Dreaming of Hawaii

4/25/2017

0 Comments

 
Romance Travel Group’s Donna Onley was selected to participate in the very esteemed O’ahu Master Specialist program. Achieving the Master Specialist designation is a genuine distinction bestowed upon only the most dedicated and educated Hawaii travel professionals in the industry who complete a series of detailed online workshops and an intense week-long Hawaii immersion trip. Dreaming of a Hawaiian vacation? You will find no one more equipped to make your dream trip a reality. Donna can be reached at 405-642-8929 or Donna@RomanceTravelGroup.com.
 
Need some O’ahu ideas? Below is a list of the Top 10 recommendations to help make your trip to paradise spectacular.

Sunset Dinner Cruise
A number of companies offer sunset dinner cruises on sleek, handsome vessels where your clients can dine, dance and sip champagne or tropical cocktails while enjoying live music under golden skies. 

Fireworks
Every Friday night, the Hilton Hawaiian Village puts on a spectacular, free fireworks show that lights up the skies over Waikiki. It’s sure to set the mood for romance. 

Windward Coast Drive
A leisurely drive up the Windward Coast is filled with tranquil spots that will bring couples closer together. Along the way, they can stop for a picnic at a beach park or wander through the serene grounds of Byodo-In-Temple. 

City Lights
For magical sunset or evening views of Honolulu and Waikiki, suggest your clients make the drive up Puu Ohia (Mt. Tantalus) to see the lights twinkling below. 

Farmers Markets
Oahu’s agricultural bounty as well as engaging local experiences await clients who venture beyond the usual tourist sites to a farmer’s market. Here they purchase or sample local treats like Manoa honey or Waialua chocolate. One of the most convenient to Waikiki is the Saturday morning market at Kapiolani Community College. 

Honolulu Museum of Art
This museum offers changing and permanent exhibits of Western and Asian art in a gracious setting. Available through the museum is a guided tour of Shangri-La, the fabulous 1930s waterfront home and gardens that belonged to tobacco heiress Doris Duke. Art lovers will also enjoy the Hawaii State Art Museum, which emphasizes artworks created in Hawaii. 

Royal Palaces
Honolulu also has two of the only three royal palaces in the U.S. (the third is Hulihee Palace on Hawaii Island): Iolani Palace, filled with splendid architectural detail and priceless artifacts that tell the story of the last days of the Hawaiian monarchy; and Queen Emma Summer Palace, a peaceful country retreat shaded by kukui trees and filled with intimate memorabilia from the royal family. Guided tours of these places will give your clients a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at a vanished era.
​
Lyon Arboretum
Another prime attraction in the area is Lyon Arboretum, a 124-acre botanical garden where visitors can enjoy self-guided or guided walks to see a vast array of native plants as well as a vast collection of taro varieties and fragrant herbs. The garden is an important research arm of the University of Hawaii.

Creating Your Bucket List

4/10/2017

0 Comments

 
“Bucket List”

noun
A list of things a person wants to achieve or experience, as before reaching a certain age or deadline. “What’s on your 2018 bucket list?”
 
We all dream about far-away places and exotic experiences, but have you ever taken the time to put pen to paper as a way to help meet your travel goals? We’re all busy, but taking the time to write down and discuss your ideas is never wasted. Here are a few tips to help you put your bucket list together.

  1. Buy yourself a notebook or journal book of some kind and use it only for travel related entries. Brainstorm ideas, take notes, and elaborate on why you want to go. Destinations can be timeless, like Paris, or up-and-coming, like Cuba. Use hobbies and interests to help guide you. Love wine? How about a tour of Italy wine country? Love wildlife? How about a Tanzanian safari? Love movies? How about visiting filming locales? Let the ideas flow, and watch for new ideas to come along.
  2. Think about what you’d like to do while on vacation in each destination. This goes along with your hobbies and interests, but also what is considered “local” in each location. Knowing this will help determine how to organize your trips and how long you need in each area. Each city has something to offer. What are your “must-do’s” while you’re in town?
  3. Try not to put your travels off for too long. The earlier you begin, the more you can do. Organize your bucket list by age-appropriateness activities. For example, would you rather climb a mountain at 80 years of age, or 40? We all want to be fit and healthy as we enter our golden years, but perhaps checking off the more strenuous adventures should come first.
  4. Look for ways to make it happen financially. Create an account just for your vacation savings and add unexpected extras to it when you can. You can travel during off-seasons, which can also be much more enjoyable and peaceful, allowing you more of a “local” perspective. Remember, goals are easier to achieve when you can see what you’re aiming for. Make that trip deposit! Where there is a will, there’s a way.
  5. Keep your bucket list handy and up to date. Take it to dinner with your spouse or significant other, talk about it, make plans. Make it your treasure.  

​Got a bucket list plan already? We’d love to help make those dreams a reality! We have agents who specialize if destinations across the world who can help. Call us today at 507-237-6133  or visit www.romancetravelgroup.com.
