Testimonials

“The personalized experience you get is like none other they take their time with you and this is especially important for the older generation who needs a little more help with planning and paperwork. I can call, text, or email and always get a quick response. Journey’s INC. has assisted me on various trips and each time I felt like I was working with family. My representative Kim Goldstein is amazing no one I have ever worked with can compare to her professionalism and her kindness if you want to travel this is the way to go.”

“ Loved Live Aqua in Cancun.  It was a great resort with lots of fun things to do and lots of restaurants to choose from.  Krissy at Journeys was so helpful and patient with all my calls and emails and finding out things we need to know.  I highly recommend her and Journeys Inc.”

“ My kids and I had another amazing trip to the Dominican Republic staying at the Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana all thanks to Krissy and Kim at Journeys Travel.  They were helpful from the initial planning of the trip to the end.  When I am looking to travel somewhere like the Caribbean, the first call I make is to Journeys.”

“Journeys is excellent. Anna Swenson is top notch. She has planned many trips for our family. Most recently was a Disney cruise. It was a wonderful trip and the concierge experience was amazing.”

-Rebecca C.

“ Kim Goldstein and Journeys travel agency are perfect for getting you the vacation you need!!!!! Traveling these days can be confusing and a headache, they have everything lined up, all the websites you need for all the documents you need which makes our travel easier!! Our whole trip was amazing. We had a great time from the shuttle service to the resort, Secrets The Vine Mexico!!! This is our third time using Journeys travel agency and Kim Goldstein and she did not disappoint. This will be our go to for any future plans for vacation!! “

-Michael C.

“ Anna and her team were wonderful to work with!  She was extremely helpful, responsive and so patient with a first-time cruiser when I had all kinds of questions.  Our vacation was a success and I will definitely trust them with our next adventure!”

“ Krissy and Kim made planning our honeymoon the most fantastic experience ever! I knew with wedding planning that I didn’t want planning our trip added to my plate but I also have trouble not being in control of all of the details. They let me ask all the questions I needed, which surprisingly weren’t that many as they were on top of providing information and the next steps of the process, each step of the way. We had a smooth travel experience and received excellent customer service from Journeys. We will definitely use them again and I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a travel agent!”

-Kristina J.

“ Our family of 15 people, ages 7 to 72; with the help of Anna Swenson at Journeys Inc. had the best vacation! The all inclusive resort , Hotel Xcaret in Mexico was perfect. Anna helped us with all the paperwork required and kept us on schedule. We have used Anna for a Disney trip and will use her again soon.”

“ Journeys Inc. is one of the best companies we’ve ever used the representative name is Kim and she treated my family and I guess as if they were her family the resort she chose for us was called excellent oyster Bay dis RESORT was one of the best we’ve ever been in you can’t get better customer service than them she chose everything to make sure that we were safe and taken care of the staff at oyster Bay make sure that that is just what happened they have wonderful customer service if you don’t believe me look at the pictures and tell me what you think.”

“ 10/10 highly recommend! Krissy was so responsive to me. She never misses an email and not only that she was so so patient! She had a vast knowledge of all things resort. From beginning to end it has been smooth and easy. The best part of the process were the airport instructions to the hotel transfer. Had she not given us such great advice I would have been completely overwhelmed.”

REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS

“Absolutely EVERYTHING about this trip was perfect: itinerary, food, lodgings, trip leaders, educational opportunities. A perfect example of why Wilderness Travel will always be our first choice when planning adventures.”

“We were taught so much beyond the usual viewpoint given to a tourist that I felt I had a much deeper understanding of the culture and history than I would have if traveling with a different company.”

“An incredible variety of activities was packed into the trip, yet we never felt rushed. It would be impossible to do what we did in the same period of time without the expertise of WT guides.”

“I have dreamed of taking this trip for years. Truly this journey exceeded my expectations on all fronts. The wildlife, terrain, people, staff and fellow trip mates made it an adventure to always treasure. I feel blessed and fortunate. Thank you Wilderness Travel. You have my complete confidence.”

“Because of our Trek Leader’s vast experience in the area, we used several trails that aren’t known to many trekkers and we were invited into Sherpa homes, which was wonderful. I had been dreaming of this trip for 30 years and now those dreams are fulfilled.”

“Couldn’t have asked for a more interesting trip and two outstanding guides, accommodations, and meals. This was our fourth trip with Wilderness Travel and one of the best (although we say that about every trip we have been on!)”

