Hawaii Family Vacation

Hi Sue!

Hawaii is awesome! I loved it, not enough time though, next time it will be much longer. The resorts were beautiful. I really can't tell which was my favorite because they both had qualities that I enjoy, The Hilton Waikoloa was just beautiful. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and it was so nice that it was included. The vow renewal was very nice Penei was very sweet and the photographer we had we really nice too, we got some really awesome pictures. We went on a helicopter ride with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, and I was very excited I didn't get sick, I was a little disappointed that the trip we selected didn't take us to see the top of the Volcano, There was just not enough time to explore.

The Hawaiian Hilton, I loved being in Oahu, all the activities going on there. Our room was fine.

The flights were long on the way out, I never dreamed that a 6 hour time difference would cause such a difference in your body clock. But it just made us feel like early risers!! The flight home was delayed until 9:00 pm which was awesome because we went Para sailing right before we left. My cousin asked his girlfriend to marry him while they were up in the air so that was really special and I would have been so disappointed to have missed it. So, I'm sure God made the flight late so I could be there!! :) Cause I've been coaching him forever on getting engaged!!

All in all the trip was awesome and I am going back and staying 2 weeks next time. I'm even thinking of going back with my husband next May for our 25th Anniversary, (if we can swing it). Thanks for everything!

Aloha!!

Heartfelt Fiji Vacation

Hi Mike,
Just thought I’d let you know that we returned back from our trip to Fiji a couple of nights ago. We had a FABULOUS time and I wanted to thank you for your help with our trip.

We continue to love Fiji and I plan to hopefully start a charity to help with some additional school funding. At a minimum, I plan to gather up a bunch of supplies and ship them over. We met a gentleman from the State Department who was at Matangi while we were there who is building the US Embassy in Suva who is going to help with the logistics. He will remain in Fiji until the Fall. The kids are truly amazing and they need some additional support. It would be so great if more people sent supplies to Fiji for the schools & children.

Glad you had a nice trip.

Diving Fiji

Aloha and Bula Bula Mike!

We are still unpacking from our fabulous trip to Fiji - thank you very much for steering us to the two great dive resorts. Incredible diving - only unfortunate was the weather wasn't very good for our first week at Beqa Lagoon Resort, but with the scuba diving activity it was all fine . Loved our little oceanfront bure - as you know, the food was European influenced and fabulous - especially the desserts at Beqa (although didn't lose the weight we thought we would!).. Did the shark dive which was amazing to end the week and bought the DVD which is fun to have (well done). The staff was so nice and very professional. They are almost finished with a new massage and spa area - Sue said will be done in a couple of weeks. Overall, Beqa Lagoon Resort is a very professionally run dive resort , although the weather there might be alittle more overcast, but I think a big low pressure was hanging over the whole state that week - even the Yasawas someone said.

Dive Kadavu was more campy - we were the only ones there that week! We had the scuba boat all to ourselves , the sun came out, and they dropped us off at a beautiful long deserted beach to look for shells in between dives which was really nice (dive sights closer). Unfortunately too rough to get to the other side to see the manta rays. The managers, Mere and David, provided a homey and friendly atmosphere (although harder to understand David's accent). The villages next door did not allow for as much privacy (their path went right through and around our bure), although made a very authentic experience (we learned not to leave our shoes by the path - one pair went missing). Our only suggestion would be to upgrade the bathrooms . The diving was not as "valet" in terms of setting up your own equipment etc....was fine for us, but for some divers they may prefer. The Namalate reef there was very fun - but don't know how it would have compared to the Astrolabe reef I read about as it was too far away from this resort.

Thank you again for your excellent service in setting up our vacation , and we look forward to booking with you again in the near future. Next time we will be ready for the Somosomo straits, rainbow reef, and Taveuni now that we are intermediate divers! Maybe also a few days in Mamanucas/Yasawas.

PS - there is now just started, Mere and David said, twice daily plane service from Suva to Kadavu which would be shorter than going all the way back to Nadi.

Aloha for now and vinaka naka levu !!!!!!

Memorable Hawaii

Dear Robin!

