Hawaii Weddingmoon

Hi Mike,

1st let me say thank you for all your hard work for putting together our wedding/honeymoon last June 2008. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you & thank you. We stayed at the Prince & the Hyatt & we had the absolute most amazing trip. We couldn't have done it out you & your service. You were so patient we us, as we changed our minds a 1000 times, & asked 1000 questions. You are extremely talented at your job, & will be forever a part of making the best week long memories. Please let the owner know how valuable we think you are.

I just checked out some of your vacation packages for the anniversary date of june 6th of this year. Please keep us in mind if something comes up.

Again THANK YOU for everything, & wishing you a prosperous 2009

Thanks,

Fiji Dream Honeymoon

Hi Mike,

Well, I've been meaning to do this for a long time and finally have a quiet moment. I decided not to send you a bunch of pictures from our honeymoon since you definitely know what everything looks like. Instead, I'm sending a picture of RJ and me because you don't know what we look like. This was taken at Taveuni before dinner one night.

Anyway, I don't know if I ever formally thanked you for all your help with planning our honeymoon. We really had the absolute dream honeymoon, and I loved that all we had to do was show up. Everything was taken care of for us, and we didn't have to figure out anything. That was soooo nice. You did a wonderful job of arranging and rearranging everything for us. Thank you so much!

Taveuni Island Resort was the best place I have ever stayed - from the privacy to the accommodations to the food and staff - it was perfect. We weren't thrilled with the beach but found plenty other stuff to do. Likuliku was fun too but we really just hung out by the pool the entire time we were there.

I really don't know why so many people refuse to use travel agents in the age of the Internet. You guys are so helpful, and the Internet isn't always cheaper. Plus, for someone like me who hates logistics, you guys are super heroes.

Ok, that's it. I'll definitely be keeping you in my contact list for future island excursions.

Thanks,

Hawaii Vacation

Hello,
Happy New Year to you and your staff. First of all, forgive my late response…coming home from the trip of a lifetime and following it up with Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year is a bit daunting, and believe me—takes up A LOT of your time!

I do want to let you know that the service that Michael Byrne provided us was paramount. He answered every stupid little question I had, and trust me—I had a lot of them. He had us set up with a great hotel—we stayed at the Hyatt in Maui and thought it was just lovely. The absolute only problem was one, little cockroach…but hey, we’re in the tropics and that happens, right? Other than that, I thought I was a queen. The staff there, the food there---all of it—absolutely beautiful. Our plane ride was uneventful…which is the best you can ask for in a plane ride—we even arrived a bit earlier than we were supposed to, so that was great as well.

Michael put us in touch with Brenda LeBrun (to help us reserve activities) —who was absolutely WONDERFUL!! Brenda and I hit it off like two old friends. She is great—and she knew the island inside and out. She recommended and booked awesome things for us to do. We ziplined, went horseback riding, took a road to Hana tour, went snorkeling—just about every great thing you could do on Maui. She booked us with a great snorkeling tour…never in my life did I see so many beautiful fish! Not to mention swimming around with the turtles at turtle-town…that was a real treat, something that will always be remembered! I’m not sure of the tour company that took us through Hana, but our guide…her name was Pu---was absolutely fantastic! She shared so many great facts and stories with as she drove us through the beautiful scenery. We learned so much about the island and the native Hawaiian people from her, it really was so much more than we expected.

I will be sure to log onto TripAdvisor.com and share all my experiences with your staff and suppliers…and believe me, as soon as we can---we will be contacting Michael again and coming back to Hawaii for another visit!

Thank you very much!!

Amazing Tahiti Vacation

Hi Melissa & Faye,

Mat and I had the most amazing time in Bora Bora. The St. Regis was a beautiful place to stay and the food was excellent at all of their restaurants. Although we would have been perfectly content to sun our selves and swim from our bungalow everyday we were amazed by all the culture and natural beauty this island has to offer. We were already planning an anniversary trip by the end of our stay! Faye helped make everything hassle free from travel to our meals and spa visits at our resort. Before we left our travel, meals, and hotel were taken care of providing for a stress-free honeymoon. Thank you for an amazing trip!!