“I love Wilderness Travel! You select the best guides, a variety of special places to stay, the food is always plentiful and cultural, and the adventure is top drawer! Thank you for offering trips that expand one’s knowledge of other cultures while making it enjoyable and fun.”

“We are still on a high a month after the trip, having had wonderful guides, camp crew, co-travelers, and the right mix of comfort and authentic experience.”

“WOW! This was an extraordinary trip. It was meticulously planned, but allowed for many spontaneous interactions and delightful surprises. Another WT success story.”

“This was my first trip to India and I cannot imagine a better introduction. Because of the care with which the trip had been planned and organized, I was able to relax, enjoy, and try to fully absorb the experience without spending even a moment concerned about the quotidian details of the trip. What a luxury.”

“Everyone was so thorough and helpful. It was like being whisked around on a magic carpet. Doors opened, every wish fulfilled, amazing service!”

“It was an indescribable, life-affirming experience that I will always cherish. In particular, I wanted to commend your selection of Trip Leaders. Their skill, thoughtfulness, and dedication made the entire trip seem effortless even though the challenge was great.”

Journeys reaffirmed my faith in how people solve problems while traveling. They were the best in doing this plus showing us Africa. After traveling all over the world, I put my trust in Journeys International to show me everything from small things, wildlife, people, plant life to our sacred planet. Gloria W.

This virtual trip was exciting and educational, and I could do it from the comfort of my own home. The interactive pages made it tangible and real. It was clear that TONS of thought had gone into all of it. I appreciate all of the work that Journeys put into it to make it memorable and interesting. This was my favorite week of the pandemic. Judie L.

My trip to Antarctica was by far one of the most incredible trips I have ever taken and certainly the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Journeys ensured that my trip to was well organized and scheduled. The entire voyage was outstanding! I greatly appreciated what Journeys did to ensure a successful and unforgettable adventure...and a profoundly beautiful journey and adventure it was! Jeffrey A.

Journeys is a joy. They planned an independent itinerary for us which met and exceeded every expectation We wanted to experience the natural world of Japan and to meet people beyond hotels and food emporiums. Journeys is a gem and delivered a jewel of a trip. Arigotoghizimas! Paul K.

My trip to Everest Base Camp with Journeys was everything I had hoped. The trip was planned, and yet provided a lot of freedom. Depending on the mental and physical condition and weather, we would determine the route, pace and distance for each day. Journeys is all about its customers. Randy M.

Reviews & Recommendations

Craig is wonderful to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of travel. He really listens to your needs and concerns. He ensures your travels are memorable.

Loretta Jahsi

Craig did a spectacular job of planning our trip to Italy. He had every detail of the trip planned. Because he did such a great job we had a stress-free vacation.

Scott Hickman

Trip of a lifetime - 12 days in Germany and France. It was planned perfectly and in hotels that could not be beat for their amenities and location. They were very central to the thoughts we had in mind for activities. The transfers were spot-on as well (very important). Tours and tour guides were very informative and fun! Craig also had tips and advice that came in very handy. We will absolutely seek out Craig for our next trip.

Randy Jones

Craig worked with us on our first trip outside the U.S. He came recommended by a friend. He worked through the details of our trip and helped allay my fears of what could go wrong. We had a wonderful trip.

FOR INSPIRED TRAVELERS

Meet Your Luxury Wellness Travel Agent!

Hi, I’m Christy, a Luxury Travel Advisor and founder of Soulful Journeys Travel™. Soulful Journeys Travel is a specialized travel agency for solo women's travel and group retreats that offers customized travel planning to destinations around the world.

I love to design travel experiences that reconnect you to your own sense of wonder. We all have a lightness within us, an inner child who yearns to explore fearlessly and love without hesitation. Too often, though, we don’t let our light shine — we get bogged down with day-to- day details, overwhelmed by the endless to-do lists at work, or distracted by every “ping” our smart phones emit.

But here’s the good news: Travel can change that. When you work with an experienced travel agent that specializes in luxury wellness and intentionally- designed travel experiences, you are free to reconnect with the land, with your loved ones, and — above all — with yourself.

Travel That Lifts Your Spirit & Sets Your Soul on Fire

Do you yearn for a Wellness vacation beyond the ordinary, one that engages the mind, relaxes the body, and enlivens the soul?

Are you ready for a travel experience that ignites all of your senses — from the heady aromas of a spice market to the loosening of limbs during a sunrise yoga session?

Do you want to see first hand all the beauty this world has to offer … our group and solo travel company can help make your experience beautiful and leave you with lasting memories for years to come.

