Sometimes a Travel Agents job is more than just booking your Air

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Here are some photo’s I wanted to share of a customer who booked a Hawaii vacation package with me. This customer needed more than just her Air, Hotel and Transportation done.

Waikiki Sunset on the Beach

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

 
I just recenlty returned from Rochester New York and had a wonderful visit with my Aunty Joan. I live in Hawaii, but have fallen in love with the City of Rochester. It may be that its where my father grew up and where my grandparents and Aunty Joan lived all their lives.So I guess I […]

Airlines Fees

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Aloha Blog Readers,
Everyday I have to quote what airline fees apply to a customer’s booking and it so hard to remember every fee as each airline is different. One airline will charge a fee for the 1st bag checked in and another won’t charge at all. One airline will charge if you want a window […]

My blog today is in honor of all Hawaii visitors who have been affected by Aloha Airlines and ATA Airlines shutting down and leaving them stranded either in Hawaii or their home cities.

Aloha Airlines Direct to Kona

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Aloha Airlines has just added a direct Non-Stop Flight from San Diego California to Kona. This is great news. I get clients that live in San Diego that dislike that they have to either drive up to Los Angeles to take advantage of a lower price flight to Hawaii. The drive is about 2 hours. […]

Hotel Ratings Good and Bad
The other day Hawaii Aloha Travel did a podcast on "trip advisor" and hotel ratings or comments plus other issues.   I wanted to add my comments to it.
 Customer’s will use "trip advisor’s" (anyone you choose) to see how the hotel I quoted them rates (good or bad) and only the negative comments will stand out […]

Best Travel Souvenir?

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

What is your best travel souvenir? It’s your memories from your trip. A box of Macadamia Chocolate will be gone in one sitting (if I was eating it) or last a few days. That Fresh Lei that you got when you arrived at the airport will last a few days too. But Memories are the […]
