A true Hawa
iian Experience while driving on O’ahu
Today Yaling and I had the great fortune to be joined by Denise Moreland, the producer of Tour Talk Oahu, a self guided driving tour on Compact Disc . All you need to do is put the CD in the player of your rental car and follow along! The wonderful thing about these CD’s is that the focus is on the rich cultural history of Hawaii and includes site information, easy to follow directions and great maps. This is a real learning experience which is a lot of fun at the same time. Our all-inclusive customers who get a car receive TourTalk Oahu as part of their package. But anyone can get their own copy by going to her website www.tourtalkhawaii.com .
We also go over some great packages that have been booked by new customers and welcome them to our Ohana (family) and thank the agents that booked them.
