Women Rock! 🔥

Like mother, like daughter 🌺✈️

Yesterday, we celebrated a milestone in our 93-year legacy: our first mother-daughter pilot crew!

Captain Kamelia Zarka and her daughter, First Officer Maria Zarka, flew the Pacific skies together on a Boeing 717 aircraft, operating a series of Neighbor Island flights.

Captain Kamelia joined Hawaiian Airlines as a flight attendant in 1992 before becoming a pilot in 1999, which led her to be the first Tongan woman to captain a commercial airline. First Officer Maria, who flew with Republic Airlines in New Jersey for two years, was hired by Hawaiian Airlines in April 2022.

Big, big myth!! Help me, by telling me what your travel dreams and needs are!
The more I know, the better I can recommend pieces to make a memorable vacation. ✈️

After a 2 year hiatus, I am going back into the Travel Industry! ✈️

In 2017 I started in the Travel Industry as a Stay At Home Mom. Beyond double the loads and double the loves, I was ready to have a piece of me again. My outgoing and curious self. I found travel to be that outlet. A way to help plan and create fun memories for people looking to escape on phenomenal vacations. It became a passion to research and deep dive into new regions or cultures of the world.
It was like reading a book and getting so lost in the writings that you have mentally put yourself in that space.

After taking the time to learn what it takes to be a Travel Advisor, it was time to move on. I moved into a Brick & Mortar agency and learned so much. Yes, I was still doing everything I did before. But, this time I had experienced agents around me to share their knowledge or tips! I was given real hands on experience with the suppliers, destinations, and clientele. The most important experience I got to learn, was that leisure vacation travel is not my only passion. I really thrive at planning the logistics for Corporate Incentives, Meetings, or even Group travel. The thrill of pulling together hundred(s) of people to different destinations to experience core memory events, is such a rewarding feeling!

But as we all know; we grow through seasons and that one had to come to an end.
When covid hit, we were moving to Des Moines and my kids were home 24/7 like everyone else's. It came to me, this new season is going to require more of me to be available here at home for my children.

For the last (almost) year I have been learning... as always! This time in the Hospitality Industry. It has been a blast an I am definitely not leaving! However, it made me realize how much I miss creating memories with people!

If you have stuck with me this far, Thank You! 😊 I wanted to start off by sharing my business back story and why/how LGCI Travel came about!

Tomorrow I will tell you why I am useful to the travelers who just want to get to that beach, and start relaxing right away!! 🏝🏖
