Friends,

I am proud to live in the greatest country in the world. This weekend we celebrate our independence. I am pleased to say that my daughter that lives in Chicago came home for the holiday weekend.

I love being with friends, with family, taking a day off of work, watching fireworks and celebrating.

I hope you get to spend some quality time with family and friends this weekend. (And while you are at it, maybe discus a family vacation or a get away with some friends).

I want to thank each and every one of you for reading my weekly newsletter, I hope you all have a very happy, healthy and SAFE holiday weekend.

 Resort Villas

7/4/08

 

Not so long ago Art and I tried a new experience.  We did a condo in Florida with another couple.  We were not sure if we would like it as we always have done hotels only.  Let me tell you it was fantastic.  The reason I am bringing this up is because this property reminds me of our trip only it is in Maui.

     The Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas actually are two u-shaped buildings with different lobbies.  These villas are phenomenal.  Everything you could possibly need to feel at home is in these villas.  The kitchen has a glass cooktop stove, full size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, dishes, detergent, glasses, blender and silverware.  There is a built in washer and dryer, a pull out couch, color TV, DVD player, cordless phones and a private lanai. The beds are all sweet sleepers and ultra-comfortable.  All units have a whirlpool tub with separate shower.  The amenities include a heated pool, children’s pool, Jacuzzi, lighted tennis courts, BBQ’s gas grills for out door cooking, business center, meeting/banquet rooms, concierge, game room, fitness center, beauty salon, gift/sundry shop, pool bar and grill and even two general market stores right on property.  These markets offer many pre-made food options also.

   They make it so easy for you to be here, that you can even preorder your food to be there when you arrive.  There are daily housekeeping services so you still feel like you are on vacation but better because you feel at home.  There is a dining room and a living room with couches. In some units you can actually sleep 5 comfortably.

     If you want time alone there is also a Keki camp for kids to attend.  It also offers them things to do on the occasional rainy day.

     The hotel has direct beach access, as well as an intricate pool area with tropical landscaping, palm trees and plenty of lounge chairs.

   There are three restaurants on property also.  The Ke’kaa Terrace is unbelievable.  We were fortunate enough to have dinner there one evening.  The food was exceptional.  The presentation alone was breathtaking.  Everything was so good that we all asked to taste each others meals.  I have been to many exceptional restaurants and this was right on the top.  If you do not stay on property, at least make a reservation for a dinner here while in Maui.  You will not regret it.

 

Please remember that we have “bulk air” to Vegas on the commercial carriers if we sell the whole package.

I also have “bulk air” to almost all of the Caribbean on United Airlines with a change of planes in Dulles. I CAN sell this air only (for those of you with time shares). So please don’t think of me as just the person to handle your gambling needs, think of me as your “Leisure Provider” (I like that term).

Please remember that Gamble America does not just do Gambling stuff anymore. I also specialize in cruises, Mexico, Jamaica, all the other islands, Hawaii, and parts of Europe.

If you need to book a ski vacation, or Disney, or Hawaii, you can find the best deals at my totally bookable website. 

Many people are under the impression that they will get a better price by booking their vacations online. That is usually false, by booking with a travel agent (like me), we will almost always find you a better price than booking online, and if not it will be the same price as the online booking with one big difference, WE GIVE SERVICE!!

What I mean is that it does not cost you any more money, and if you have a question or a problem, you have someone to call.

Book on most of the big online companies and if you have a question, you have to email someone. Try it, you’ll like it!
