ANNIVERSARY HAWAIIAN GETAWAY

A SPECIAL COUPLE JUST RETURNED FROM CELEBRATING THEIR 5TH WEDDDING ANNIVERSARY IN HONOLULU AND IN MAUI

Thank you for the great photos and review Kristen and Jed - Happy Anniversary!!

Hi Denise!

Hawaii was beautiful and the weather was amazing!  Here's some info that may be helpful 

for future clients:

ROYAL HAWAIIAN

Royal Hawaiian: best beach in Honolulu.  It is a very urban area so many of the hotels were 

not even on the beach.  Pool was teeny tiny, but beach was great.  Our room was in the 

tower so much better views, and there was access to complimentary happy hour (beer, 

wine, small appetizers) and breakfast buffet (fruit, pastries, coffee, and juice) every day.  

Also, it connected to the Royal Hawaiian shopping center so very close proximity to mall 

and central strip of very high-end shops.  Great location.  I don't really recommend renting a car 

here because the traffic is bad and the city would be difficult to navigate for tourists.  We 

ended up booking our Pearl Harbor tour through a company we found on Trip Adviser.  It was 

like $95 a person and it included transportation to and from, timed tickets for the Arizona

 memorial and USS Missouri ship.  Then it took us to the Punchbowl Veterans National 

Cemetery and about an hour tour through downtown.  The driver narrated during the drive.  

Well worth the money.

THE WESTIN MAUI RESORT & SPA

The Westin in Maui: best hotel in that area of Maui (really just excluding Wailea).  Pool area was

 huge, had areas for kids and adults-only.  You could also sit at the edge of the pool deck 

facing the beach (best of both worlds).  Beach was also amazing, swimming and surfing there 

everyday.  They also had excursion boats picking up right at our beach.  It was nice to have the 

breakfast buffet included (otherwise $28 for adults and $14 for children).  Restaurant was nice, 

also had a snack shack by the pool for casual lunch items.  Definitely want a rental car in Maui 

so you can tour the island yourself, go where you want at your own pace 

(driving was really easy there).

All in all, Hawaii is awesome (but be prepared to spend).  Baggage fees x 3, resort fees at Westin 

(thank goodness self-parking was included), rental car taxes and fees, and meals at hotels and

 elsewhere were generally $15-40 a plate.

Thanks for arranging the trip!

Kristin

HONOLULU FAMILY VACATION

THIS WONDERFUL LADY TOOK HER SON AND GRANDCHILDREN TO HONOLULU FOR A SPECIAL FAMILY VACATION!

What a great vacation.  Everything went smooth, going out two of us even got pre-check  through 

security and all of us got pre-check coming home.  We saw no problems getting through security 

in St. Louis or in Honolulu.

Waikiki Beach Tower

Hawaii was everything we hoped it would be, perfect 

weather, plenty of sunshine and great beaches.  Waikiki 

was not as crowded as we thought it might be which 

was great for us.  Of course there was all types of 

sunbathers but I was somewhat surprised that there was 

not a whole lot of skimpy suits.  Most people seemed 

to be more modest.  The view from the condo was 

fabulous and even though it was across the street, 

you just walked out, pushed the walk  button and crossed

the street and you were at the beach.

                                                                                                         

Waikiki Beach Tower view

Our condo was the best, clean and stocked with eating and cooking utensils. They cleaned and made sure we had fresh towels each day.  The staff was very helpful with any info we needed.  They can book trips for you but again it was so nice to have that done ahead.  There was a grocery store within walking distance that was reasonable so we were able to stock up.   

Pearl Harbor was a must, very moving and a good history 

lesson for the young.  I highly recommend pre booking 

the trip through you.  They sell out of tickets by noon 

most days and the lines are long if you do this on your own.  

Also you are not allowed to take any bags onto the grounds unless it is see through and then you have to go through security and wait for a ranger to come check your bag.  Cameras and phones and wallets that will fit in your pocket can go in.  They do have a place where you can check your bags for a fee.                                                                                                    

Arizona Memoria

I recommend that you check into the trolley system when you get there.  It does cost but you can get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time and I would also recommend that you buy a three or five day pass.  We were able to take the Blue line up the coast to Sandy Beach with stops along 

the way for photos. The green line took us up and into Diamond head creator and the pink line  takes you around town to any restaurants and shops.  A two day ticket was $45 and a five day was $65.  You can ride all day as many time as you want on any of these lines.

Do not and I repeat do not take many clothes.  You do not need them  We over packed, we could

have taken a third of what we did.

The Stadium Swap meet is a must.  The hotel got us a van to and from the meet that was $12

 person round trip and it was a $1 to get in.  Anything and everything you could buy in Honolulu 

was at least half the price and even less.  We were going to stay two hours and decided to do four

and could have done the 6 hours.  It is open on Wed, Sat and Sundays.

 Thanks for making all of this easy and enjoyable. 

Hope to be back in touch with you in about 

three years for another trip back.

IBEROSTAR GRAND HOTEL PARAISO

These special clients were celebrating a birthday at the IBEROSTAR GRAND HOTEL PARAISO in the Riviera Maya last week.

The iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso was not full and it was great. We liked the buffets best, I liked the Italian Restaurant very much.  Absolutely loved the Grand would go back in a heartbeat. Really enjoyed it. Kinda hot for golf but cooler than STL lol. I really liked the same time zone and only 3 hr flight. I forgot the beach bag. It was still in STL and it would have been very handy to have. 

Thanks Linda
