Mayhugh Travel, Inc. is operated by Roy and Bonnie Mayhugh. Developing and marketing Astronomy Vacations is what we do. We are located in Ridgecrest, California, situated in the California "high desert", about 150 miles north of Los Angeles.

Roy has had a life long passion for astronomy. His father gave him his first "real" telescope in 1960. It was a hand made 4 inch acromat refractor. He studied Aerospace Engineering at Northrup Institute of Technology but spent most of his working life in broadcast engineering and management. At first Bonnie "tolerated" Roy's passion but has since learned to enjoy it too.

We're basically astronomy buffs that started selling travel because we couldn't find a travel agent that really understood the particular requirements of mixing astronomy with one's vacation. Our first involvement with selling group travel services in 1989 when the radio stations and newspapers he owned joined forces with a local travel agency to market theme cruises. Over the years, we have developed and/or marketed 25 total eclipse vacations and numerous astronomy related programs.