You Deserve an Amazing Vacation

Your vacation is the most important week of the year. It’s your opportunity to unplug from the rat race. rekindle love. build lasting memories. expand your borders.

Your vacation is too important to DIY. It deserves the attention of an experienced Vacation Designer.

First-Hand Experience

We’ve been there and done that. We’ve discovered what should be on the “must do” list and what should be avoided And we love sharing our experiences with clients!

Destination Expertise

We spend hours exploring places we haven’t yet visited or seen with our own eyes through continuing education courses and extensive independent research.

Industry Connections

We cultivate relationships with trusted resorts and travel suppliers. We can call, email, or text our contacts when clients have unique questions or special needs.

Single Point For Support

We coordinate details for your entire trip. There’s no need to call a toll-free number and talk to a different customer service agent every time you have questions. One call does it all!

Delightful Vacations Designed Just For You

You shouldn’t have to spend valuable time wading through an overload of online reviews to determine the best choices for your vacation.

You need assurance that your vacation will provide the experience you truly want.

You want your vacation to provide the most value for your time and money.

The Joyful Journeys® Vacation Design Plan

We follow a 5 step plan to deliver the vacation of your dreams..

Step 1: We listen to you.

A complimentary vacation consultation allows us to understand your vacation expectations. We discuss special needs that must be considered for the comfort of your family and experiences that will help you realize the most value for your time and money.

If, at the conclusion of the complimentary consultation, you are ready to enlist the ongoing services and expertise of Joyful Journeys, a Vacation Design Fee is collected and the real planning begins!

Step 2: We go to work.

Your Vacation Designer will create a customized travel proposal that meets your needs and fulfills your wishlist.

Step 3: We ask for feedback.

You tell us what you love about the proposal and what you want to change. Your Vacation Designer tweaks the proposal to perfection.

Step 4: You relax.

Your Vacation Designer takes care of all of the itinerary details and manages changes that may arise before travel. We work only with suppliers we trust to deliver the quality experiences you deserve.

Step 5: You travel with full confidence!

Your Vacation Designer will provide complete travel documents and a pre-departure check-up where you may ask all your lingering questions. Plus, your Joyful Journeys Vacation Designer is just a phone call or email away should you need assistance while traveling!

Vacation Design Fee

Joyful Journeys® creates vacations that are exceptional, memorable, inspiring, and designed just for you. The process requires knowledge and expertise acquired through education and personal experience. It also demands a considerable commitment of time and effort for research of destinations, accommodations, transportation, tours and excursions, special needs, and travel trends specific to your trip.

At Joyful Journeys, we work for YOU, not for the travel supplier. We tailor vacation packages filled with experiences that make YOU happy, not experiences that will garner supplier favors for the agency or individual Vacation Designers. We provide expertise, management of details, and personalized support from initial consultation to your safe return home… instant dividends on your investment of both finances and valuable vacation time.

You may ask, “Don’t you get paid on commission?” While it’s common for suppliers to pay a commission for travel advisor bookings, not all suppliers follow that practice … and some that do pay poorly. Commissions are paid after travel, meaning travel advisors receive zero compensation from suppliers for time and effort put into research that doesn’t result in a traveled booking.

We desire to lavish our attention and expertise on clients who value us as much as we value them. Payment of the Vacation Design Fee confirms that you are committed to the success of your vacation and to a long-term relationship with your Vacation Designer. The Vacation Design Fee allows your Vacation Designer to focus on your amazing vacation!

Value begins from the moment we accept your project, and we guarantee you will receive plenty of bang for your Vacation Design Fee buck!

Joyful Journeys provides “no worries” travel. They take care of every detail from start to finish. My ideas for a fun holiday are transformed into a perfect vacation by a thoughtful and thorough Vacation Designer!

You can expect a few things when you work with Joy by Journey-prompt responses, an eagle eye for detail, and a customized approach to your specific travel style.  We take the time to answer your questions and listen to your ideas before making expert recommendations that fit your budget.

In the internet age, you can certainly book on your own.  But Googling your way to a vacation is an overwhelming experience and a recipe for dissatisfaction.  We have the relationships with suppliers and destination experience to ensure your satisfaction.

What you may not realize is that the cost of using a travel agency is built into the cost of a tour, cruise, all-inclusive resort, hotel, rental car, and even trip insurance.  So, in effect, you are paying for a travel advisor whether you use one or not.  And, online booking platforms are agencies (think big-box stores) just without personalized service.  You deserve more than that!

