About Me

You TOO can have this view
You TOO can have this view

Fiji is one of those destinations that was life changing for me.

It wasn't just because of the beautiful beaches and water but, more so the people of Fiji. I was able to tour the Northern Islands specifically and had no idea how this area would differ from the more fast paced area of Nadi.

One of the most memorable experiences was the way guests are greeted at the resorts of the Northern Islands. From the moment the doors open on your vehicle you are welcomed with smiling faces and cheerful songs. The staff also bids farewell in this manner at the end of your stay. I felt welcome the whole time and at every property.

An example of this welcoming feeling is when you were asked "How are you today?" They really wanted to know. The other thing I noticed on more than one occasion was when we were shuttling between local attractions it was a common practice to stop to pick up elderly pedestrians walking along the roadside. There is great respect for the elders of the area.

While staying at the Qamea Resort & Spa on Qamea Island I had the opportunity to visit a local school. We arrived toward the end of the day so, we were able to experience their end of the day routine. Here is where I was reminded of my childhood. The children each had a job to do in the classroom before they were excused to the courtyard. Some were sweeping the floors, some were cleaning chalk boards others were washing windows or stacking chairs. Once they were excused to the courtyard the children lined up single file by grade while the principal discussed the days events. After the principal was done talking the Fiji Scouts (their version of Boy Scouts) lead the group in the pledge of Allegiance to the Fijian Flag followed by the lowering and folding of the flag. Once this was done the children were excused to wait for their boat to bring them back to their village.

It was such a wonderful sight to see all the children running and playing soccer in the courtyard! There were no video games! I left this country feeling a sense of peace and like I was saying farewell to family. I will hold those experiences near and dear to my heart the rest of my life.

Client Testimonials

Amazing Alaska with Family
Pam – thank you – everything was amazing! The excursions we booked not through the cruise line made me a little nervous – however they were awesome – so thank you so much for setting those up. I really liked the Celebrity cruise to Alaska a lot better than the Princess one. One of the reasons is that not everyone was 100 years old – made the trip more fun. The only thing the Princess cruise had is that they went into Glacier national park – and while we saw a glacier it was about 1/3 of the size so not anywhere as impressive. We also appreciated the upgrade to Concierge that you got for us that was a nice little touch. The girls loved the birthday Champaign and cake so thank you for that as well. I am so glad we booked through you and not the Twins City Live tour that we also looked at – we got to see all of those folks – however saved thousands by going through you. The Alaska cruise is one of my favorite vacations ever – and it was great to be able to share it with the kids.

Insight Tours
We met Pam when we were planning a trip to Italy. She helped us pick out the tour company that met our needs which was Insight. She also booked a rental car for a few day prior to the tour so we could drive around on our own. Then 2 years later she helped us book another Insight Tour to Greece then 10 days on our own to the Amalfi coast in Italy. We have been very happy with Pam's recommendations and help. It so so much easier for the international travel to work with a professional then try to do it on our own. We also recommended Pam to a friend who worked with her to plan their honeymoon in Fiji. We highly recommend Pam Hallberg

All Things Cruise
I met Pam in 2006 when I was planning my first trip on a cruise. I never traveled before or worked with a travel agent. When I met Pam I immediately felt in good hands. She was very professional, listened to what my plans were and looked at all the options available and presented them to me. Pam arranged everything for me from the air flight, cruise, transportation to and from and flight home. Pam kept me updated to the travel plans, reminded me when payments were due. Pam is very professional, reliable and keeps in contact with you each step of the way. There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for all the hard work Pam does with planning my vacations and ensuring they are handled efficiently and smoothly. Pam always follows up after my cruises to ensure I had a good experience or handles any concerns I may have. Thank you Pam and look forward as always to working with you.

So Much More Than an Airline Ticket
Pam is wonderful. Same price as ordering tickets directly through airline, but so much more in service. She has given us ideas for travel, different prices ranges and wonderful hotels to stay in with reasonable rates. I know I can depend on her for solid trip arrangements.
