Testimonial about Paul Breen, Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean Specialist: Maui
Paul,
The trip was wonderful. All was great. The Alii condo was huge and very nice. The only negative was strong trade winds blowing the first 6-7 days. We spent equal time touring, on the water, and just relaxing. We highly recommend Captain Steve's Lanai snorkel tour and Valley Isle Excursions' Hana tour. Molokini is overrated. Snorkeling is great right from the beach at Black Rock and Honolua Bay.
Thanks for all you did helping us arrange our trip. I can't think of anything you could have done additionally or differently.

Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Costa Rica and Tahiti Specialist: Maui
Lidia,
Good morning. Thanks for the note. We had a lovely time as usual. We did get the upgraded room...actually we were given the room right next door the last visit so it was great...right on the lawn. Good weather....almost purchased one week Starwood Points membership at the Westin Villas just north of the Sheraton. It's an intersting program. Dollar Rental Car worked just fine.
Saw one whale tail the morning of the last day! Aloha,
Diane
Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Costa Rica and Tahiti Specialist: Maui, Kea Lani Resort
The Fairmont Kea Lani was awesome! We had to call the front desk after the first night because the sleeper sofa sank in the middle (it was only being supported by 3 springs and it was supposed to have 8) and the batteries were dead in the remote control. They took care of both the problems right away. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you for helping us out. Carolyn
Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist: Maui, Kauai
Hi Patricia, I am so sorry I haven't gotten back to you! It has been a worldwind since we have returned! The honeymoon was wonderful! Each island and hotel had it's own charm and energy and we loved that! We had so much fun in Maui walking down to Whalers village- hitting Leilani's and Hula Grill...being right on the beach near black rock- it was definitely more protected and I liked that the board walk was not right in front of our hotel. We rented the little cabanas on the beach a couple of times and just had so much fun taking in the hawaiian life style! The Sheraton in Kauai was just wonderful! We loved this hotel!! Our room was gorgeous and was a stones throw from the ocean and we had a wonderful view of the sunset! We sat on our balcony every night to watch it :) This was definitely the more mellow island but we had fun driving up to the north shore, we did do the helicopter ride, which was amazing and here we just relaxed and tried to there again just take it all in! Thank you so much for all your help, we just had a wonderful time and cannot wait to plan the next hawaiian trip! I will for sure have to get some pictures over to you!! Talk to you soon! Hope your having a good week!

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist: Hawaii
Hi Patricia, Yes, we are home and doing partically nothing. Hawaii was amazing we enjoyed it so much. As always there is a story -- on the second day there -getting ready to go off the ship to our Road to Hana excursion -- I fell and banged myself up -- not a broken arm but a cracked elbow (did not know it was cracked til yesterday after visit to home doctor -- ship Dr did determine that arm was not broken)... this slowed us down in terms of excursions for one day.. I could not use my right arm (Phil did everything!)
The cruise was very good -- calm waters always--met many interesting folks for all over the world. We did upgrade our Outrigger hotel room to Ocean view since we knew we would probably be in room more that orginally expected -- enjoyed watchng the beach "kids" waiting for that tiny wave!
Thanks so much for your working our trip!! --- in the future a trip to Alaska in in our plans...

Testimonials about Nancy Tamagni, Hawaii, Caribbean and Mexico Specialist
Aloha to Nancy Tamagni, WOW!!! What a great vacation!! Doug and I kept saying the whole vacation, THANK YOU NANCY!!! You did the best job making our trip complete! We just couldn't thank you enough Nancy! The leis were just beautiful, they gave them to us when we got there (a little late because of plane problems). Napili Kai was the best!! They were soooo nice, everyone was as nice as they could ever be. They told us we could stay as late as we needed the day we left, I have NEVER had a resort do that without an additional charge at least! And WOW what a beautiful place it was, I will not have a day go by in a VERY long time that I wont think of being there!!! We snorkeled at the resort just like you said and it was great, Doug's first time and he was very surprised at how nice it was. We went whale watching and seen a few tails but that was it, but it was still was great!!! Seen a Mom and baby while driving down the road one day though. Took a private 1 hour helicopter ride, it was the best thing I have EVER done!! The best way to see the island. Nancy I think we did everything, drove from one end of the island to the other, bought a $1.00 flower from the cutest little boy in a small little town (found out later I could have pick one up off the ground at the resort! LOL) We took a hundred pictures and found a store there that is putting a picture that we took (Of a Hana spot!) on canvas and framing it in that rare wood (Koa) that they have in Maui. So we should be getting it in a few weeks, It will Look great in the log home! Oh, and the Luau was GREAT!!! The food was wow, the people were so sweet! Nancy I could just go on and on about what a great time Doug and I had!! We put the house up for sale Thursday and as of today 3 people have come to see it and we have 2 of them making offers on it tomorrow so we will see how that turns out! Nancy when Doug and I take our next vacation I know I will be calling you to see if you have been there and what you can do for us, I just cant tell you enough what a great job you did!!!
Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist: Maui
Mahalo, Doug and Michelle
Hi Patricia! I think I am finally facing reality and the fact that we are home. : ( We flew into Portland, OR to 35 degree weather and snow storms!! We did not want to leave Maui...it was an amazing vacation! Everyone got lots of sun, sand and much needed relaxation. The weather was perfect and the hotel was wonderful. Having the third room for the kids was the smartest thing we did. It connected to one of the King rooms and the other King room was right next door - thanks for all the checking you did on that to make sure we were together.
Our spa/golf/kid's camp day was enjoyed by everyone...the kids ranked that day as one of their favorite! I think they enjoyed meeting some new people and the counselors were fun to hang out with for a day. Ken and Todd said the Plantation Course was beautiful and were glad they took the time to play. Of course, Missy and I wanted to stay at the spa all day - the open air relaxation room is heavenly.
The only thing any of us could complain about was the seating on the flights. For some reason we were all scattered all over the planes, even the kids. We ended up doing lots of trading with other travelers, but we still had some flights where the kids were sort of on their own. We were surprised that they would split up groups traveling together, especially with minors.
We mentioned several times while we were there how easy the trip was for us....it was so nice to know that everything was taken care of and all we had to do was show up!
Todd and Missy are celebrating their 20th Anniversary in October and we were wondering what sort of "mini" package for the four of us (long weekend, 4-5 days) to Napa Valley you could come up with. We celebrated their 15th in Lake Louise (which is when we discovered Travelwizard!) and would like to go to Wine Country this time. If you get a chance to send me some info on that sometime that would be great.
Thank you again for everything you did to make our trip to Maui such a memorable and wonderful vacation. It was the first trip that I have NOT been ready to come home from! None of us were! Please know how much we appreciate your help and we will definately use you in the future, as well as recommend you to everyone we know!
Thanks again!
Carri & the Crew
PS...I'm not sure if you are familiar with Trilogy Excursions out of Maui, but we went on a snorkeling cruise to Lanai with them and it was amazing! The catamaran boat was fun for us all and the crew on board treated us like royalty - food, drinks, jokes and lots of fun! I would highly recommend them to anyone traveling to Maui. We saw whales, dolphins and turtles up close and personal on the trip to Lanai and enjoyed a delicious BBQ dinner on the island before we sailed back, not to mention spectacular snorkeling off the beach.
Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist: Maui, Lanai
Thanks Patricia. We had a great time. We enjoyed Maui a lot, but Lanai was terrific. It was so peaceful and the hotel was amazing.

