About

Based out of Irmo, South Carolina, Straight Away Travel is a travel agency that specializes in honeymoon trips and other relaxing getaways. Owner, Barb Strait's love for new experiences and organizational skills will ensure that you have a safe and sound trip to your dream location. From family vacations to romantic honeymoon escapes, our talented team of travel specialists will work with you to find the perfect backdrop for your once-in-a-lifetime excursion while remaining within budget.

My wife and I always have a motto, “Do the things that make you feel small!” Meaning, take that trip, go on that getaway, book that excursion! Do the things in the world that make you realize just how big the world is and how much there is to do. I love all things Disney, Sandals, seeing new places, and experiencing all the things! My high school sweetheart and I have made it our mission to see all the world has to offer and have slowly marked off more and more places. Where there’s a will there’s a way, and I know the way to ensure you have a great and stress-free vacation.

Experience, knowledge & attention to detail

Zak has planned two amazing trips for my family. His attention to detail is second to none and both trips were full of memories that will last a lifetime. He has traveled to so many places and has first hand experience with different locations and resorts that his knowledge is at an expertise level. Zak is very personable and feels like a best buddy instantly. He is truly passionate about traveling and designing the best trip for his clients. One of the biggest reasons we were so grateful to him was the fact that he spent over 40 hours on hold to get our trip perfect! Talk about dedication!! Can’t recommend him enough!!!
