About me

I am a graduate of Harding University and owner of RLX Travel Group, LLC. In addition, I'm a proud U.S. veteran and have been married for 30 years to my husband, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces soldier. The military afforded my family many opportunities to travel and I developed a desire to see the world! Several years ago, my husband and I decided to make major changes in our lifestyle. We sold our home and personal belongings, purchased a tour bus and toured the United States for a couple of years. While on the road, we often parked the bus at the nearest airport and jumped on a cruise ship for a change of pace! One cruise highlight was the 26-Day Transatlantic and British Isle Cruise we were able to experience. Amazing! In order to share our dream of travel, we decided to open a travel agency to help others experience the joy and excitement we've seen firsthand.

Why I love my job

I love the challenge of creating the perfect cruise or land vacation for my clients! The key is a great consultation and follow up to ensure I know as much as I can about my client's preferences.

Favorite Destinations

I have several favorite trips. First is the 26-Day Cruise, which was led us across the Atlantic Ocean eventually touring the British Isles. It was absolutely wonderful! Second favorite was my 16-Day Eastern European river cruise, which took me through amazing countries and "off the beaten path" through Bulgaria and wrapping up in Istanbul, Turkey. Third was the amazing trip to Dubai. It was pair of cruises through the Panama Canal. I took the full transit cruise as well as the partial transit cruise and learned so much about the canal. What a fascinating experience!

About my most memorable vacation

Without a doubt, my most memorable vacation was to Dubai last year. I stayed at the fabulous Burj al Arab hotel, walked around Old Town and visited many souks, had a camel ride as the sun set in the desert followed by a private dinner in a tent where the meal was cooked specifically to my liking... and so much more!

Amazing!!
By Joey Ballard on Oct 24, 2017
RLX is by far the best travel agency I have ever used. Melissa Fail was very professional, but also extremely knowledgable about everything I wanted to know. She made the entire process easy for me and had everything I needed in order. From the moment I started planning the trip until I returned home I was stress free. She helped plan my off shore trips based on everything I wanted, and when in those countries everything was smooth without a single incident. I will never use anyone else and I highly recommend Melissa Fail to anyone whether a frequent or non frequent traveler. She truly cares about providing the best trip and experience as if you were a part of her family. I will be a customer of RLX Travel Group for the rest of my life. Joey Ballard

Traveling stress free!
By Michael Blanscet on Mar 31, 2018
WOW - talk about personal support! Melissa Fail with RLX Travel Group did a fantastic job making our vacation stress free and essentially perfect! I have used travel agencies in the past for cruises & short trips with success, but Melissa went above and beyond with the personal support and attention to detail. She really wanted to know what we were looking for to make our very own perfect vacation. From picking the perfect flight times -to finding a magnificent bungalow on the beach -to working some magic with the resort for all those extras you don't get without asking. Thank you so much for making our 20th anniversary vacation in Bermuda so special!

Italy
By Jessica Breske on Apr 13, 2018
Thank You to RLX Travel Group for making my dreams of traveling out of the country for the first time come true. On April 14th my best friend and I left to go on a 7 day trip to Italy. Our trip started in Rome where we got to see the Vatican, Coliseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain etc... in 2days. On day 3 & 4 we went by First class on a Train to Florence we we got to learn more about Michelangelo and see The Statue of David and where he was buried. On our last two days we again traveled First Class on a train to Venice. OMG Venice is gorgeous!!! We got to experience high tide, see Murano Glass and experienced the Doges palace and of course ended our trip with a Gondola ride and a wonderful view of the famous red roof tops. I could go on and on about this amazing Trip but I would just suggest that you go and experience it yourself!!! I’ll post a few pictures after this!