Testimonials about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations Specialist:
Sharon,
We had a wonderful vacation in the islands. It was so hard coming back into this cold weather. My sister left Friday morning heading back to N.C. And almost got snowed in here. We had a terrible snowstorm, started early Friday morning and didn't end until late Saturday. We have about 15 inches of snow here in Louisville. Doesn't look very pretty to me.
Thanks so much for the fruit tray you had sent to our room when we arrived at the Fairmont Orchid. We were starved by the time we found that place. We went all the way to Waimea and realized we had to be going the wrong way (ha). We were getting frantic so we stopped in a mall and asked directions. It was a beautiful place, but we loved the cottages in Kauai. That was our favorite. It sure turned out to be a good idea to change the luau to the Sheraton in Poipu. That was much closer to where we were staying and the way they were passing out drinks at the luau, we would have to have gotten a room if we had been much further away. We sure enjoyed that.
We are already planning on going back next year to Kauai and staying in the Waimea Plantation cottages. We got all the information; February was a great time to go. We had perfect weather, no rain, not a single day. We learned so much about what to do and what not to do so our next trip should go much smoother.
Thanks for helping us out so much and being prompt with returning my phone calls. I really appreciate that so much and will recommend you to any of my friends and family who are planning a trip. My husband and I are thinking about a cruise this fall. He wants to go to Cancun, but I would like to go to Greece, so we'll have to come to a decision on that one.
Thanks again for everything!

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist
Hi Patricia,
Hawaii was incredible. The trip was perfect. The hotels were all great. I loved the Marriott in Kaui the best. We had an incredible room with the best view! The outrigger in Oahu was lovely. They moved us to a King bed with a view of both Diamond Head and the ocean. It was the corner room. Just spectacular. The Westin was beautiful. A lot of people there. Saw sooooooooo many Whales! Just a blast. Thanks again! I will send you some photos of the balcony shots. Talk to you soon.

Testimonial about Paul Breen, Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean Specialist:
Hi Paul,
Thank you for all your help, the Pro Bowl was fantastic and we had an absolutely fabulous time. So much so we are keen to go back to Hawaii in 2010 but this time we will take the kids. We continued holidaying once we arrived home going away waterskiing with friends and family and on Monday 25th February we finally returned back to work. Once we have sorted out our photo's we'll drop you a quick line.
Bruce loved the Probowl seats, loved meeting the NFL players, loved the cheerleaders and we especially loved our room at the Hyatt. We also learned to surf while we were there. We will be happy to recommend your services and any future trips will be in touch again.
This truly was a magical 40th Birthday! Thank you.
Kind regards, Bruce & Cherie Clark.
Testimonials about Leslie Bryant, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Tahiti, Fiji Specialist
Hi Leslie-
Sorry for the long delay in responding, we've been moving to a new house so it's been kind of busy. Clay and Erin had a wonderful honeymoon on Maui and enjoyed every minute. Their room was very nice and they could open the doors and listen to the ocean in the evenings and the atmosphere was very romantic. They drove the road to Hana and visited other hotels and beaches around Maui and did lots of snorkeling and Clay was able to actually touch a turtle while he was snorkeling. Again, thank you so much for putting such a great package for them. You will be the first one we call as our trusted travel agent! We look forward to planning future adventures with you.

