Thanks again for all of your
help. Tokyo's Keio Plaza is a great hotel, and the quad
room was fabulous. Mt. Fuji climbing tour, I am happy
to report that we all made it to the top! The JR pass
is a good investment because train travel in Japan is
so easy. Airport transfers were very efficient
Japan is a bit expensive, but it's such a great place
-- the people are so polite, it's clean and safe, and
we loved learning about a culture so different from ours.
Next time, though, we will have to have you book us a
very easy and relaxing trip to Tahiti!

Sydney was amazing.
We loved the hotel!! The bridge climb and the boat tour
were both great. Kangaroo Island was sooooo different
then anything we had ever done before. The Outback was
exactly how we figured it would be. Hot, dry and a lot
of bugs....lol. The Sounds of Silence dinner is a MUST
for anyone who is over there. We enjoyed it so much. We
also met a lot of really nice people from all over the
world. It was some of the best conversation we ever had
at the dinner. Snorkeling in the Reef was CRAZY!!!!! We
saw so many different types of marine life, it was amazing.
We also really likes Cairns. It reminded us of Daytona
Beach in Florida. I went Bungee jumping on our last day
there. Great experience. Overall, the trip was exactly
what we were looking for, "the trip of a lifetime".
Thank you so much for all your help. You guys hit the
nail on the head with planning the trip and you and your
staff made everything so EASY!!!!!!
Richard
& Erin / Honeymoon in Australia
Just contacting
you to thank you for organising a trouble free holiday
for us. We are still recovering from all the gaining and
losing of days! All destinations were fantastic- loved
Bora Bora and the Jacques Cousteau resort in Savusavu
was paradise. The Coral and fish life in Fiji was spectacular.
You run a wonderful organisation, and all your information
was spot on.
Beverley
& 2 Children...Tahiti & Fiji
I cannot find
one negative thing about the whole 18 days. New
Zealand was just beautiful. Everything went perfectly
according to schedule. Thank you again for the wonderful
job you did for us. We can’t wait to use you again
on our next adventure.
Vicky & Walt..
Our Tahiti trip
was absolutely fabulous!!!! We couldn’t ask for
any better. Everything worked well – transfers,
inter-island boat/ plane trips, etc. Thanks so much. We’re
glad that we stayed at the Intercontinental La Moana rather
than the Thalasso, though we did like their pool and spa
facilities, which we took advantage of. Our over-the-water
bungalow was amazing.
You guys were great to work with and we’ll definitely
keep you in mind for our next trip, even if it is not
in the Pacific!
Darren and Stefan / Honeymooners
We really like Fiji
very much and would consider going back to check out other
islands one day.
Again, we thank you for arranging this trip for us. Your
service was superb, and everything went very smoothly.
We'll definitely contact you again when we're ready to
head back to the South Pacific Islands one day.
Mitch & Daphne..Fiji Islands
Thank all of
you for making my trip happen and having such a great
time while away!! Everything was wonderful and I feel
all of you have done a spectacular job!! ! You run a great
company and wish I could make iit back for the Hagen or
Goroka show once again!! Jeanette - thanks again
for the help with coordinating the trip and answreing
all my questions (the millions of emails and phone calls!!)
Toni - thanks coordinating the Connections. I had so much
fun!! It was a GREAT value for the money. Stayed in some
really great places (that were included!) HIGHLY recmmended
for the younger population (as it is age restricted 18-35).
All in all it was the trip of a lifetime and had a fantastic
time!!

We had a great trip to Aitutaki and Raratonga!!!
You were right, it is a very laid back island atmosphere.
We liked that and the people. We rented a car on Aitutaki
and a one day rental on Raratonga, drove all over the
islands, and after 5 days(Aitutaki) returned the car STILL
with a full tank of gas!! The Aitutaki Adventure Lagoon
cruise was AWESOME! It was the highlight of the trip!
Puna, the captain was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
We had a great time and highly recommend you and your
travel agency. Thanks for all your recommendations, they
were right on. We expect to return to the Cooks in the
next year or two and we will definetely keep you in mind
with our booking plans!!

