About Me

Hawaii … what’s not to love! I have personally had the opportunity to visit four of the islands; Oahu, Big Island, Maui & Kauai. Each island has something special to offer its tourists. If you’re looking for adventure, romance or a family trip there is something at each island you will love.

When I visited the Big Island I enjoyed snorkeling and observing the beautiful coral and marine life it has to offer. I also walked through Thurston Lava Tube which I highly recommend. It was hard to believe that hundreds of years ago a river of red lava rushed through. The canyons in Kauai are something you don’t want to miss. There are endless breathtaking views throughout your journey. In Maui, the Road to Hana also has many spectacular views and gorgeous waterfalls to discover. There are plenty of things to experience in Oahu as well. One of my favorite being Pearl Harbor, seeing the tears of the Arizona is unforgettable.

As a Hawaiian Destination Specialist for over 10 years, I would love to help you plan your trip to Hawaii. It’s time for you to say aloha to Hawaii!

She always answers all our questions and we seem to have a lot. I would encourage anyone to stop in and visit with her for any travel questions or ideas.
