Greetings!
Happy New Year!
Well so far, this year is off to an amazing start - in all
the years I have traveled I have never seen so many
GREAT deals being offered for destinations spanning
the globe.
As specialists for Hawaii we are pleased to say that
our wholesalers are offering phenomenal deals,
finally!
We are seeing rates we haven't seen for several
years, and most hotel offers make you want to pack
your bags and travel now - the deals are that good!
The Caribbean is another hot market where we are
seeing multiple free night offers and/or free meals all
on
properties from deluxe on up to ultra luxury, this can
amount to $1000's off just a five night stay!
Many properties in the South Pacific are offering stay
5/pay 3 packages and/or discounted air rates as these
destinations vie for honeymooners and romantics.
Europe has been hot, hot, hot as travelers are seeing
the value of the dollar increase as the price of
vacations all over Europe drop to lure vacationers.
Remember, if you can travel BEFORE June you can
save several hundred dollars in air/land packages as
this is low season. If you can travel in May this is a
great time to visit Europe - weather is good, lines are
shorter, cost of travel is less!
Still one of the best values out there is in cruising
where we are seeing unprecedented savings for all
types of cruises - deluxe to ultra luxury, short cruises
to world cruises - the savings are just incredible.
Private home rentals are really the only area where
we are not seeing discounted rates being offered
consistently. These types of vacationers are typically
not affected by the downturns in the economy.
So all in all this is your year - the year of the traveler.
For all of those who can make travel part of this years
agenda you will have many, many options - more
than you have had in years past. The best thing of all
is that you will be paying much less for any vacation
you go on this year! And should you book your
vacation with us and the price drops we will be able to
get the new reduced price! So don't be afraid of
booking now because you think you will lose out on
getting a
lower price!
Look wisely at all that is out there, if it looks too good
to be true it probably is, and make sure to call us. We
want your business - we will work hard for you and
with you to make sure that you have nothing less than
what you deserve, and Incredible Journey!

In the land of the midnight sun, you'll need
every extra minute of daylight if you want to
experience it all. From the awe-inspiring
blue ice of a massive glacial field to the
expansive grandeur of its wildlife and
nature, everything in Alaska is bigger.
Including the adventures. For the ultimate
Alaska vacation, book a cruise tour - a
combination of a cruise vacation and land tour.

Dear Endora,
I have heard the waves
can get big in Hawaii, but how big is big and
what was the BIGGEST wave ever recorded?

This is shaping up to be a difficult year for
the travel industry. By almost any
measure-money spent on vacations,
international arrivals, business
bookings-travel numbers are declining.
According to Geoffrey Lipman, assistant
secretary general of the UN World Tourism
Organization, the math is simple:
"Macroeconomics determines the curve of the
travel industry," he explains. And these days
all macroeconomic indicators are decidedly down.
