Photographers Paradise!
Even For The Novice!
From A Happy Clients' Sunset Cruise on Kauai!
Pack those iPhones and cameras, you'll want professional-looking photos reminding you of this destination! Hawaii ranks among the most romantic places on earth for good reason. It has everything-stunning landscapes, pristine beaches, mesmerizing waves, exotic flowers, and gorgeous sunsets-that make for a fabulous vacation destination. Say "Aloha" to Hawaii's oldest island! Known as the 'Garden Isle' for its lush green forest and beds of tropical flowers, vacations to Kauai promise breathtaking scenery. Only three percent of Kauai is drivable, so wander "holoholo" (for the fun) around to your heart's content!
Adventure seekers can find things to do like hopping in a canoe and paddling up the Wailua River, or sailing across the Nā Pali Coast on a sunset tour, to a unique adventure - mountain tubing through an old sugar plantation's irrigation canals! But, if you love quiet, unspoiled beaches blessed with a sunny climate, you'll feel right at home in Kauai.
Napoli Cliffs - The Lookout Near Mile Marker #18
Discover hidden gems, must-see landmarks, and best attractions and excursions on the island! Don't miss a chance to stop at the scenic overlook (on Waimea Canyon Drive at mile marker #23 and drive to the end near mile marker #18). Your reward is a vast panorama of the dagger-like green cliffs and deep gorges of the Kalalau Valley, most significant on the Na Pali Coast. Set at 4,000 feet elevation, the lookout is the perfect spot to snap seriously breathtaking souvenir photos.

Perfect your "lazy day"! Say "Aloha" to Hawaii's oldest island! If you love quiet, unspoiled beaches blessed with a dry and sunny climate, you'll feel right at home in Kauai. Did you know? - Kauai is the lushest and tropical of all of the Hawaiian Islands. Waterfalls cascade onto the valley floor from tall, mist-shrouded peaks, and rivers crisscross the island. Kauai, blessed with white beaches and stunning natural beauty, offers a wide selection of sports and activities. Hawaii's amazing hiking and sailing destinations on the northwest Na Pali Coast, whose jagged cliffs, deserted beaches, and crystalline water truly define the perfect Island experience.
Escape to paradise at the Kauai Beach Resort, a breathtaking oceanfront resort on a 3-mile beach on Kauai’s eastern Coconut Coast. This luxurious beachfront resort features 25 magnificent acres on Kauai’s longest shore where the white sand and blue ocean will enchant your spirit. Providing a quiet, romantic resort experience that's just 10 minutes from the airport in Kauai's eastern-shore town of Lihue. The chickens, ducks, and swans that flock to the sprawling man-made lagoon on this 25-acre property may be the busiest creatures here!
Activities on-site reflect this emphasis, with varied classes in lei-making offered daily, a traditional sunrise ceremony on the beach once a week, hula lessons, a hula show, and a Hawaiian moonrise chant and discussion taking place weekly. Try feeding of the koi fish in the stream around the restaurant most mornings, there's yoga on the beach, scuba and snorkel lessons in the pool, plus there's an orientation offering an opportunity to sign up for island tours and other activities. Did I mention there is live music nightly, and a weekly jazz show at Shutters Lounge?
Hop in one of the lagoon-style pools or recline in a lounge chair or underneath an umbrella! Maybe take a turn on the waterslide & then make yourself comfortable on the beach! Discover a tropical landscape of cascading waterfalls, exotic lagoons, and striking rock-scapes. Enjoy a refreshing swim in one of four swimming pools, including two lagoon pools with waterfalls and a 75 ft lava tube waterslide, and a sand bottom pool. There’s another for the kiddos, complete with a sandy bottom and a waterslide. There are two hot tubs to relax in, and poolside lounges to doze off in!
Grab a leisurely lunch poolside or at the bar in an outdoor casual setting. Whether you’re craving decadent burgers and nachos, a local-style plate lunch or lighter fare, like wraps and salads, it's here! - whatever you’re craving. Finish it off with a frozen cocktail or a chocolate frozen banana – delicious! Your Starbucks coffee is available throughout the day, and there’s the Naupaka Cafe at the back of the gift shop for light snacks.
Dine on delicious island cuisine at Naupaka Terrace Restaurant, have a poolside snack at Driftwood Bar & Grille or enjoy refreshing drinks and island music at Shutters Lounge.

I Speak Your Language!
And so does everyone in this eclectic and modern city! Vibrant and energetic, Amsterdam is a city that has something for every kind of vacationer! In fact, I've been here many times and will go back soon! In my opinion, there are few places that manage to combine the quirky with the elegance and make it seem like a match made in heaven; however, this is exactly what you will find on a vacation to Amsterdam.
It's not the pot laden city you think it is. It's the most cosmopolitan city in Europe - in fact, it's dubbed the New York of Europe!! Whether you’re a culture vulture looking to delve into history, a shopaholic in pursuit of some retail therapy, just craving a little R and R, relaxing aboard a boat on one of its elegant canals, exploring the city’s many museums, or even taking a foodie walking tour, they even have cheese & wine tasting tours (I did this & I highly recommend this!), Amsterdam is just waiting to be discovered.

With Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport and the city center only minutes away, the Crowne Plaza Amsterdam-South is one of the best situated hotels in Amsterdam, whether for business or pleasure. Relax with a glass a wine in the Manhattan Bar or on the outdoor terrace. Enjoy delicious Dutch cuisine in the One-O-One restaurant, food and drink options offered throughout the day, from fine dining to lighter meals, and buffet breakfast all available for a fee.
The design of the rooms is inspired by the natural, warm, relaxing tones. Rooms offer thoughtful touches like pillow menus, and bathrobes, plus free WiFi, free wired Internet, and 24-hour room service. Plus, cable TV, free weekday newspapers, safes, and complimentary bottled water. There is a pillow menu available, and televisions come with cable channels and pay movies. Bathrooms include bathrobes, slippers, complimentary toiletries, and hair dryers.
This area is the new urban center devoted to international commerce and knowledge development. The location is unique as Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport, the RAI Convention Center and the city center are only a few minutes away by public transport. You'll find in the direct surroundings of the hotel, bars, and restaurants where you can go for lunch, dinner or a drink. The nearest bus and tram stop is just 500 feet away. There are excellent transportation services around the city. Dam Square is 12 minutes away by tram, and the Central Train Station can be reached within 15 minutes.
The one thing you will find out about the Netherlands is that the country is filled with entertainment, food, history and, some amazing culture. The shopping is said to be the best in Europe. You can rent a bike and cycle around the city’s narrow, cobbled streets one minute, then find yourself pulling up outside a café with a street troubadour providing entertainment the next! It's quite eclectic! Canals are famous in the area and, you will find that Amsterdam is actually ninety islands because of the canals. The islands are linked together with the bridges. It is an amazing place to see.
However, the real joy of Amsterdam is that you can enjoy it at any time of the year. Going in the autumn and winter months will highlight the dramatic architecture whereas a summer visit will see the canals splashed in the sunshine and brought to life with people on their canal boats. Plus it couldn’t be easier getting there with our special this week!
Save a day for the world-class galleries of Amsterdam's Museum Quarter, the Rembrandt-filled Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum. Be sure not to miss admiring Amsterdam's fragrant floating Flower Market.
Rijksmuseum
You'll find cosmopolitan flavors all over Amsterdam. You could start with Japanese sushi or Chinese dim sum dumplings from hip Leidseplein. Or try succulent Argentinean beef in the restaurants that make up the Zentrum district. For a taste of traditional Amsterdam try hearty Dutch stamppot stew made from potatoes and carrots.
Join the locals for a pint of Amsterdam's Heineken lager in the trendy late-night bars of the De Pijp and Jordaan districts. Or spend relaxed evenings at Amsterdam's buzzing Rembrandtplein square sipping coffee and people-watching from open-air cafes, before trying your luck in the nearby casinos. If this is your first vacation to Amsterdam, learn why Amsterdam's nightlife is so famous by joining the other curious tourists in Amsterdam's Red Light District - daring, but perfectly safe.
Break up your vacation to Amsterdam with a trip to the nearby 13th-century city of Delft, famous for its blue-and-white pottery and for being the birthplace of the Baroque painter Vermeer. You'll find pretty botanical gardens and charming canals in Leiden. Spend holidays to Amsterdam wandering around the Keukenhof flower garden where seven million bulbs are planted every year.

Paradise - With a Capital P!
Artwork by John Yato
You go to Hawaii without getting a little "Aloha Spirit" - it's everywhere! Hawaii, quite simply, is paradise. From the lush rainforests and awe-inspiring volcanoes to pristine beaches, and a vacation in the islands can be as adventurous or as relaxed as you wish. You can go from trekking in the jungle to sipping Mai Tai’s on the beach in the same afternoon! On my special, I have you island hopping from 3 nights on Honolulu, then a short flight to Kona (the BIG island) for 4 blissful nights and 5 exhilarating days! And a vacation in Hawaii is like the old Hawaiian proverb: "Live Your Life While The Sun Is Still Shining"!

If Oahu is the heart of Hawaii, then Honolulu is its racing pulse. In this cosmopolitan capital city, you’ll find everything from historic landmarks to fine dining to world-class shopping. Home to the majority of Oahu’s population, Honolulu stretches across the southeastern shores of the island, from Pearl Harbor to Makapuu Point, encompassing world-famous Waikiki Beach along the way. While the Honolulu primps for any media attention, it also brims with summer’s delights. Mangoes and sweet summer fruit add splashy colors to the market stands. Pikake, puakenikeni, gardenia and tuberose grace beautiful lei stands, and Hawaiian music spills onto beaches from sunset-drenched oceanfront lounges.

