I guess I’m a traveling man.
The call of the inky blue water lapping against the black lava rock shorelines was too tempting. The vision of giant sea turtles drifting gracefully with the tide and the warm tropical breeze flowing across the bow of our ship was too great to resist. So, we’re going again.
Nancy and I are taking another cruise to Hawaii and we really owe it all to our travel planner, Robin Norell. She made it all happen.
Robin was magnificent in helping us arrange our 50th wedding anniversary cruise to the Hawaiian Islands last March. She helped book our adventures, including my round of golf and a helicopter tour of Kauai. She secured rides to and from airports and hotels, even checked in our baggage on our return trip from Honolulu. Everything went perfectly smooth.
We enjoyed it so much, we vowed to go again. March, though, is mid-season for Hawaii tourists, meaning we paid a premium price.
“Could we go again for a little less?” we asked Robin. She went to work immediately and gave us lots of information, including a recommendation that we try a November excursion when prices were more reasonable. She suggested other cruises that would include Hawaii and other tropical islands. She also said that sometimes the cruise ships offer unbelievable prices on Cyber Monday. Sure enough, she emailed that Norwegian was offering basically the same package we enjoyed in March at a huge discount. They also threw in reduced airfare, free Wi-Fi on board, a special beverage package and other perks. We scarfed it up. About one year from now, we’ll sail again.
We have not used travel planners much in the past, but from now on, before I go to the Downtown Mall, I’ll call Robin first. Not really, but she is terrific. If you have a dream vacation in mind, contact Robin and let her help you make your dreams come true.
