing in the electronic catalog that opens for you.  You also support the Alumni Association when you take advantage of this program

We urge you to compare our special "FEATURE" TRAVEL programs with programs offered by other companies.  When you do, we are confident you will see the very real value and quality that are present; and "feature" included experiences not normally resent on other programs. 

Pillar #2 - Hornet Nation Independent "AS YOU LIKE IT" TRAVEL Program

This program provides unbeatable benefits for the leisure vacation and cruise travelers that prefer something other than one of our "FEATURE" TRAVEL or "PRIVATE LABEL" TRAVEL experiences.  Every departure of every quality travel company and cruise line (including all their special incentives) are available for your selection.  Individuals and couples traveling alone, families traveling together, and a small groups of friends traveling together, etc. that prefer more freedom to do "as they like" will particularly benefit from this program.  So will those of you who prefer a personally escorted experience, but desire it to be something other than one of our "feature" departures.   With "AS YOU LIKE IT" TRAVEL you are "guaranteed" the best price for what you desire to do.  And, you have unlimited selection and comparison capabilities, assuring that you receive exactly that which you decide is best for you.

The ESU ELECTRONIC BROCHURE RACK is one of many "no cost" benefits you enjoy with this program. There are almost unlimited opportunities for you to compare travel itineraries and prices with our special "AS YOU LIKE IT" TRAVEL program.   If you will click here you will be taken to a special ESU ELECTRONIC BROCHURE RACK containing approximately 30 separate racks of more than 600 travel brochures (just a start - there are many more available to you with this program). You will be able to electronically turn the pages of each of the brochures if you like, just as you do when you are holding a brochure in your hand. 

Just like with "FEATURE" TRAVEL, special "Hornet" Nation Savings are present and extend to your entire travel party and you are able to take advantage of any special promotions and/or perks that may be provided by the travel company for the travels you select..  You also are supporting the Alumni Association with this wide-ranging program of travel opportunities..

Pillar #3 - Hornet Nation "PRIVATE LABEL" TRAVEL Program:

These are exceptional travel opportunities, such as a tour personally hosted by the University President or other outstanding representative of the University, that are designed especially to appeal to those members of the "Hornet Nation" especially interested in this type of unique travel experience.  They are special in nature and limited in number.  You will be advised when these unique opportunities are available.

Important: Truly, with our "Three Pillars" of specially created travel programs, there is something for every travel desire, every budget, and every age.  You pay nothing extra for the professional travel services provided on any of these programs, you can enjoy unlimited comparisons before you reserve, and you receive unmatched personal service before, during and after  your travels.  

Created in cooperation with Please Go Away™ Vacations, a 57-year "plus" travel industry veteran organization located in Kansas with a business credo of "Small Town Caring - Worldwide - Since 1966," our growing travel programs includes multiple outstanding  savings and special perks that benefit alumni members, as well as employees and friends of the University.  When utilized, the Alumni Association also benefits with added financial support for our programs.

We look forward to 'going away' with you and your fellow Hornets soon.  Watch for new opportunities soon!