Hi Melanie,
That helps, thank you very much for the extra info. Everything is a great deal, I can see you've saved us quite a bit of money by booking everything through you - not to mention your advise and expertise has been priceless.
Would it be okay with you if we add your contact information on our wedding website? Then, just in case any of my other family members who decide to go - will have your info. I would put your business name, full name, 800 # and website link and a paragraph about how great and helpful you have been.
Looking forward to a great wedding/honeymoon in Kauai!
Thanks again,

Testimonials about Gretchen Macknight, Hawaii, Central America, Caribbean, Mexico Specialist
Hello Gretchen,
I want you to know that your mission was accomplished. The service far exceeded my expectations and I do agree, you guys are experts. So much so that I would not hesitate to call again for any of my future travel needs. As a matter of fact I would possibly like to plan for a cruise to Alaska for 2009. With some excursions on land. It may be too soon to start planning this but I would like to keep it on the calendar.
Gretchen I really want to thank you for all of your expertise. Everything really went well and I look forward to the next adventure!
PS I am sorry for taking so long to respond to this e-mail.

Testimonials about Gretchen Macknight, Hawaii, Central America, Caribbean, Mexico Specialist
Dear Gretchen,
Hello, I am Dave Shultz’s wife, Julie. I am writing to you to let you know that we had the time of our lives in Hawaii, and I want to credit you for a huge part of that.
From the first day we arrived, we were in awe of everything, except maybe the weather which was a little rainy, but did get better. Our hotel was amazing. We were spoiled by the service. The entire trip on Maui was everything that we had imagined and better. Your name came up numerous times when we talked about what a perfect job you did with planning our trip. My children even asked me if we knew you personally because of the times we mentioned you, and because you seemed to know just what we wanted.
The stay in Oahu was also nice, just different of course. Coming from Maui and the treatment that we were given there certainly made it harder for the city folk to please us. We changed our way of thinking and made the best of a different environment, and besides, it was still “Hawaii”. Once again, you put us in the right hotel and we were very happy.
I fear that we are forever spoiled now and will have a difficult time settling for anything less. Now that I am sadly back home under four feet of snow, my memory of our trip to the Islands will keep me going and I want to say again that the service that you provided for us, blessed us more than I could ever tell you.
We are grateful to you, and as my husband as already written you, we have recommended you personally to all we know. I also hope and pray that we will need you again someday. If I had my way, it would be tomorrow, but life doesn’t always work the way we want it to. Thank you Gretchen. You rock!
All Tan in Colorado,
Julie M. Shultz
P.S. make sure that your supervisor sees this. You deserve a raise!

Hey Paul,
Maui was amazing, definitely much better than I had originally thought it would be. We had such a great time, we've decided we'll have to go back!

Testimonials about Leslie Bryant, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize Specialist:
Hi Leslie!
Thanks for all your help with planning this for us we had a wonderful time!
We could see a lot of whales from our resort J and the water was around 75 degrees so it was really nice for body boarding (Nick’s favorite water sport).
My mom got us a gift certificate to do the helicopter ride and the bike trip down the Volcano (Haleakala- spelling). These were so cool because we got to see parts of the island we probably wouldn’t have seen. The last thing we did was a luau on Thursday night which was so neat also.
We had such a great time and I really appreciate all your help! I’ll be sure to let you know next time I’m planning our vacation!
Thanks,
Lindsey
Testimonials about Paul Breen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico Specialist
Hi Paul,
Our vacation was great! Thanks again for all your help and planning - it was nice already having everything lined up and waiting for us! The resort was beautiful - one of the nicest places on the island. We weren't able to go on the helicopter tour because the clouds were too low over the mountain each day we re-scheduled so we had to get reimbursed for that - but other than that - it all went very smooth. I already have been telling people about Travel Wizard and will be sure to send them your way if anyone asks. I don't foresee us going anywhere extravagant for a couple years - but when we do - I will definitley return.
Thanks Again, Kelly
Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist
Hi Lidia,
It turned out to be a great trip. The room you were able to move us to was great, and the hotel experience overall was excellent. We also lucked out on the weather and enjoyed a near perfect trip to Maui.
Thank you again for your help with the room--and thank you for your thoughtful gift--we chipped away at the popcorn every day we were there.
We would like to plan something for Christmas 2008 and could certainly use your assistance in helping select a fun, tropical destination--whether Mexico, Costa Rica, an all inclusive Club Med type trip--we're open to suggestions--and look forward to working with you again.
Best regards,

Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist
Aloha! Mahalo for your help with our trip! We had a great time and wish we we’re still there, ‘tho it’s good to be home!
Highlights were many... Weather... perfect! No rain at all (we we're somewhat sorry about that really) Water... seas we're mild 'til the last day when the trade winds came up. 18 footers in Kehei... 30 on the north shore.
Trilogy tour was excellent! Lots of Whale sightings.
Lunch at Mama's Fish House was amazing (and expensive!) Dinner at Kimo's and drinks on the lanai with a great duo on ukulele & guitar who covered DMB, Coldplay and others 'island style'.
Played golf on Kahili & Waeihu, which was the best (and least expensive!) People were friendly, accommodations comfy. We really had a great time.
Wanted to see Jake Shimabukuro in concert, Haleakala & Honaloa but just didn't have the time. Lots to do still on the next visit! We’ll contact you when we’re ready to go again.

