HAWAIIAN HONEYMOONS ENHANCED BY MY
LOCAL ISLAND CONTACTS

You deal with the wedding! 
Your Hawaiian honeymoon 
couldn't be in more capable hands.  
Forget the clutter of the internet! You'll make yourself crazy.  And don't repetitively check airfares every day, because you'll get a different price each time. 

Take a deep breath and give me a call.  Because you've found the right guy to plan your Hawaiian vacation. And it won't bother me if your partner is on the other extension.  In fact I prefer it that way.  
​                                                                                  Together we'll  design a Hawaii honeymoon you'll never forget. With unique vacation ideas I've discovered during my extensive travels to the Hawaiian islands.

It all starts with a friendly  chat about which Hawaiian islands you'd  like to explore and the hotels you have in mind.  Then I'll craft a personal proposal we can review and revise.  There's no obligation, and I won't barrage you with sales calls.  That's not my style.

But my services go beyond arranging your trip. Once you're in Hawaii, I'm just phone call away. All backed by the resources of my local contacts on the ground in the Hawaiian islands.

If you've never used a travel advisor, you'll find  helpful information here.  It might surprise you  that I don't charge a fee.  And throughout the planning process, you'll only be dealing with me.

ARUBA IN THE DUTCH CARIBBEAN  -  SOUTH 
OF THE HURRICANE BELT

Sugar sand beaches
​are just a nonstop flight away
Shimmering  turquoise waters  cooled by refreshing tradewinds make sun swept Aruba a year round paradise.. You won't find high humidity there, thanks to the desert climate.

​Aruba is one of the Caribbean's most prosperous islands. It's safe there, so you won't be confined to your resort.  Foodies will be flocking to  sample Aruba's many multi-ethnic cuisines, influenced by the wide variety of cultures that call the island home.. And Aruba's restaurants rank as some of the most reasonably priced in the Caribbean.       
​                                                     .                        Watersports and windsurf activities are best in class.
The uninhabited rugged terrain of the the north coast begs exploration by horseback or ATV.  And when the day ends, kick back at a beach bar and take in the jaw dropping sunsets.

Breathless features notable cuisine and top shelf liquors, all  at a newly built 4* resort.  It's the perfect spot for Bachelor and Bachelorette parties, or a stylish destination wedding by the sea. And it's  LGBTQ friendly.
