HAWAII
Maui & Kauai
September 5 – 14, 2012
Hawaii is not that special, it’s nice but I wouldn’t want to live here…this is what I thought many years ago after my first week of vacation.
I was going from tourist attraction to tourist attraction seeing beautiful places but I was missing something. On the second week of my vacation I stopped being a tourist, I stopped rushing around, and I took time to feel the spirit of Hawaii and I fell in love with the Islands; I gave my notice at work, left home and moved to Hawaii for an unforgettable year…and the start of my life of travel!
I have designed this trip with time to explore, to relax and to feel the real Hawaii. Many tours go from island to island with a lot of time spent at airports and hotel check-ins. We will be exploring two of the most beautiful islands, with time for sight seeing and time to walk on the beach and watch the sunset. Please join me, I would love to show you the beauty of these two special islands.
