Nearly 2,000 miles from the nearest continent, Hawaii has always lured travelers seeking paradise, and there is enough beauty and activity in Hawaii to fill more vacations than we could take in a lifetime. During our Hawaiian adventure, we will enjoy waterfalls, gaze at an active and discover black, green, and white sand beaches. The colorful countryside with its small towns and scenic drives, farmers’ markets, craft fairs, and gift shops that carry wonderful island keepsakes, are just some of the highlights of this trip and the things we will experience together. Oh, and make sure to bring your floral dress for our special luau celebration with the locals.A luau, a Polynesian and ancient Hawaiian ritual, is a popular social gathering meant to unite the people of a town in celebration of a significant life event, achievement, war victory, or launching of a new canoe. With our knowledgeable local tour guide, we will sip and savor the foods and drinks, learn about the history and unique Hawaiian lifestyle, but most importantly, I will personally make sure you enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime journey to the fullest. Let’s travel to get to learn the true meaning of Aloha Hawaii! Come join me, solo or two-by-two, enjoy with girlfriends, or make new friends - even share a room with a new friend - we will introduce you ahead of time!

Sincerely, Ann K. Bruntz