I would like to personally thank you for helping me to arrange this memorable vacation. We have had a truly wonderful time and everything has worked out to almost complete perfection. Your choices of accommodation were really excellent and my family enjoyed the hotels and resorts tremendously. Special thanks for that superb unit 27B2 at Kapalua Bay Villas! We were especially fond of the personalized greetings and gifts - my two daughters were overjoyed. Again, kudos to you and McCoy travel! We have precious memories almost too numerous to list. We swam with spinner dolphins off the coast of the Big Island, swam with numerous green sea turtles at the Turtle Beach of Oahu, snorkeled at many places on all four visited islands and photographed dozens of fish species we have never seen before. We have encountered endemic species of birds on the slopes of Haleakala, including nene, apapane, i'iwi, and amakihi. We met a monk seal on the Tunnels' Beach of Kauai. I could take beautiful pictures of both red-tailed and white-tailed tropic birds at the Kilauea Lighthouse of Kauai, the species I missed photographing on the Galapagos. We watched the lava flowing into the ocean from a distance of 40 feet on a very special pre-dawn boat trip. We have completed two fantastic helicopter tours, one on the Big Island and one to Molokai's northern cliffs from Maui. The Hanauma Bay, Napali coast, Waimea valley, Mauna Kea, Hamakua coastline, Kilauea caldera with the nighttime orange-red glow of the fumes from its crater, the nighttime lava flows, the fauna and flora of the subalpine forests, the Haleakala crater, the Iao valley and needle, the road to Hana were all beautiful and mesmerizing. We have also visited the gravesite of my childhood hero Charles Lindbergh. Again, the list of our planned and impromptu activities is very long. We were very fortunate to have had favorable weather conditions and were able to adjust our busy schedules to occasional rains and winds. Again, I cordially extend my gratitude to you and McCoy travel.

With best wishes

I remain,

Fiji Dream Honeymoon

Bula Lori,

I've been so busy with school the past couple days i haven't had time to get to you. I can't thank you enough for you work and attention to Kayla and I and wanted to share my experience to show you how grateful for you we are

With all the wedding planning i was only given two jobs and one was the honeymoon. I had never before dealt with a travel agent as I have always travel inside the 48 continuous states up until this point. I had been given dozens of names, agencies, tips, cautions etc. and was very overwhelmed. I did as much research as possible before I was ready to start talking to people but was still rather clueless. On the day that I began to give my information to travel sites on the web McCoy Travel was one of the first because you're company was one of the recommendations I had received. Obviously being a normal American consumer I looked at many different sites to find the best price. After sharing info with 'Tripology' 'South Seas Adventures' Travel Wizards' ' Fiji-Honeymoons' and about 6-8 others, I sat back and waited to see if anyone would call me unprovoked as I don't Email when I don't have to. I feel an actual conversation is more personal. 2 people did call though I received about 5 other emails. You were the 2nd person to call me which automatically pushed the other man to the top of my list until I found out the time zone difference and realized that you called FIRST THING in the morning where as it took him half the day to get to me. Not a huge deal all things considered but this is my honeymoon and I want to be treated like it's the biggest thing in the world even from the beginning because to us, it is. All told I talked to 6 trip planners in the next three days, as some didn't bother to call or email at all, all the while still planning to get the best deal possible. That, however, didn't last long because your service far exceeded the competition for many reasons.

As I mentioned before, you the quickest to call me back which spoke volumes to me being that I hate waiting and especially with the excitement I had about my first overseas trip. I knew everyone I talked to would have worlds of info about Fiji otherwise they wouldn't have the job they do and was correct. Every person I talked to 'knew' resorts and had plenty of knowledge to offer. Having already looked at more than 50 resort myself before all of this thought I had a great idea of what I was looking for and had already narrowed it down to 5. Three of the other people I talked to did nothing but try to discourage me from where I wanted to go. One in fact insisted on other resort so much I had to hang up on her because she would not listen to me. You did. My fiance and I wanted to stay in one resort for 12 days. We DID NOT want to island hop. We're there for relaxing, not packing and unpacking every couple days. It seems to me that if you're planning a trip for someone you may want to listen to what they want. Call me crazy I guess. Others insisted on strict itineraries that included hikes and village visits. Again not listening! We wanted to hang out with nothing to do except what we want to at that time. Spontaneity! You listened, YOU cared, YOU wanted us to what we wanted to do where we wanted to do it, and worked QUICKLY to ensure we could do so. The only other person out of six that agreed to put us where we wanted to go said he'd call me back "in 4 weeks and go from there." I did get a few quotes from other people but not for what we wanted. I even had one lady that spent the first 20 minutes of MY cell minutes talking about her rate. Really? I know you don't do this for free!

After you called with our final quote and we hung up the phone I talked with my fiance and both said instantly we wanted to go with you no matter how much cheaper anyone else could get it for. We simply didn't care at this point because YOU did. We felt like we were your only client! You really made everything easy and fun. We are both VERY 'brand loyal' people who love to travel. I am graduating for Radiology school the month before our marriage and trip to Fiji and will be traveling quite a bit in the future and because of our experience with you on this trip, NO ONE but you or someone at McCoy that you recommend will be helping us plan. I cant thank you enough for your help Lori and I hope you continue the outstanding work.

Vinaka,
