Warm Aloha from sunny Maui,
I hope this finds you enjoying the first days of summer! As your travel consultant I like to stay in touch with you to share important travel news and give you firsthand reports of places I’ve visited recently. I do this to help you with suggestions of where to go, and the best values and experiences offered there. I know how time consuming and overwhelming it can be looking at all the website's and information... after awhile they all start to look the same!
I take my role as your personal travel consultant very seriously, using my resources to “shop” for the best resort options for you and best air fares. This saves you time and money and gives you peace of mind that your vacation will be stress free! Consider me your “ travel advocate” both before and during your travel, as I look out for you every step of the way. Having that assurance is critical these days with rapidly changing events. Both ATA and Aloha Airlines went bankrupt suddenly this year, within a few days of each other. Those who booked their flights on their own suffered the loss as they were left stranded and had to buy new tickets on other carriers. I am happy to say that each of my clients who were booked on those airlines were all reassigned and had little to no loss at all..
While airfares have increased due to fuel costs, the resorts in most destinations are being responsive to that so there are some very good specials for the destinations you would want to visit. Many top resorts in Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean, Fiji and Tahiti are offering some great packages. There are good last minute specials too. If you haven't booked your Holiday travel yet you need to do so immediately. Call now to talk about your options.

Fiji has some really great specials! Some resorts are offering all meals free.
Many are offering multiple nights Free! The famous Vatulele Island Resort , now being managed by the renowned Six Senses Resorts has a introductory special they are offering some two for one nights in their Deluxe Beach bures! Stay for 8 and pay for only 4! Unbelievable! Is Vatulele calling you, now is the time to answer!
A new 5 star resort called Taunovo Bay Resort & Spa on the main island in Pacific Harbor features gorgeous private villas and suites, each with private pools and spa tubs. They have a grand opening special now till Dec 23.. a 50% savings on nightly rates! This 1000 acre property is stunning and convenient to lots of activities..white water rafting and world class diving in the famous Beqa lagoon are just a few.
In April, I visited the beautiful Shangri-la Fijian Resort on the Coral Coast in Fiji. Their new Chi Village Spa is the only one like it in the South Pacific. Their signature treatment is called “Dusk till Dawn”. The name gives you a hint of the heavenly experience awaiting you. You enter your private Spa bure at dusk (5:30PM) and have numerous treatments, are fed a delicious meal and then put to bed afterwards in that same private bure. Talk about sweet dreams! You are awakened the next morning and served breakfast on your spa bure deck followed by a one hour facial. I literally floated out after 14 hours of sheer relaxation and treatments. Oh and the same night I stayed, a couple who had gotten married in the beautiful resort wedding chapel were spending their wedding night with a couple’s Dusk till Dawn treatment. How romantic is that?
I spent 10 days in New Zealand and it was wonderful. If you have not yet visited NZ and have the desire to go..call me. Typically, the early months of the year are the best weather. February and March had exceptionally warm and sunny weather this year.

Thank you again for allowing me to help plan your vacations and finding the perfect destinations for you. Hearing about your trips and seeing pictures is such a joy! Did you know that you can receive “referral bonuses” of $100 in travel credit towards your future vacation for each travel package I help your friends book? Be sure they mention you referred them so the credit will be yours!
Mahalo Nui Loa!
