If you’ve been dreaming of an island getaway with loved ones like I have, now is a terrific time to start planning that Hawaiian vacation for later in 2020 or early 2021. Blue Sky Tours, Hawaii and I are standing by to help you get there. Aloha!

Resorts along Maui’s Kaanapali Beah — and all over Hawaii - really know how to create lush, beautiful gardens. This lovely specimen is from the grounds of and appears to Jatropha intergerrima (commonly known as Peregrina or Spicy Jatropha). If you really know your plants and see that I’ve misidentified this one, please leave a correction in the comments below. Mahalo!

Silly poses and delicious KetMoRee Thai Restaurant & Bar appetizers were the order of the day at the November Chamber mixer hosted by Davis Ace Hardware. Thank you Amanda Mason (Lyon Real Estate) for inspiring us to use the wide variety of props available to us. I have to remember to go back and get one of those fine cutting boards!

Something about Shaq saying “Bok bok! Bok bok!” with such glee just makes me smile this morning. I guess that’s why HE got the job as Carnival CFO (Chief FUN Officer) and Eeyore did not.

What makes Club Med unique from other resorts or vacation experiences? Undoubtedly the people. To me, they always manage to convey a sense of "We're all in this crazy world together, so we may as well have some fun!"

Gracias, Club Med Cancun. Hasta la próxima.

With crowded holiday flights just around the corner, I think this list from a favorite Hawaii travel blog has some excellent and timely tips for staying healthy when you travel, regardless of your destination. I would add another suggestion (or incorporate this advice into #2 about boosting your immune system): If you're able to get a flu shot, please get one - and get it at least two weeks before your trip to give it time to take full effect. Do YOU have any additional tips you would suggest? Please share yours in the comments below so we can all stay a little healthier during our fall and winter travels!

Tips to survive economy travel on flights to Hawaii. Stay healthy!

It’s quite rare to see a sale or promotion for Norwegian’s very popular 7-night Hawaii cruises. If you’ve thought about taking the NCL Pride of America inter-island cruise, it’s a perfect time to book your voyage. Contact me this week to learn more before the proverbial (and literal) ship has sailed. Mahalo!

Tourism businesses on Hawaii's biggest island are trying to rebound.

Baby cheesecakes from the display case. I didn’t get to taste one, but it would be an understatement to say they looked delicious!

There's good news and important information in this press release; it reiterates the air quality is safe and healthy in the Hawaiian islands OUTSIDE "the lower Puna where lava is flowing, and downwind from there on the island of Hawai‘i." I'm looking forward to providing uninterrupted service to clients who are planing visits to enjoy the unparalleled aloha of the islands. 🌴🌈🍍

I'm cross-posting this one in a few places because it's such a big event for me. Hope to see some of you there!

Today's the day! starts this afternoon at 4:30 in Community Park. If you'll be there, stop and see us at Booth 89 (near the Family Fun Zone) to check out some Club Med 360-degree videos on the Samsung Gear headset.

A Little About Me

I am a professional travel advisor and the owner of ILLUMINATION VACATIONS in Davis, California. I help plan unforgettable journeys so my clients can spend more time enjoying the FUN parts of travel. They get to relax knowing I’m behind the scenes handling the trip details. I specialize in Hawaiian vacations and active resorts, and I also coordinate group travel such as cruises and tours. Here are my Top 3 reasons YOU should find and work with a trusted travel advisor:

1. Time Savings - A good travel advisor has education, experience, and a network of trusted partners. Depending on the complexity of your travel plans, the information we have at our fingertips might save you hours of online searching. 2. Personalized Service - A travel professional gets to know you and your unique needs. We ask questions to get a sense of what you like and - perhaps more importantly, what you don’t. This means we can help you avoid costly mistakes and get the most out of your travels. In addition to serving as your planning assistant, we advocate for our clients if they experience any problems while traveling. 3. Interpreting “Good Deals” vs. “Best Value” - Sadly, many of the travel “deals” and promotions you receive are not quite what they seem. Travel advisors can help interpret the fine print to determine if an offer is truly the best value for YOU. If a bargain doesn’t meet your needs, it’s hardly a bargain.
