Barney and his friends enjoy a day of make-believe traveling on land, on water, and in the air! Baby Bop is the designated Travel Agent who leads Barney on a succession of playful adventures. Chip becomes a bus driver, Keesha is the captain of a modern ocean liner, Emily takes to the air with co-pilot BJ, and Danny is the engineer of a train!
