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 w...

Travel Agent for Hawaii Lovers

From crystal blue waters to stunning green cliffs and black sand beaches, Hawaii's open spaces are the perfect backdrop for unforgettable encounters with a vibrant culture that will reward you for seeking to expand your horizon.


The four main islands of Hawaii - Big Island, Oahu, Kauai, and Maui all have unique appeal for travelers.


 Kauai is the oldest and northernmost island.  We enjoyed a catamaran


cruise along the Napali Coast with it's dramatic, rugged terrain, sea caves and dolphins.  At the Lighthouse point we saw humpback whales. My husband enjoyed a round of golf at the very difficult Princeville golf course.


In the southern part of Kauai, we enjoyed a visit to Po'ipu Beach where we saw young seals chasing each other and turtles sunning themselves on the beach.  WE took a trip to Waimea Canyon State Park to see the Grand Canyon of Hawaii.   


 O'ahu stands for "The Gathering Place".  It is an island of vibrant contrasts.  Honolulu the state capital is located here.  The beautiful beaches of Wakiki will entice you to learn to surf.  I found it to be too big of a city for me but you don't want to miss Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, and Polynesian cultural center so be sure to spend a couple of days on the island.  


 


Mauai is the second largest island and is home to luxury resorts and charming towns.  Best island for a honeymoon in a variety of accommodations.  Town of Lahaina is the launching spot for whale watching, snorkel tours, fishing expeditions, and sunset cruises.  You will also find a great photo spot and the large Banyan Tree.  Kanapali and Kapalua areas have champion golf courses, luxury hotels and white sand beaches.  If you decide to drive the road to Hana, it takes about 3 hrs each way and and has 600 hairpin tours where only one car at a time can go around.  If you want to look at the scenery, take a tour as opposed to driving yourself.


 


 Big Island or Island of Hawaii- this is the youngest and largest island.  It is also still growing.  We were adventurous on this island.  We walked out onto the Volcanic rock at night to see the red flames underneath.  You can explore Akaka Falls State Park to see waterfalls. We visited the Waimea region where the Hawaiian Cowboy culture rules.  There are beautiful beaches on one side of the island and volcanic ashes on the other side.  


 


Allow me to help you plan a wonderful vacation in Hawaii whether it is for a family vacation,  beach vacation,  honeymoon or just a trip for 2.

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.