As you explore Hawaii's Big Island, you'll find many spectacular contrasts...the mighty volcanoes Mauna Loa and Kilauea, lofty snow clad Mauna Kea, the Kau Desert, gorgeous waterfalls, the Puna Fern Forest, and the colorful orchids of Hilo. The island grows sugar, coffee, cattle, and macadamia nuts. Famous Hawaiian landmarks: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Kealakekua Bay, Kailua-Kona, Kawaihae, Parker Ranch, Waipio Valley.

You'll Lose Your Heart
To The Scottish Highlands!
I did! We spent a few days plus the infamous New Year's Eve celebration, with the locals and tourists in Edinburg this year, and I LOVED, LOVED, Edinburgh! From bagpipes and kilts to stories of myths and legends, you can expect the unexpected in Scotland. From a 12th-century castle to a Scotch Whisky Experience the past and present collide in Edinburgh. I seriously am getting back there! With this great package, you too can explore Edinburgh’s rich and varied history and soak up the culture!
Much of the city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and there’s a distinct air of mystery and intrigue everywhere you turn. The highlight of any visit is Edinburgh Castle which dominates the city and is set high atop the volcanic Castle Rock. Immerse yourself in its history and traditions but don’t be frightened by the one o’clock gun salute fired daily (except Sunday) since 1861. Don’t miss the Stone of Destiny, Crown Jewels or Prisons beneath the Great Hall. I love to stop in the pubs, they are cozy, the pot pies are to die for (especially the steak & ale - my hubby's fav) and everyone is really friendly.

Click this link for the Hilton Carlton hotel website
A majestic and imposing building, standing proudly on North Bridge, overlooking the royal mile, The Hilton Carlton Hotel is one of Edinburgh's leading hotels. Only 30 minutes from the airport, you will be in the heart of Edinburgh, steps from Princes Street and Royal Mile. Because of the location, and the compact nature of the city it's easy to visit many of the attractions by foot and relatively easy to get around. It's a 10-minute walk to Edinburgh Castle, and the Holyrood Palace is just a 15-minute walk away.
Edinburgh Castle
Blending nicely into the historic surroundings of the Royal Mile, this hotel is an iconic feature of the city. The building dates itself dates back to the 1900s and is a part of the impressive North Bridge which connects Edinburgh’s Old and New town together, providing you with easy access to countless shopping, dining, and entertainment.
The comfy and modern rooms offer complimentary WiFi access, ergonomic work area and Suite Dreams by Serta® beds with luxurious linens. Select an executive room or suite for extra space and amenities including access to the Executive Lounge, with complimentary breakfast and refreshments.
Want to dine in your hotel? Savor succulent steak cuts and a variety of timeless classics at Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill, boasting a relaxed ambiance and glamorous interior. Unwind in the Nineteen Hundred Bar & Lounge with a cocktail or a range of dishes to suit all tastes. 24-hour room service is also available for your convenience.
Edinburgh, Scotland
One of the world's stateliest cities and proudest capitals, Edinburgh is like Rome, built on seven hills, making it a striking backdrop for the ancient pageant of history. In a skyline of sheer drama, Edinburgh Castle watches over the city, with the echos of gunfire each day when the traditional one-o'clock gun booms out, startling unwary tourists! Visit the dramatic castle sitting high above the city.
Princess Street
Or go shopping on Princes Street for tartan plaids or a terrific cashmere sweater, coat or scarf before dining out in Edinburgh’s world-famous restaurants. You will love shopping in Edinburgh. For upscale, high-fashion finds, including some of the top London designers, make your way to Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. Here, you’ll also find Scottish souvenirs, including whiskeys, trinkets, and tartan.
Haggis
A must-try is Scotland’s national dish, haggis. This savory pudding combines meat with oatmeal, onions, and spices, and its warm, moist, meaty and spicy taste is comfort food you don’t want to miss. Along with traditional Scottish fare, Edinburgh and Glasgow’s menus are filled with amazing seafood, French, Spanish and Italian-inspired cuisine, and an array of international options, including Indian and Thai.
There are tons of things to do here! Board the bus back to the city and get off at either Calton Hill, easily identified by the Athenian acropolis, or Arthur's Seat – an extinct volcano. Both vantage points offer spectacular views of the city and surrounding Forth river estuary and the sea beyond. Edinburgh has a dark and violent history – 100s of so-called witches were burnt or hanged in the city.
The Scotch Whisky Experience
Walking on the Royal Mile, you can have a lot of fun with the Scotch Whisky Experience. All tours start with a swirling, bubbling barrel ride through a replica distillery and before you know it you've become part of the whiskey-making process. You’ll see the world’s largest whiskey collection and of course have time to sample a ‘wee dram’. Guaranteed you’ll leave happier than when you went in!
Take the Ghost Bus Tour around the old town streets on an original 1960s Routemaster Bus, where a team of actors will try their best to give you the chills. Great fun, but be warned – a bit scary. At the end of this fascinating day, it’s time for warming food and drink in the Witchery Restaurant. You do not need to do the tour to go to the "Witchery"! At the gates of Edinburgh Castle, The Witchery is a unique, distinctive restaurant (and hotel) with an enticing gothic appearance, in the shadow of the Castle – I loved it.