Our favorite destinations

Our honeymoon in Italy was the vacation of a lifetime!  From floating around Venetian canals to sipping wine in Tuscany, Italy was the perfect place to begin our life together.

Egypt may not be on the top of everyone's bucket list but it should!  I felt the 5,000 year legacy of the pharaohs as I explored the Pyramids of Giza, cruised down the Nile, and visited King Tut's tomb. 

 Cruising is a perfect way to explore Alaska’s wild coastal plains, towering snow-capped mountains, and glacier-rimmed fjords.

Turkey is my all-time favorite destination.  Volcanic landscapes, ancient, sunken cities, and 4,000 years of rich culture and traditions, Turkey is an incredible destination where the cultures of two continents collide.  

China is positively massive by every conventional measure.  The diversity of hiking the Great Wall to exploring the forbidden city to meeting the Terra-Cotta Warriors was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A trip to New York is all about the food.  This is my favorite restaurant, Don Peppe's, in Jamaica Queens. 

Greece is the perfect destination for so many reasons; it's stunning landscapes, ancient history, vibrant culture, but the most lasting impression it made on me was for its food.  Oh my, the food in Greece is an experience unto itself.

 When I visited Hungary, I was awestruck by the stunning architecture of the Parliament building in Budapest. Standing on the banks of the Danube River, its grandeur and intricate details left me in complete admiration of this magnificent symbol of Hungarian history and democracy. 

I absolutely love Nashville. From its vibrant music scene on Broadway to the mouthwatering barbecue joints and the rich history of the Ryman Auditorium, there's something for everyone in this lively city.

How I learned to love the slow route home to Ireland

Journeys are about so much more than getting from A to B, as our writer found when he ditched flying for the train and ferry between Dublin and London

T here’s always a moment in the journey from Dublin to London – which I make every month or two, taking the land-and-sea route via Holyhead instead of flying – when I stop what I’m doing – reading or writing or chatting to the person next to me – and think: you don’t get to enjoy this from 40,000ft.

Sometimes it’s at the Britannia Bridge in north Wales. As the train crosses the Menai Strait from Anglesey I can see, off to my right, a concrete statue of Lord Nelson keeping a lonely watch from the shore, and further upriver the grounds of Plas Newydd country house sweeping down to the water. To the left, on a tiny island with a curved jetty, stand two handsome whitewashed houses that will one day disappear beneath the rising sea levels but for now are holding out against the elements.

I’ll pause again as the train trundles past Conwy, with its hulking medieval castle and absurdly pretty waterfront, home to the smallest house in Britain, and later still as we move along the coast beyond Colwyn Bay, and legions of offshore wind turbines can be glimpsed through the haze.

On the return journey, as the ferry heads into Dublin Bay, I’ll cast an eye at Howth Head as it rises up to greet us, followed by the crimson lighthouse at the end of the Great South Wall and the looming red and white chimneys beyond – the unmistakable sign that we’re about to dock in the Irish capital.

People often ask me why I choose to travel between Dublin and London by ferry and rail instead of flying, which is considerably less time-consuming. I’ll respond by talking about the price, or the breezy check-in process with minimal luggage restrictions, or the direct connection into central London, or the carbon emissions, which by one estimate are about 95% lower than going by plane . But the little details – the things you see, the people you meet and the reveries you enter as the journey’s lulling rhythms take hold – matter to me almost more.

When I moved to London in 2002, the idea of taking the slow route home to Dublin didn’t occur to me. Going by air was quick: you can fly city to city in under 90 minutes, though of course you have to factor in the time it takes to get to the airport, clear security, wander through duty-free, wait to board, wait to take off, and go through the associated rigmarole on the other side. And it’s cheap.

Then, about 15 years ago, a friend tipped me off about SailRail, a package that bundled train and Irish Sea ferry tickets into a single fare – connecting not only to London but to any town across Britain with a station. I was dubious about the duration but the price was keen – these days it’s £102.20 return, but back then it was about half that – so I decided to give it a try.

I’ll be honest: I didn’t love SailRailing straight away. Train travel is one of life’s great pleasures but in Britain it can curdle to frustration in the face of delays, cancellations and broken-up routes. It took me a while to work out how to time my journey so I didn’t have to change trains in Crewe and again, 20 minutes later, in Chester. And Holyhead, for all the surrounding beauty of Anglesey, is not a town that makes the heart leap – not, at least, the stretch between the terminal and the ferry dock, which on even the sunniest afternoon feels oppressively grey.

