Hi Chuck,

You booked a trip for me and my wife for last May to Maui for our Honeymoon. We had such a great time we are just toying with the option of going back for a week in late sept or early Oct. Any way for you to price a trip for us to Maui staying on Kanapalli beach again for departing Sept. 26 and returning Oct 2. We loved the Hyatt but opn to anything nice and affordable. We would be leaving from Columbus Ohio and will need a car. Nothing special on the car as we just used it to get to and from the airport.

Thank you,
Brian R.

Connie,

Just got back to the office this morning. I didn't take a computer on the trip, first time that I have checked email. The Sheraton was nice. We had an ocean view room on the 10th floor that looked directly at Diamond Head. Weather was good, a little windy, but warm. Did three dives, ate a nice dinner every night, and only got lost a couple of times. It was a great trip, just not long enough. The return flight last night was a little behind schedule, pulled into the driveway at 1:05 AM, a bit tired this morning. And yes, we did have adjoining rooms.

Thanks as always for great travel arrangments.

Hi Connie

We just returned and I wanted to let you know how incredible our weekend was for all of us. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of this package with everything from flight, to shuttle service, to tickets at guest booth etc. For our first time using a true vacation package, we would say that we would do it again and we will certainly forward your name and contact information to our friends interested in traveling.
Thanks again for your time and patience with us first timers!

David and I had such a great time in Vegas. You absolutely know how to pick your hotels! The Signature Suites was fantastic! The room was beautiful. The giant spa bathtub was amazing, hotel security and service was excellent. The show at the MGM Grand, “KA,” was like nothing we have ever seen! We would go back in a heartbeat just to stay at the same hotel and see “KA” again. We don’t gamble, but we had blast in Las Vegas anyhow! Thanks again for such great memories. We will never trust our travel plans to anyone but you.

Hey again!

We haven't forgot about you! We have been busy getting caught up with the business (since our month off work and Cruise to Alaska!) and even as I type we are scheduled to go back out again for the week ahead, and then back in Sept for the birth of our grand-son!

The Cruise details worked out flawless! The rooms were, how do I say this? HEAVENLY!!! It was SO nice to not have to join the crowds outside on deck all the time, but rather we watched Alaska go by right outside our room! The food was great, the service was INCREDIBLE, and we'll even let you take credit for the PHENOMENAL weather we had every day but one! ha* All we kept hearing from the on-board Park and/or Forest Service site-guides was "We hardly ever see this and this and that and that....." We got to see it all!

Alice and Will handled the sea and waves 'pretty good', though the open water day gave them both a little grief going up, though not bad on the way south. Jeannie did great all the way up AND back. I use to commercial salmon fish, so open water is a non-issue for me...

The only "weather" we had was at Juneau, and that wasn't bad at all because it only affected our walk from the bus to the visitor center at the Glacier. So, to put it in a nut-shell, all our on-shore events were fun, interesting and great memory makers! We were met on-time, every time, by the tour operators, and each day on shore was spent without any apprehension about going out or getting back in time. In fact, we always seemed to have plenty of time on both ends, even if it didn't look like it on paper, as some of the on-shore excursions appeared to leave right as the ship pulled in to dock. That just wasn't the case. It was a very relaxing, friendly time with all involved.

We have to settle down now and finish out our other vision by working a lot and finishing up the ranch projects and spending time with our new grand-child, so there are no Cruises in our, nor Will and Jeannie's, near future. But, if anyone asks us about a travel agent? We will be HIGHLY recommending YOU while regaling them with stories of how you transformed what would have been a so-so Cruise (had we not met you), into a very financially worthwhile Dream Cruise! In a sense, it was perfect!

Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!!

Hi Connie

Hey Chuck we just walked in. I saw your recent e-mail and thought I drop
you a note. Poipu was absolutely all you said it was. We upgraded to
Poipu Kai which I highly recommend as the ocean view is spectacular.
Weather was great, no problem with reservations,rental car,or
accomodations. Definitely a 5 star rating from us! I have a few
pictures but will need to sort through them before I send any. We did
the National Botanical Garden Tour which I recommend and I have a great
shot of Queen Emma's beach you may not have. Thanks again for setting
this memorable 60th birthday outing up for us.

Thanks again for the great travel planning, Connie -- everything was wonderful. We snorkeled, visited Monkey River, climbed Mayan Temples, ate wonderful food and had a marvelous time. Got home late last night and have been doing laundry and opening mail all day. Sigh. I'm not ready for the real world yet.

See you next week,

Connie,

Just spoke to my son Gordon in Hawaii. He and the rest of the kids are amazed what you've set them up with. You are their hero.
Just got a call and they were getting ready to head off to the beach. They're loving it. Hotel's great, view is great, weather's great, Hawaii's great, .... you get the idea.

I just wanted to pass on how much fun they're having and how much they like what you set up.
You were a big difference in making this a great trip for the kids.
Thanks for all you've done.

I really want to thank you for being so caring. I know you are busy and yet you still find time to look out for us. That is very impressive. I have told many people that I know just how impressed we have been with you and your wife. Of course, it goes without saying, that when we want to go anywhere, we will talk with you first. Thank you very, very much.

I just wanted to thank you for your service. I've never used a travel agent before and was not sure how it would work out. You did a wonderful job, it all went so smoothly. We saw some of our family before we left that had been talking with you as well about planning a trip. I can't wait to call Gene and Gail and I'll tell them what a great job you did. We will be back ! We travel a lot and I'm so happy to have found a travel agent.
Thank you so much,
