AHOY MATES!
We would like to devote this month's newsletter to a very special place - Hawaii
Home to one of the world's most active volcanoes and the world's tallest sea mountain. Birthplace of surfing and the hula. Former seat of a royal kingdom. Hawaii is one of the youngest geological formations in the world and the youngest state of the union. But perhaps Hawaii's most unique feature is its Aloha Spirit: the warmth of the people of Hawaii that wonderfully complements the Islands' perfect temperatures.
Would you like a "Stress Free" way to see Hawaii? How about a cruise? There are seven day round trip cruises from Honolulu or longer cruises that start or end in various cities such as San Diego, Los Angeles, Vancouver or Ensenada. Shore excursions that spotlight the best of the islands' unique history, culture and scenic attractions. The beauty of Hawaii can be seen not only in its lush landscapes and beaches, but also in the warmth of its inhabitants.
If you are a golfer, what better place to cruise and play some of the best courses in the world. Want to set up a golf group? Mike at Cruise Planners is a Certified Golf Destination Specialist who will handle all of the arrangements.
So relax and enjoy this newsletter and the "ALOHA SPIRIT"