Testimonials about Paul Breen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico Specialist
Hi Paul,
We both appreciated everything you did to make our vacation trip a huge success. As I told you on the phone, our accommodations at Resortquest Papakea were great. We even had a door bell! The kids enjoyed having an ice dispenser in the refrig door, something we don't have at home. Carla's only complaint was that the birds woke her up at 5 a.m. Doug was able to pick up our rental with no problems and it held all of us and our luggage easily. You made a good choice there.
The flight home was interesting. We had to change waiting areas 3 x's in Philadelphia, but they eventually got all of us and our luggage to Cleveland .
At times I felt we were pests, but it was wonderful working with you and you were so patient, so nice and so helpful. If I ever recover from jet lag and decide to travel again, I would definitely give you a call. In fact I now have your name and phone number in my personal directory.
Thanks so much for being such a very special person. Phyllis
Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist
Thanks Lidia! It was a wonderful trip. Both hotels upgraded us to ocean view rooms and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at both of them. We didn't have a chance to try out any of the restaurants at the Royal Lahaina but we had a nice dinner at Kai at the Sheraton.
We did a drive out to the Volcano on the 31st and took an early morning air tour on Wednesday (at 7am so we could make the flight to Maui) to see the lava flows and the water falls, that was amazing! We snorkeled with sea turtles on the big island, my wife loved that. I upgraded the car to a convertible on Maui, it was perfect for the road to Hana! I'll send you some pics once we sort through them (we took about 800!)
Thanks for putting the trip together, everything went smoothly.
Best Regards, Navid

Paul,
Thanks so much for all of your help. We had a great time, and no issues to speak of. We look forward to trying the other islands next time.
I am already looking toward my next vacation. We were hoping to maybe try Iceland, do you deal with overseas vacations? It won't be for a little while, but hopefully later this year.
Thanks and have a great holiday season. Allyson
Hello, I just wanted to thank you guys for what you did for the families on the Montel Williams show. I am speeking about the families that have loved ones serving in Iraq. I know that it is a tax deduction,etc. but it is still nice to know that the people/companies who are in the position to do so are helping these soldiers and their families.

Everything about this trip was great!.. Most importantly the way you made us feel. Your customer service is second to none. Every connection; Every detail was perfect. You did not leave one detail undone, including our return home card. It is so nice to receive this level of attention. You guys have made us feel that we were the only customer you had. We felt very special. We have never used a service that was not local and our experience was beyond expectation!
We have been telling everyone about you and your Company. Hopefully we will meet you in person one day.
We will be planning our next trip with you! It will be Tab's 50th birthday next May.
REVIEW of Resort:
The Four Seasons has customer service down. We had champagne in our room each evening. We had flowers is a heart on our bed one evening. It was great! The staff was plentiful and conscientious, friendly and interested in meeting and talking with us. The property was beautiful, quiet, and well laid out. Weather was Chamber of Commerce, the water unbelievable. If there was one thing we were not crazy about, it would have been some of the restaurant fare. Most was good. Some was not to our tastes.
All in all a memorable trip!!!
Our Sincerest Thanks and Warmest Regards Tab & Kathy Gehrke
Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist
Dear Patricia,
Our trip went smoothly in every regard -- even the airlines behaved themselves and flights ran on time. (I heard somewhere that Hawaiian Airlines has a terrific record in this regard...?) And of course the Grand Hyatt is, as I kept saying to my husband, "impossibly beautiful." We walked the grounds every night around sunset and I had a couple of treatments at the Amara Spa there -- both of which were fabulous! We loved the exercise room, the bountiful breakfast buffet -- which always eliminated the need for lunch -- and the other restaurants as well. The only tough part was finding vegetarian fare for dinner. Usually vegetarians do well with Italian food, but Dondera's had NO vegetarian items on the entree menu. They were, as everyone was, very accommodating and helped up cobble together wonderful dinners without the meat or fish. I've always been surprised that Hawaii has so little to offer vegetarians. It was certainly so on our first trips there, but those were years ago and I thought that perhaps, post Hurricane Iniki, that things had changed. It was actually MORE difficult this time to find vegetarian dinners. Oh, well... It's a small thing. But I think that perhaps someone like you has a stronger "voice" with these resorts and perhaps you could make a case for catering a bit more to folks who don't eat meat or fish...MANY thanks again, Patricia, for all you did to make our vacation so blissful and "snag-free"...
With gratitude, Catherine Van Houten
Testimonials about Paul Breen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico Specialist
Hi Paul,
Our vacation was wonderful!!! It was everything we hope for and more! The Kapalua Villas are just beautiful and our room was just perfect :) Thanks so much for all your help.
We need to get ahead and get our family vacation to Vegas booked so that is something else I could use your help with. We want to go around the last week of July or first few weeks of August. We are pretty flexible on the dates and want the best deal. We also need help choosing a reasonably priced hotel room that can accomodate a family of 5. My mother will possibly be joining us so something that would accomodate 6 would be ideal.
A couple of tricky things to note is:
*We need to fly into Phoenix because we will be visiting my relatives for about 3 days
*We need a rental car in Phx and plan to drive from Phx to Vegas and use the same car while in Vegas
*We will fly out of Vegas back to Dallas
Look forward to hearing from you! Thanks a million :)

Testimonial about Stacy Glass, Hawaii Specialist
Everything went Great for both the wedding and the vacation. Both Betty and I were very pleased with Stacy and the coordination support he gave us. We had very little to do once we were in Maui to get ready for the wedding so we were able to enjoy our time there more. We had thought enough ahead to also Bring our Birth certificates which were not required, but had some needed information on them. Same was true for our ex's (death Cert. & Divorce Cert.). Our marriage lic. Agent turned out to be a character. Besides being an Lic. Agent she was also an answering service for several different business. We were both chuckling at every time she answered the phone it was for a different Business. Visited several places while we were there, enjoyed a lot of good food, got Betty into the ocean she was scared of, snorkeling and she liked it, did some whale watching and saw several. Also attend the Old Lahanai Lau, which because I had chosen mat seating, we were right in the front row. The whole thing was kind of dreamy and was afraid I was going to wake up soon. I think I cried when we headed back to the airport. When I do a vacation at this level in the future this is the way I will go. Thanks for all your help Richard & Betty Varga
Testimonials about Jenni Malone, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist
Jenni,
Thanks again for your expertise, we have had the most lovely experience! We took the helicopter over the entire island, catamaran trip etc., also drove into the canyons etc. The Hilton was accommodating - it is centrally located to drive up to the west/north shore and to the south Poipu sunny south side shore. We made good use of our time and saw it all. Roy's restaurant was outstanding.

