THE WAVES lap gently at the shore as you sink your toes into the warm, sun-kissed sand. A soft ocean breeze carries the smell of salt and coconut sunscreen, blending with the distant, delighted squeals of children building sandcastles nearby. With a chilled drink in hand and the lulling sounds of the surf filling your ears, you lean back into your chair, completely at ease. The worries of daily life have melted away, replaced by the pure bliss of relaxation. This, you think to yourself, is exactly what a vacation should feel like.
The best part is you didn’t have to stress over a single detail because Misty Weaver of Vacation Countdown Travel had it all covered.
Weaver is a go-to travel advisor in the community who makes dream vacations a reality with her personalized, full-service travel planning. If you’re looking to bask in the sun on a Caribbean beach or retreat to a cozy mountain cabin, she ensures every step of the journey is smooth sailing, from booking flights and resorts to handling excursions and transfers.
The professional excursionist’s love for travel and experiences using travel advisors led her to learn more about the travel industry. She then earned her certifications and officially launched Vacation Countdown Travel in November 2015.
At first, she ran the business from her kitchen table, but she soon expanded to an office in Manchester’s square and then a location in Powers Plaza. Today, she operates from a home office, which allows her to invest even more time in organizing unforgettable experiences for her clients.
Her knack for education, planning, and logistics shows up in the well-rounded, hassle-free resort experiences she creates.
“I consider myself an all-inclusive resort specialist. That means I’ve researched all the resorts, and I try to match my clients with the best vacation style for them.”

The planning and follow-ups don’t stop once the trip is booked. Weaver takes care of her clients from departure to return, remaining available 24/7 while they’re on vacation.
“I service every reservation, making sure that their confirmations are in place, every aspect of the vacation is logistically taken care of, and that they have all that they need,” she shared.
“I’ve built relationships with resort sales managers, so I can reach out and arrange special touches like a little surprise for a child’s first trip or extra care for a honeymoon couple.”
In addition to resort vacations, Weaver has expanded her services to include unique group travel experiences. Weaver is hosting her new Escorted Tour for a Spotlight in Tuscany from April 29 to May 7, 2026.
Picture yourself strolling through the cobbled streets of Florence, marveling at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and soaking in the beauty of Lucca and Siena. With a thoughtfully designed itinerary, a single hotel stay, and exciting day trips, this escorted tour through Tuscany combines adventure with ease.
Recognizing the growing trend of honeymoon registries, Weaver has also launched a new service to make gifting experiences easier for wedding guests.
“My honeymoon clients can have a safe and quick way to share with their wedding guests a personalized link for their honeymoon fund. Their guests can make donations toward their honeymoon, and they’ll get a personalized link that’s easy and secure.”
If you ask Weaver about her favorite destination, she’ll answer: “Jamaica. I’ve been there numerous times, and it’s just breathtaking. But honestly, I’m just as happy in the mountains as I am on the beach.”
As spring fades into summer, there’s no better time to plan that much-needed getaway. Whether it’s a beachside escape, a European adventure, or a cozy mountain retreat, Weaver is ready to make it happen. Everyone deserves a vacation where they can sit back, relax, and simply enjoy the moment — just like you are right now. GN