Thank you so much
for putting together my trip to Moorea and
my diving on the Great Barrier Reef.
My trip to Tahiti was first class even with a day of rain!!
The Pearl Resort Moorea is heaven on Earth. The small size
of the hotel allows for everything to be a "near personal"
experience. It was everything I expected and so much more.
Yet, even when I thought Moorea couldn't be topped it was!
I cannot say enough great and wonderful
things about Pro Dive in Cairns, Australia.
Their service, the boat, their recognition of dive safety,
the food, everything was first class. I cannot thank Pacific
Destinations enough for all that you did and for making
my summer one I will never forget. You are a first class
destination center and I most certainly will use your
services again in the future. It was an amazing summer!!
Thank you for everything you did and for all your hard
work. Many thanks.
Melissa
P. Tahiti & Australia
Although we REALLY didn't want to,
we have returned from Fiji. To say Navini
Island Resort was the highlight of our best trip
ever would be a gross understatement. It was more than
I/we could have ever hoped for or imagined. It was our
idea of paradise. We all intend to return, together or
separately. It has to be the best kept secret of Fiji.
I suggest that you recommend it to your clients. Thanks
for setting us up. You listened closely to what I was
dreaming of -- and then found it!
With great appreciation!
Charlotte
D. / Family Reunion - Fiji
Our trip to Australia
& New Zealand was fabulous! All the planning
and the arrangements and accommodations you made for us,
made all the difference and were "right on" in
terms of what we were looking for and expecting.
We could not
be more pleased with the trip and itinerary you arranged
for us. It was everything we expected and more. Thanks
again for choreographing our "trip of a lifetime".
Ken & Renee C.
Dave and I got
back from Malolo Island Resort
in Fiji last week and it was Fabulous! The resort
was wonderful--charming bures, good food, beautiful water,
lots of hammocks. It was truly paradise. All of our transportation
transfers were fine and Rosies travel agency made it very
easy to get around. We'd recommend the trip to anyone. Thanks
for all your help and advice!
Courtney
and Dave P. - Fiji
The trip was fantastic.
The most exciting trip we have ever taken (and that is saying
a lot after our 2 weeks in Botswana last year). Every flight,
pick up, connection, etc. worked perfectly.
Papua
New Guinea was wild. The tour guides from TNT was
great in every location. The diving in Walindi was awesome.
The Madang experience was great also.
We loved the Harbor
Rocks Hotel Sydney. Great atmosphere and location.
Loved taking the ferry to the Aquarium (best one we have
ever been to)! So, thanks again, it was a perfect
trip!
Frank

The New
Zealand vacation was very enjoyable despite some
very nasty weather at times. We were very fortunate most
days to stay a jump ahead of the weather. All of the hotels
were nice and both of the bed and breakfast stays were awesome
with extremely gracious hosts that made us feel very welcome.
I would highly recommend the California House and Ruby House
to my friends and family.
The aircraft that we made our final
leg on was small (approx 16 passenger) and there is a weight
restriction of 20 kg for luggage. The people at Air New
Zealand understood that overseas clientele would probably
have heavier luggage, which in our case they accommodated
at no surcharge.
Once again I would like to thank you
for your help and professionalism in making this vacation
a very memorable occasion.
Lori
& Scott B. - New Zealand
Everything you planned for us in New
Zealand was perfect...and we are very grateful.
The extreme highlite, of course, was the Tepapa Museum
in Wellington. Almost all the B&Bs were wonderful
and comfortable. Several stood out. Brenton Place was
one of the most pleasant with John and Rose as our hosts.
Next was the home of TeRakau in Awatuna - wonderful people
and accommodations. We could have stayed there longer.
The final was in Dunedin where we were upgraded and treated
like royalty. Pickups and limo transfers were perfect.
Sally
and Larry Herbert - New Zealand
We were very pleased
with the accommodations in New Zealand.
The Toyota was perfect and being a diesel, it delivered
good mileage. It was a great car to drive and I enjoyed
the challenge of driving on left.
We are most appreciative
of all your efforts on our behalf. We did not have a glitch
of any kind. Everything went off as planned and the excellent
arrangements and planning made our traveling easier.