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist:
Hi Patricia,
The trip was awsome! We had so much fun! The weather was really good. We want to go back, one week went so fast. We thought we would see if you could get us some info on renting a condo there and is it much cheaper? The hotel was awesome, no complaints, staff was friendly and we got our room upgraded to a suite! The hotel was clean and nicely renovated. Rick was really nice and down to earth! We would highly recomend him. We had the week of our dreams! All thanks to you. We are having a problem with the photos though. We bought the copyrights from the photographer and brought home the photos on a disc, because they were so nice and so many to choose from. But the disc is a dvd not a cd and we cant get them on the computer or the dvd player. So I have a friend that is going to see if she knows how to get them. She's a little beter on computers than me. If she cant I will call him and see what he says. We paid him a lot of money for this disc of photos so hopefully we can figure it out. So thanks so much for the awsome job you did planning out wedding/vacation. We will highly recommend you when we get the chance. Thanks again!

Hello Lidia,
Sorry it has taken me a few days to get back to you, I have been playing catch up.
We had a great stay at Kaanapali Shores and a great time in Maui. It is absolutely beautiful there and we also took one of the interisland flights to Oahu to visit Pearl Harbor. We booked this through the concierge at Kaanapali Shores and Nui Air. Nui Air pilot was very informative and actually showed us other parts of the islands both flying over and returning from Oahu. Our tour guide was also great. Thank you so much for doing a great job booking our trip.
I look forward to working with you again. My next trip will be a cruise for my niece and nephew.
Again, thanks so much!! Angie

Hi Patricia, Sorry I am just replying. Everything went beautifully. Our rooms for both me, Jeff and my daughter Erin were wonderful. The Royal Lahaina staff were awesome and so friendly. The rooms were beautifully decorated and were always cleaned very well. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that goes to Maui. It was so convenient to every thing we visited. Our most favorite tour was the Road to Hana. We had a tour guide from Hana that had been doing these tours for 39 years. She was awesome. She was related to everyone in Hana so we got to meet a lot of her cousins and hear many wonderful stories about going up in Hana. It was a trip of a life time. Sure wish I could live there. So relaxing. Thanks so much for all your help. You were great! Donna

Sorry it’s taken us so long to get back to you! We’ve been EXTREMELY busy since our return. Maui was very nice. I much prefer Oahu, though. Kaanapali and surrounding areas just seemed very flat and the beaches were not great. The Old Lahaina Luau was FANTASTIC. We both absolutely loved it!
Also, a great sushi restaurant we found was Sansei, a few minutes from the Hyatt. Wonderful food and great atmosphere.
Anyway, I meant to send you a thank you but have been so busy I haven’t had even a minute. You were a tremendous help!
So thank you so much! We will definitely recommend you to our friends and will use you in the future.

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist
Hello,
I was writing to let you know that we have been working with Patricia Mullen for over 6 months now planning our honeymoon. She has been excellent and an absolute pleasure to work with. We mentioned to her that we would like an earlier flight if one opened up and she remembered this several months later and let us know when it became available. Also, I can email her anytime and she always responds within a very short amount of time (usually within 30 minutes).
Our wedding planning wasn't this smooth, so we wanted to take the time to let you know what an outstanding employee you have working for your company. We would gladly work with her again on our future travel. It is rare to have such professional and responsive customer service in this society. Please keep this email in mind when reviewing Patricia in the future.
Thank you,
Cynthia Strock
Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist
Hi Patricia....Our vacation was okay. The weather could have been better (very cloudy) but we did get 2 or 3 days of sunshine. The Marriott is beautiful but the beach was a BIG disappointment. It seems it was public and people who weren't guests at the Marriott were allowed along with their dogs. There was dog poop all over the place...it wasn't too appealing. On the whole I think if I were to visit the Hawaiian island again it would not be Kauai. There's no night life at all and there really isn't much to do there once you've taken in all the sites. I didn't get to zipline.....the weather was not to agreeable and I didn't see the sense of doing it in the rain. Hope you enjoy your visit more............ Thanks for all your help. Debra Catena

Hi Lidia,
Lisa and I enjoyed our trip a lot. It was great to relax and unwind after a very hectic wedding!
The Hyatt in Kauai was beautiful. The hotel was amazing and the service was great.
The Royal Lahaina was quite different from the Hyatt, but at the considerably lower cost, I expected as much. The rooms were nice and brand new. A nice touch was their check-in service, in which a representative from the hotel walked us directly into our room for an in room check-in. No lines and no confusing directions to your room are always nice. On the flip side, our rep wasn't very knowledgeable about the hotel and didn't seem to be able to answer our questions regarding restaurant recommendations, etc. This also seemed to be a common theme with much of their staff. The beach at the Royal Lahaina was great. Easy to relax on and very swimable.
All together, we had a great time. Thanks for all your help. We'll certainly contact you if/when we plan our next trip.
Thanks,
Tim