The ships – Irish Ferries and Stena are the two options on the Holyhead-to-Dublin route – can feel dated and a bit tacky, and if you strike out from Dublin on a match day, you have the choice of watching football supporters getting stuck into cooked breakfasts and pints at 8am or joining them. The crossing can be rough, though it would take a serious gale to unsettle one of the bigger boats when its stabilisers are out. (In that kind of weather, I’d rather take my chances on a 50,000-tonne ferry than a dinky commuter plane.)

If you travel with Irish Ferries, which I tend to do, this unfolds within a literary theme park of unparalleled incongruity. The flagship Ulysses is riddled with allusions to James Joyce’s masterwork: you can eat reheated pizza slices (but not pork kidneys) at Boylan’s Brasserie, drink tequila slammers at the Leopold Bloom bar or engage in soft play at the Cyclops family entertainment centre. (The faster ferry, often cancelled if the wind picks up, is ingeniously named the Jonathan Swift.)

Despite – or perhaps because of – these idiosyncrasies, I kept returning for more. For years, I’d SailRail to Dublin and fly back; the journey out of London Euston tends to be smoother, especially if you catch the direct train to Holyhead departing about 9am. But since moving back to Dublin in 2020, I’ve ditched the air option and now actively look forward to my day meandering across the Irish Sea and down through Wales and England. The journey takes eight or nine hours, but without internet to distract me I usually get a solid day’s work done, or at least have time to read and think.

after newsletter promotion

Some distractions are welcome. When the Icelandic volcano eruption grounded European air travel in 2010, I got chatting to two fellow SailRailers on the train out of London. One, delightfully, was the actor who played Gestapo agent Herr Flick in the sitcom ’Allo ’Allo!. The other became a really good friend – and I often thank the ash clouds of Eyjafjallajökull for introducing us.

More recently I’ve fallen into conversation with touring graffiti artists, septuagenarian world travellers and a woman who found God after getting lost in the middle of the Sahara (she prayed for help and a crow appeared to guide her back to safety). Last autumn, when my partner and I took our whippet-saluki over on a morning sailing (pet-friendly cabins are available on Stena) he was lavished with attention by an elderly Traveller couple who told us about similar dogs they’d loved over the years.

The Traveller community uses the ferries a lot, following a route that Irish people with UK connections have taken for centuries. You’ll also encounter plenty of truckers, as well as students, backpackers and people who are averse to flying. What you don’t get a huge number of, among the SailRail contingent, are British tourists. When I mention the package to friends and colleagues in London, few of them have heard of it. And when I tell them the fare, which doesn’t shoot up for last-minute bookings, they’re astonished: £51.10 from London to Holyhead and then on to Dublin by boat? You’re joking, right?

Still, I rarely recommend SailRail without a string of caveats. It isn’t to everyone’s taste. And it could be so much better than it currently is – the rail connections are unreliable and foot passengers on ferries are often treated as afterthoughts. But despite its foibles I’ve come to enjoy the easy pace of the journey and offbeat crowd it throws together. I’ve even developed a fondness for those Joyce allusions.

And I love that long, slow train ride along the north Wales coast, past castles and wind turbines and island houses doomed to vanish beneath the waves. A journey is so much richer and stranger when you travel close to the ground.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

Kievskaya Metro Station

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂

NASA Picks 3 Companies to Help Astronauts Drive Around the Moon

The agency’s future moon buggies will reach speeds of 9.3 miles per hour and will be capable of self-driving.

By Kenneth Chang

NASA will be renting some cool wheels to drive around the moon.

Space agency officials announced on Wednesday that they have hired three companies to come up with preliminary designs for vehicles to take NASA astronauts around the lunar south polar region in the coming years. After the astronauts return to Earth, these vehicles would be able to self-drive around as robotic explorers, similar to NASA’s rovers on Mars.

The self-driving capability would also allow the vehicle to meet the next astronaut mission at a different location.

“Where it will go, there are no roads,” Jacob Bleacher, the chief exploration scientist at NASA, said at a news conference on Wednesday. “Its mobility will fundamentally change our view of the moon.”

The companies are Intuitive Machines of Houston, which in February successfully landed a robotic spacecraft on the moon ; Lunar Outpost of Golden, Colo.; and Venturi Astrolab of Hawthorne, Calif. Only one of the three will actually build a vehicle for NASA and send it to the moon.