Ed
and Judy B. - New Zealand
We just got back
from our 2+ week adventure to Australia.
We both wanted to thank you for a great job at planning
our vacation. It was literally paradise. There were no booking
problems, no flight problems, no transfer problems, no day
tour problems. The whole trip went incredibly smooth and
the places and excursions you recommended were perfect.
We will definitely pass along your company as a reference
and appreciate all of the time and planning you spent.
Shay
and Andrea S. - Australia
Thank you for
all the hard work you did for us last spring. It was a wonderful,
wonderful trip. Your planning, organization and implementation
was superb! All your reservations and vouchers came off
without a hitch.
Our month in New Zealand
was perfect. Auckland was great and the Imperial Hotel 2
bedroom unit overlooking the harbor was perfect.
Once to Australia,
our adventures became more scheduled, according to your
itinerary. You were right; the CORAL TREKKER is not a winner,
though a lovely square-rigger. The WINDJAMMER was a lovely
boat, and we were well taken care of.
I would suggest spending the little
bit extra and taking the stateroom over bunkrooms.
Our Rain Forest trip was great: the
Daintree Heritage Lodge were excellent. We loved Port Douglas.
Kakadu camping was another experience which I would not
change, though I am not sure I would recommend it to the
faint of heart. It was hot, humid, fetid tents and sleeping
bags, mosquitoes and rain. But was wonderfully organized
and congenial. All of Alice Springs and Ayers Rock were
great. Loved Coober Pedy, the mine tour, Kangaroo Island
and Tasmania. Sydney was wonderful, especially staying at
the Russell, which is definitely 'quaint', and great location!
Adams/Griffiths - Party of four (2 couples). 3 month trip New Zealand and Australia
We want to express
our gratitude for all the thoughtful planning that went
into the itinerary to Australia and New Zealand
that you set up for us. As one of our friends said when
she read over the schedule and saw our photos, "how
did she know what you wanted?", to which I replied,
"well, she asked me several questions about our interests,
budget and desires, and then tailored the program to fit.
We feel that was the key, however,
your detailed local knowledge played a huge role in us getting
the right mix of tours, wonderful B&Bs, and time to
ourselves via the rental car/self-drive approach. Our schedule
suited us to a "T", and I feel sure that you would
take the same approach in designing a trip for someone with
different needs and interests. Given the time constraints,
our trip was exceedingly "time efficient and effective!"
We experienced a great deal of 'Down-under', and look forward
to our next trip."
Fred &
Jan Hodder - Turlock, CA.
Our clients, Dale
and Margaret Bain along with grandson Tyler, have returned
from their journey "down-under" and
to points beyond. First and foremost I want to let you know
that every-thing went without a hitch. They particularly
enjoyed the cruise on the Discovery around Papa
New Guinea. The ship was small and quaint which
they really liked. The New Zealand package
went very well, just not enough time there. All is well
and our clients had a wonderful time. Thank you for you
hard work and efforts, we'll be back for more!
Brent Anderson
- Wycoff World Travel, Owner
We are responding
to your nice "Welcome Home" letter to let you
know that we had the BEST time in New Zealand!
What a beautiful country with the nicest people. Thank
you so much for making the arrangements and suggestions
that helped make New Zealand spectacular and unforgettable
for us.
Karen & Michael Meskin
- Oregon
My wife and I
would like to thank you and your organizaton for providing
us with superlative B&B accommodations and hosts during
our New Zealand stay!
Paul & Margaret LaPierre
Thank you for
your efforts putting this trip together so well and quickly
for me. The itinerary was nicely presented and invaluable.
It was a dream come true to see the Sydney
Opera House, the breathtaking views at Queenstown
in New Zealand and I hope to revisit Fiji one
day.
Mary Nemic,
New York
Thank you for
all that you did to pull together a fantastic honeymoon
for us back in November. I fully realize that we were probably
the clients from hell, as we consistently changed our focus
relative to areas we wanted to visit within Australia.
We had a wonderful 2 1/2 weeks down under and can't wait
to visit there again.
Tim
& Kristen Clarke, San Francisco