Dear Lidia,
Good to hear from you. We had a wonderful time. Flights went well and we did manage to upgrade to the economy plus. Sheraton Maui took good care of us by giving us an ocean view room on the ground floor in Building 2. They initially assigned us a room in another building but accomodated our request for Bldg 2. We totally loved the room. Went to a wonderful Sunday Mass at the little church in Lihiana. There is something special about the tone of the songs when sung by a Hawian choir. Swam with a family of sea turtles 3 days out of 4! Of course truly treasured spending time with Jeffrey.
Thanks you for the picture album and card ........ we'll put it to good use.
Many thanks,
Diane
Testimonials about Gretchen Macknight, Central America, Caribbean, Mexico Specialist
Hi Gretchen, Maui was an absolute blast! It was a relaxing vacation that I really needed! It was funny. . . at first when we got there, we were like, wow, there is only couples here which is pretty much the way it is. We where thinking man, we should have gone to another more happening island. But, by the 2nd or 3rd day we thought it was absolute paradise and couldn't imagine ever going to another island! Probably the best place ever to take a date... which is definitely not what it was, but we had an awesome time! I will be going back for sure. Now I want to explore more islands over there. Great recommendation. The room we had was right over the Black Rock which was pretty much the best room in the entire hotel we learned. Good times! Thanks!

Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist
I'm VERY happy with travelwizard----------when I didn't like the room we were given and the people at the hotel didn't seem to care too much, I called travelwizard and suddenly the hotel took care of the problem for me. I don't think that would have happened without you guys behind me. The room we ended up in was EXACTLY where I wanted it to be and that made me very happy. Antonio, the Director of Rooms, was really helpful and understanding once he was contacted by travelwizard.
Again, we couldn't be happier with travelwizard. We will use you again and recommend you to everyone we know. Thanks for doing such a good job for us.

Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist
Lidia, Thanks again for helping us complete our vacation this summer. It worked out every well and everyone had a great time. The hotel was perfectly suited for our needs. The separate room and the microwave/fridge really helped since we have two young kids. We plan to vacation in Hawaii in a regular basis and will definitely be asking for your assistance. As a side note, after we returned from the trip the past Sunday, we received Travel and Leisure's top 50 resorts for kids. And the Fairmont Kea Lani was ranked 2nd in all of the Hawaiian Islands. Best regards, Ching p.s. thank you for the basket
Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist Wow!! We had a wonderful time, finally got home last night around 9PM; the accommodations were amazing especially the Grand Hyatt in Kauai, they upgraded our room to Ocean view suite!! Top shelf. We loved it.
Thanks for your help, Gary Smith
Testimonials about Gretchen Macknight, Jamaica, Mayan Riviera, Europe specialist: ur
Hi Gretchen,
I wanted to tell you Thank You so much for all your help in planning and making our vacation so wonderful! We loved the resort and all the staff was very attentive and so personable. The food was plentiful and delicious and they make some awesome drinks! We loved being so close to the main strip in town close enough to walk but when you were on the beach it seemed to be very quite and peaceful. The pickup service to and from the hotel was just right and made that part of our trip so easy. I looked online at all the usual “discount” travel sites and you were able to get a better rate and offer so much more. So thanks again for making my husbands 50th birthday celebration so affordable and enjoyable. We will definitely use Travel Wizard for our next vacation. Thank You,

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist
Hi Patricia - Sorry I didn't correspond sooner but there was a big pile of paper on the desk when I returned that I am still not yet completely through. We had a great time and everything went smoothly. We received your welcome gift at the Kea Lani. It was greatly appreciated. Each island was truly very different from the other. We probably most enjoyed Maui and the Kea Lani is a fabulous hotel. Breakfast which was important to us was well done everywhere. The weather could not have been better. We received a call from a Pleasant Holidays' person while we were in Maui didn't have time to make contact with him. Hard to believe we are home a week already. Thanks for everything. We're looking forward to the next vacation. Regards, Tom Niesen

Testimonials about Paul Breen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico Specialist
Hi Paul-
Aloha I should say. Our trip was wonderful, you handled everything very well. You are our vacation travel agent from now on!! Thanks you for all your help. Didn't know if you had any interest at all in any update I could share with you about our vacation so you could add it to your "bank" of knowledge about Hawaii for future clients. The Wailea Marriott was really fabulous. The have completed all room renovations and last thing they are doing is a new Serenity Pool which is to open next year. Wow, it will be beautiful. Also redoing front check in counter so will be beautiful too. Rooms in "out buildings" where we were were best. Mostly families with kids in Tower. Grounds manicured to perfection, fabulous breakfast buffet. Use same restaurant for dinner so not much atmosphere so we went elsewhere. Not too crowded by pool. Classy crowd of people, not too many kids at all. We walked next door to Grand Wailea one day and there had to be 300 people by the pool!!! Hotel is gorgeous as you know but very very crowded and tons of teenagers!! Also walked through beautiful Fairmont but it was really a zoo too!! I think for faily quiet it would be our Marriott or Four Seasons. Really loved Wailea area. Not as many families, teenagers etc as Kaanapalii etc. Loved loved loved Shops at Wailea (Bill was in a panic!!) Ate at Longhi's and Tommy Bahama both fabulous. Drove to Pa'ia one day had been to Hana a couple times before. Ate at Mama's Fish House, beautifully situated on white sand beach, food was fabulous. Loved the Wailea Marriott.JW Marriott Ko'Olina was so beautiful to drive into. High rise as you know but just gorgeous. Newly developed area as you know so not very built up yet although new million dollar condos now for sale, we went through models.
Different from Wailea though. More high rise feel. Beautifully appointed room but honestly, I think I like the more "hawaiian" feel of Wailea Marriott. Breakfast Buffett was superb, like Wailea but even more to choose from. Lots of rich families :-)))) Really, more kids than other hotel believe it or not. Guess lots of people with kids are tired of Waikiki. We went to Doris Duke Shangra La by Diamond Head. Have to purchase tickets months in advance from Honolulu Academny of the Arts but SOOOO worth it. You meet at Academy in Honolulu and they drive out small group in their vans. Highly recommended. Went with our Ventura neighbors across the street who have a condo in Waikiki. Went to look at various condos on day. Very interesting and expensive. Went to Kahala Hotel for lunch. Oh my gosh, just beautiful. Real old Hawaii feel. Would like to stay there.
Thanks again for doing such a great job for us.