Take care,

Hawaiian Vacation

Aloha to every one at McCoy Travel .....
Our trip did not start out very well (not your fault). Our plane was delayed 9 hours leaving Las Vegas.
Mike Brown, as always, was wonderful. The lady I talked to at your customer service was very kind and helpful. We finally made it to The Grand Hyatt on Kauai. The hotel was absolutely beautiful and all the employees there were beyond fantastic. All and all very one had a wonderful time.

Thank you, especially Mike Brown, for all your help with this trip.

Best Regards,

Fantastic Maui Vacation

Aloha Tish,

I have just arrived home after a fantastic visit to Maui. Your expertise in providing me with the correct snorkeling equipment, including prescription glasses, ensured that I would have a fabulous time swimming with the turtles and snorkeling in the ocean. Thanks once again for making my holiday so memorable.

With kindest regards,

Australia - New Zealand - Fiji

Hi Faye,

We had a blast...! Everything went really great and the motels were very nice..the train system in Aus is wonderful! No problems. New Zealand was amazing and we loved all our excursions...really loved Queenstown and John bungy jumped which nearly gave me a heart attack! We loved driving in New Zealand down to Milford Sound...very worth the trip...wish we had had more time to explore the wineries in the area, too.

Fiji was not our favorite and we stayed there way too long. The resort was nice but remote so we could not get around well to explore...wish we had booked another Island and more excursions away from the resort. In fact maybe we should have stayed downtown in the harbour/port area as a base and excursions out from there...NO KIDS at the resort John's age and no night life...they must have all been in the port city and off on other Islands. He was bored with me I'm sure but he caught up with his rest and reading.

Overall, we had a blast and really enjoyed ourselves. Aus was great and I loved Newcastle and the small towns we went thru by train.

Thanks again for all your help in securing this trip.
Take Care - Thanks,

Wonderful Hawaii Vacation

Hello Holly,

Happy New Year! We're just back from our wonderful vacation at Mauna Lani Point. We want to thank you very much for your help with our condo and luau reservations. We absolutely loved the Mauna Lani. It was perfect for us. We had a lot of fun at the Fairmont luau (excellent food and entertainment). All logistics were pre-handled and we had no problems at the Point or Fairmont when checking in.
Thanks so much! We will call you in the future - because we are hooked on the Big Island and we will want to get back in the next 12-18 months.
Best,

Happy Holidays in Fiji

Lori,

Good evening. The trip was amazing. It was very relaxing, and the calm atmosphere was just what we needed.

I thought the flight in was great, it really let's you see part of the island that you wouldn't see from the coast. We were also glad to have taken a car on our return trip, it gave us an interesting view of the villages and locals. We had an Indian driver that was very knowledgeable.

The resort was great, we had Thanksgiving dinner with the GM and the owner who were both gracious. They asked us how we had heard about the resort and we told them your name. They were very aware of the number of guest you send them.

The resort itself was great, the rooms were very clean and nice, and the plunge pools really made the place fantastic. The employees were extremely nice and that added touch made our stay even more enjoyable.

From an activity stand point, we did everything we could, my daughter went zip lining and I did the shark dive. All 3 of us went out to the resort owned island for a day of snorkeling. My wife and I saw a 6 ft reef shark swim under us, right before we had our grilled lobster and chicken lunch.

If there was any negative feed back we had, it would be the snorkeling right off the beach of the resort and the water quality. We didn't know that most of the rivers are polluted on the main island and that most of the reef is dead on the coast. The only other item that was unexpected was the set up at the resort. It seemed like the resort wasn't really sure what it wanted to be, a resort or property development company. While we very much enjoyed the resort, it seemed as if the owner had changed their direction and wanted to sell the property rather then focus on the "Resort experience". The only down side here was that the food was somewhat average.

