Hawaii Family Vacation

I have meant to send you this email since our return…we had a blast!! We did not want to leave!! All the excursions that you booked for us were perfect. We had perfect seats at the Luau, a wonderful sunset on the Dinner Cruise with great entertainment, and the Van Tour was one of our favorites…great guide…he even stopped at a couple places not on the itinerary for us!! I do think that the Kids had great fun snorkeling and zip-lining. The day of our departure we went to Lahaina and booked one of those blue water whale watching tours for the 6 of us…mom and dad did not go…and that was tons of fun also.

The most spectacular thing was where we stayed the Fairmont Kea Lani was absolutely beautiful and the service there was impeccable…second to none!! Everyone was so helpful and nice!! Scott and I walked hand in hand into the Ocean the morning we were leaving and that was one of the most touching memories that I will ever have considering that I almost lost my best friend before we left!!

I will write more later…just want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! We will be using you and McCoy Travel for future trips for SURE!!!

Aloha,

Great Hawaiian Vacation

Loved the snorkel trip and it worked great because it was like being on a Whale watch tour as well. The Luau was great – everyone enjoyed it. Beach at Kaanapali was fantastic and the Westin is a great hotel – it was packed but to be expected given school vacation week.

The first night at the Ihilani was Valentines day and we did not think to make a dinner reservation in advance and everything was booked. We expressed our concern to the hotel manager and they actually set us up with a room service menu that was fantastic – expensive but fantastic. They comped us a few appetizers and really did a great job. – This confirms my experience with great service from the Marriott.

Mokulele Airlines was great on the trip to Maui. Found out on the way that they do not have a bag agreement with American so it was best to fly back via Hawaiian so the bags could get checked straight through.

However, when I logged in on Friday I was able to get boarding passes for my American flights but not for Hawaiian Air and the line at the airport was the worst I have seen in a long time. It took well over an hour and 15 minutes to check in and I thought we were going to miss our flight- they could not explain why I could not print the boarding passes in advance.

All worked out in the end & we'll be in touch with you for our next trip!

Bottom line Hawaii is paradise after a long New England winter.
