What I Plan Best

Specialties built on real experience

Family Travel

From first family vacations to multigenerational reunions, I design trips that work for every age — kid-friendly resorts, easy logistics, and memories that bring everyone closer.

Cruises

Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska, and beyond. I'll match you to the right ship, cabin, and itinerary — and unlock onboard credits and amenities you can't book on your own.

All-Inclusives

Mexico, the Caribbean, and beyond — adults-only romance, family-friendly fun, or wellness escapes where everything from arrival to departure is taken care of.

Why Book With an Advisor

The difference is in the details

Insider Access

Exclusive perks at thousands of hotels — upgrades, daily breakfast, resort credits, and early check-in.

Concierge Planning

Personalized itineraries built around your travel style, pace, and interests — no copy-paste packages.

Real Support

A real person to call before, during, and after your trip — for changes, questions, or unexpected surprises.

No Booking Fees

My services are complimentary — I'm compensated by the travel suppliers, never by you.

About

Hi, I'm Tad Preston.

I'm the founder of Lonestar Getaways and a proud advisor with Fora Travel. From my home base in Texas, I help busy travelers plan trips that feel effortless from the first email to the final flight home.

My specialties are family travel, cruises, and all-inclusive resorts — but my favorite trips are the ones built around the people taking them. I take time to understand how you travel, what matters most, and where you really want to spend your time once you arrive.

Through Fora's partnerships, I can offer perks and pricing you won't find on your own — at thousands of hotels, on every major cruise line, and across the world's top all-inclusive brands. Best of all, my planning services are complimentary.