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist
Aloha Patricia! I am so sorry for the delay! I went on a business trip right after our trip! Anyway, the trip was amazing! Everything went so smooth. My husband and I had the best time. The condo was fantastic. We would definitely recommend it. Wailea was perfect! We loved the area and highly recommend that as well. We drove to Kaanapali and it was fun for an afternoon but we loved getting back to the quieter and shadier side. Truly everything could not have gone smoother. It was a perfect 10th wedding anniversary trip. Thank you so much for your time and care with our trip. I will definitely recommend Travel Wizard to family and friends. Have a great day and I look forward to the next trip! Take care, Lorie Hennessey

Patricia, thank you for the nice note. You did a great job as everything went well. We were extremely pleased with the accommodations and the fantastic services we received from all the employees at the Marriot.

Testimonials about Melanie Valuck, Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii Specialist
Melanie,
I just wanted to personally thank you for your assistance in our travel plans. Being our honeymoon we really had high expectations and I feel that they were definately met. The resort was beautiful and the service was superb. You were very accessable and it was comforting to know that we had a true professional working for us. I have a feeling that if I actually went through with booking the trip myself it would not have been so seamless and smooth. Thanks again and I will be sure to keep your contact info for future vacation plans.

Dear Patricia, Sorry i did not get back to you sooner, but when i got back from Hawaii i had to turn aound and head for work. We had a wonderful time and are thinking of going again in the future. The snorkling and the 7A tour were fantastic. the 7A tour is a island tour with Pearl Harbor added. Germaine's Luau was great as well. We where told to do the polynesian cultural center but run out of time to do so. Will be sending photos and a cd of things when i get back home. Rick Hughes

Paul,
Micky and I want to thank you for the role you played in making our 25th anniversary trip to Hawaii such a memorable one. Your guidance on recommendations for resorts was spot on (especially the Fairmont) and the "surprise packages" you left for us at the Fairmont (very tasty) and the Hyatt (cd-very thoughtful) were very nice indeed.
We really appreciate the "personal touch" you provided - it made all the difference!!
Sincerely, Jeff and Micky Scofield

Testimonials about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations Specialist:
Aloha! Thank you Sharon...you did an awesome job. We had a wonderful time! My husband wasn't particularly looking forward to time on Waikiki (was too crowded for him when we were there last), but we liked the hotel at the end of the beach..for us it was a great location! Even though it was Spring break, it wasn't crowded and we had a great time. The Big Island of Hawaii continues to be our favorite and the sun, sand, beach, snorkeling, fishing.....all were fabulous!
Dallas wanted to call you from Hawaii and tell you thank you, but we had a Lava Flow and forgot to! :)
Thanks again for a wonderful job! ~Rhonda
Testimonial to Nancy Nicholson South Pacfic Consultant:
Hi Nancy -
Thanks to you we had a most wonderful honeymoon in Kaua'i. Everything went well and was arranged as promised. The Grand Hyatt was a perfectly romantic setting. Immediately upon check in, Sadie at Reception upgraded us from the Mountain View room you'd reserved to a ground floor Oceanfront room in a secluded wing of the hotel. It was a nice touch since we'd thought we could only be upgraded one tier (to Garden View) which was part of the reason we had insisted on keeping the Mountain View reservation. We both enjoy the view of the misty mountains, but it's hard to resist the ocean. We could hear the lull of the waves crashing all night long and step out onto the sand to watch the sunrise every morning. Our room was also next to the lawn where they do the luau so
we saw all the action from backstage, which was fun. The hotel grounds are a breathtaking paradise, the restaurants are fabulous, and the spa is a luxurious treat - we went twice! (We managed to see most of the island as well in our Jeep rental, don't worry!) All in all we can't imagine a more beautiful honeymoon experience and we will certainly recommend your services to anyone needing a travel agent. Thanks again,
Neysa
Testimonial about Donna Salerno, Europe, exotic tours, and vacation specialist:
Hi Donna,
A BIG Thank You for helping plan our family Hawaii stay. We had a great time and everything worked out picture perfect-I'll be sending you some in my next email (pictures).
The kids loved the different areas we discovered and we had a nice mix of activities and relaxation; it was a good match with the two islands. It's so incredibly beautiful and the people we met were so helpful and gracious. Thanks for the recommendation on the spa; that was a nice treat!
Roy's was the BEST place to eat on both islands-glad you passed on the information. Fun ambiance with great food!
Had the best experience on the 2 Day-trips and luau; you picked for us. They were highlights of our stay. The places we stayed were just beautiful; fantastic ocean view rooms.
We took ride up to North coast of Maui. So different!
All in all....I wish we were still there!! Talk with you soon to plan our next escape.

