Fiji in the South Pacific is a magical place. Fiji consists of an archipelago of more than 330 islands-of which 110 are permanently inhibited. Most of the population lives on the two major islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. My husband and I were lucky enough to travel to Fiji and fell in love with the white sandy beaches and clear blue waters. The people are very friendly and most speak English. There are a variety of hotels in Fiji from the more south pacific style of the Outrigger to the more modern Intercontinental and Westin. There are adults only hotels and all inclusive resorts. You can play a round of golf, scuba or snorkel, shopping and boating. We enjoyed a Captain Cook Cruise out to small island to enjoy snorkeling and picnicing. You are probably wondering about the flights to Fiji. If you live on the East Coast like me, you can fly to LAX and then to Fiji. I recommend flying to LA the day before and staying overnight in LA. We took a tour of LA the next morning and relaxed before taking our night time flight to Fiji. Because you cross the International Dateline, you loose a day flying to Fiji but when you return you end up back in LA before you even left Fiji.
Call or email me if you would like to book a WOW vacation to Fiji.

Puerta Plata Dominican Republic Travel Agent
Most travelers have been to or heard of the Punta Cana area of the Dominican Republic. Puerta Plata is on the northeastern tip of the Dominican Republic. My husband and I traveled to Puerta Plata. In Punta Cana, you stay on your resort. There is no town to visit, just beaches. In Puerta Plata, you can walk into the town and explore or you can book an adventure. My husband and some friends walked into town and watched the locals playing baseball (The favorite pastime of the people.) I drank the water so you know where I was for awhile. (don't even have ice in your drinks)
Puerta Plata is known for it's lush rainforests, sunny beaches, whale watching, and water sports. There is an abundance of leisure activities from gambling to parks to shopping.
There are many adventures you can book this area - 27 Waterfalls in Amber Cove, cable car ride up the mountain, catamaran with snorkeling, visit a Rum Factory, chocolate making factory and more. How about a buggy ride through the sugar cane fields, up the mountain and down to the beach. I do suggest you book the adventures ahead and to not book it with someone on the streets. You want to be safe!!
As far as where to stay, there are all-inclusive hotels for adults only and smaller hotels for adults only. There are hotels for families, also.

Trudy is an Excellent Travel Agent
When I worked for Rutgers University, Trudy arranged my travel to conferences and other meetings within employer travel constraints and procedures. She was always very personable and efficient and got trips arranged and air fares locked in very quickly.

To many great trips to just pick one
Trudy has always been available whenever we had any questions and/or concerns about any of our trips. She always looked for the best options for us and cared about us as "people" which is extremely important. She always listened and understood our wants and needs.