We made some great friends, but we don't know if the resort will be there in the next few years to return.

My family and I agree that we would go back to Fiji again, but we would want to stay on an island with a lot a reef around it that we could just walk into the water and snorkel for hours. I'm sure there are a lot of resorts like this, in fact if I recall you recommended we try two places....my bad! :)

We are already starting to plan our next trip, I enjoyed working with you and hopefully you can help us on our next adventure.

I think you can sum up what we are looking for in two things, a really nice resort with great food, and untouched reefs that are warm and thriving with life that can be accessed right in front of the resort.

Thanks again for all of your advice, the resort over all was great and very cost effective.

I believe you also specialize in Tahiti, please feel free to send me any recommendations you might have.

Have a great holiday!!!

Hawaii Blessings

Auntie Tish,
We just arrived back in Southern California from Kihei. I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for ALL your help and your kindness. The volcano bike ride & the Blue Water Raft snorkeling were among our favorite adventures! It truly was one of the best weeks our family has ever had & it was incredible being able to handle EVERYTHING through you!
You made everything better with your great attitude. May the Lord shower your life with blessings as you continue to bless others! We will be back in 2010 and we WILL see you again!!!

Hawaii Holiday

Hi Melissa,

We had a great time in Hawaii! We were in Honolulu for two days and visited Pearl Harbour. The tour was very interesting and enjoyable. We then traveled to Kaua'i for five days and loved it! Everything was so BEAUTIFUL! I never knew there were so many different shades of green! We took a helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. The views were awesome! It was a little rainy that day, but overall it was very nice. The Resort was our favorite part of our trip. We upgraded to an ocean view room and were so glad we did. The beach was just steps away from our room. We attended the luau there and loved every bit of it. The food and entertainment were both excellent.

We flew American Airlines. I guess the worst part was the return flight. We had two connections coming home and it was a very long day for us. We left Lihue at 10:00 PM and finally got home to Amarillo, Texas by 2:30 PM the next day. We would have loved a direct flight to Dallas and then just that short flight to Amarillo. That would have been so much better. Also, we had to pay for in-flight food. It was expensive and really not very good.

Anyway, thanks for an amazing trip! (Hiapo and Melissa were both very helpful with arrangements.)
We are so glad that we used McCoy Travel. Everything went very smoothly for us.

Sincerely,
K. Finley

Australia Vacation Bliss

Hi Melissa & Faye,

We had a wonderful time, everything worked out perfectly. I thought the Sydney Harbor hotel was in the perfect location for getting to the Circle Quay/Harbor and downtown events. The concierge was very helpful and the view of the Opera House was memorable. We took a trip to the Blue Mountains and had a great time. The bus tour was fun and the Bridge Climb is a "must do" in Sydney. Wildfire Restaurant in The Rocks was great and the The Quay Seafood Chinese Restaurant was surprisingly good.

In Cairns we took the Poseidon reef trip and I highly recommend it. The hotel there was great. We did have to hassle for king size beds. But it only took an hour and we ate while we waited so no big deal. We marveled at Fox Bats that landed in the hotel's trees, flipped upside down and crawled up and down the branches.
The Gold Coast is unrivalled. I have spent a lot of time at Destin, Florida and Gulf Shores, Alabama and though these were huge beach developments but they have nothing on the Gold Coast. The hotel there and the Ocean Premium Rooms were the best of the best.

Overall were would not change anything and the weather was wonderful. Australia is a fantastic place to visit.
Two recommendations. Consider having breakfast included in all room reservations. Breakfast is expensive in AU. We had the 45 dollar buffet included in the room charge at one hotel which was a good idea. Overall we would make no changes, had a great time, and highly recommend your service. My mom and her brother are traveling to AU and New Zealand in January. I will give you her contact info.

Thanks,