NASA had asked for proposals of what it called the lunar terrain vehicle, or L.T.V., that could drive at speeds up to 9.3 miles per hour, travel a dozen miles on a single charge and allow astronauts to drive around for eight hours.

The agency will work with the three companies for a year to further develop their designs. Then NASA will choose one of them for the demonstration phase.

The L.T.V. will not be ready in time for the astronauts of Artemis III, the first landing in NASA’s return-to-the-moon program , which is currently scheduled for 2026 .

The plan is for the L.T.V. to be on the lunar surface ahead of Artemis V, the third astronaut landing that is expected in 2030, said Lara Kearney, manager of the extravehicular activity and human surface mobility program at the NASA Johnson Space Center.

“If they can get there earlier, we’ll take it earlier,” Ms. Kearney said.

The L.T.V. contract will be worth up to $4.6 billion over the next 15 years — five years of development and then a decade of operations on the moon, most of it going to the winner of this competition. But Ms. Kearney said the contracts allow NASA to later finance the development of additional rovers, or allow other companies to compete in the future.

The contract follows NASA’s recent strategy of purchasing services rather than hardware.

In the past, NASA paid aerospace companies to build vehicles that it then owned and operated. That included the Saturn V rocket, the space shuttles and the lunar roving vehicles — popularly known as moon buggies — that astronauts drove on the moon during the last three Apollo missions in 1971 and 1972.

The new approach has proved successful and less expensive for the transportation of cargo and astronauts to the International Space Station. NASA now pays companies, notably Elon Musk’s SpaceX, fixed fees for those services, more akin to plane tickets or FedEx shipments.

For the company chosen to build the L.T.V., the vehicle will remain its property, and that company will be able to rent it to other customers when it is not needed by NASA.

“It’s commercially available for us as a commercial business to sell capacity on that rover,” said Steve Altemus, the chief executive of Intuitive Machines, “and do that for international partners and for other commercial companies and space agencies around the world.”

The competition created alliances between small startups and larger, more established aerospace companies, as well as car companies. The Intuitive Machines team includes Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Michelin, the tire maker. Lunar Outpost added to its team Lockheed Martin, Goodyear and General Motors, which had helped design the Apollo moon buggies.

Astrolab is working with Axiom Space of Houston, which has sent private astronauts to the space station and is building a commercial module to the International Space Station. Astrolab announced last year that it had signed an agreement to send one of its rovers to the moon on a SpaceX Starship rocket as early as 2026. That mission is independent of whether it is selected by NASA, a company spokesman said.

While Lunar Outpost is competing with Intuitive Machines on this contract, it plans to work with the company separately, sending smaller robotic rovers to the moon on the company’s lunar landers.

UConn men's team arrives in Phoenix after flight to Final Four delayed by plane issues

The UConn Huskies ' men's basketball team has soared its way to the NCAA Tournament's Final Four in Phoenix, but the defending champions were grounded Wednesday night in Connecticut due to "mechanical issues."

UConn's flight to Phoenix ahead of their Final Four matchup against Alabama on Saturday was delayed "due to mechanical issues with the original aircraft," the NCAA confirmed Wednesday. The flight, which was originally supposed to depart Connecticut on Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. ET, left at 1:30 a.m. ET and arrived in Phoenix at 5:14 a.m. ET (3:14 a.m. local time).

“Due to mechanical issues with the original aircraft, UConn men’s basketball team is experiencing a delay and is now projected to depart at approximately 11:30 p.m. ET," the NCAA said in a statement obtained by Stadium's Jeff Goodman. "In conjunction with the school and charter airlines, the NCAA worked to develop several options for travel alternatives to Phoenix. We are very disappointed that UConn will arrive later than anticipated and it’s unfortunate the team’s travel experience has been impacted.”

UConn men's basketball coach Dan Hurley told CBS Sports that the team's original chartered flight coming in from Kansas City was significantly delayed with mechanical issues, causing the flight crew to surpass their allowable work hours outlined by the FAA.

UConn has Final Four media availability and practice scheduled on Thursday, but it's not clear if the NCAA will modify the Huskies' schedule to accommodate for the team's late arrival. No. 1 seed UConn is looking to become the first team to win back-to-back championships since the Florida Gators, who won consecutive titles in 2006 and 2007.

The other three Final Four teams have landed in the desert. No. 1 seed Purdue and No. 4 seed Alabama both arrived in Phoenix on Tuesday, while NC State touched down on Wednesday afternoon. NC State vs. Purdue are scheduled to play at 6:09 p.m. ET, followed by UConn and Alabama at 8:39 p.m.