Testimonials about Donna Salerno, Europe, exotic tours, and vacation specialist: Hi Donna The honeymoon was great! Thanks for all of your help. The Maui/Kea Lani turned out to be a fantastic choice and perfect match for what we were looking for. Wailea was a much better location for us and we drove around most of the island.

Testimonial about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Tahiti, Mexico Specialist
Hi Patricia, Thank you for the arrangement. We had such a wonderful time in Hawaii. We did a walking tour of the lava, and the volcano park, then we flew over the main volcano. It was a breath taking experience. We did snorkeling, and swam with fish and turtles. Such a fun. We also did the tropical garden and water fall hiking in between drinking Mai Tais....:-) Only disappointing part was the plane ride. IT was nothing to do with you. There was such a big crowd at SFO we almost missed the plane. We ended up in the last row seats for both ways, and it was terrible. However, we decided to go back to Hawaii again, and thank you again. Benjamin Hur
We had a wonderful trip and loved St Barts. Thank you for all your help and thoughtfulness. I'll email when I am in the mood for my next trip. Jeanette Frankenberg
Testimonial about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Tahiti, Mexico Specialist Hey Patricia; Thanks for arranging our great vacation. Thankfully, we got home safe and sound last night, or should I say this morning at 3:00 a.m. (supposed to be 11:30 pm) thanks to a 'mechanical issue' and eventual plane change...we just got word that the airline (Harmony Air) is going under, so that may have something to do with it all in the long run - thankfully you didn't arrange that part of our trip! Highlights were upgrading to a 2 seater convertible Chey Crossfire and driving the road to Hana. Dennis revisited his old haunts from when he jumped from and swam 7 pools in the early 1990's. Also, we took a dinner cruise and saw (and smelled!) two different types of whales, 'false-killer whale' (very rare - they come around 1 or 2 times a year), and humpbacks. Very cool! Also, swimming and snorkelling with a turtle. The Sheraton was amazing and perfect - just down the back from all the action, but within walking distance to fun restaurants and shopping if we wanted. Loved it, loved it, loved it! Thanks again - I hope you get to go soon! Sincerely, Trish (and Dennis) Stobbe
Testimonial about Diane Costa, Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean Vacation Specialist
Hello
I planed my vacation to Maui with Diane Costa and I would like to tell you how wonderful she was. My vacation was a fantastic trip and a memorable vacation--- and I can't forget unforgetable. My now wife Meci, must have called Diane everyday. Diane was always excited to talk to her, even if she called after hours. The hotel, we loved it, the Fairmont Kea Lani. My wife and I walked in to the room and it felt like we were looking in a magazine, Diane had also left us a gift basket. The room was so beautiful, and the view was breathtaking. I was reluctant to chose this hotel because of the price, but Diane and my wife persuaded me to do it--- and it was so worth it. We had the best activates you could ever ask for. We went snorkeling in Molokini. That was the best thing we had ever done, it was like being inside of a giant aquarium. The water was so clear you could see the bottom. The fish were so colorful. The boat we were on was the Four Winds II, our captain was Captain John and he was great. I won a t-shirt on board. We also went on a dinner cruise, the food was terrific and the drinks great. The sunset sail was something for us to remember. We took our daughter on a Submarine ride that was really exciting. And I can't forget to mention my wedding. Diane didn't plan my wedding but she was a huge part of it. We had 10 people in our group and one child. Every day my daughter asked if we could go back to Hawaii. She's just 3 she can't quite say Hawaii yet. We got to Maui in February 12 and the family left on February 16. We needed some time to our self so we came back to Texas on February 21th. I just wanted to stop and say how great Diane Costa was--- you can always find a travel agent, but finding a travel that you like is great, and Diane is great. We had planed another trip with her, a Cruises, but we just found out my wife is expecting a child. I 'm really excited because it is my first biological child. I can't wait to plan another vacation in the near future. Thank you so much Diane you were great, Meci and I both really appreciate what you did for me and all of our other family members.
Thank you-- Travel Wizard member for life.

Testimonial about Linda Barber, Hawaii and Exotic Specialist
Dear Linda, 70th Birthday Celebration! We loved our Hawaiian vacation !!!!! All the arrangements worked out great. We loved the Hilton Waikoloa Village, the Hotel grounds are very beautiful, the Lagoon tower was really convenient to the swimming pools and all the other options. We were really impressed with the caves and the waterfalls. I would have liked a brighter Bathroom, the lighting was not very good, but it was functional and there was a place for everything. All in all it was an amazing experience. The breakfast in both Hotels was wonderful, and quite a saving at having it included in the room price. The best on the Big Island was the Helicopter tour, what an experience, so glad we did not cancel. The dinner cruises were both very good, the food was excellent on both. Also the Luau in Lahaina was fantastic, the show was wonderful, the food was good. I was a little disappointed in the pork, it was stringy and dry, but plenty to drink, and the staff was great. What can I say about the Fairmont, except it exceeded our expectations !!! What a wonderful Hotel, we did not want to leave. Thank you for arranging all those extras, the basket with Macadamia nuts,sodas,juice,popcorn and cookies was great, as was the bottle of Korbel and a Hawaiian Gold Pinapple,with Happy Birthday wishes. All in all it made me feel very special. Thank you Linda, and if we are ever planning an other big vacation, I will certanly contact you. Will also recommend the services of the Travel Wizard to our friends. Best regards, Sylvia and Falko
