Destination Wedding - Hawaii

 While June is the month for weddings, I cannot help but remember the destination wedding that I had the privilege of attending on Maui.  As you can see from the picture, it was very dramatic. (I'm sitting in the front row on the very left) The slight breeze off the ocean made it very comfortable for everyone dressed in their best Hawaiian attire.  The venue was a private residence in Makena, right on a beach.  The evening reception, on the same beach, was also very spectacular.  Tiki torches lit the night sky.  Hawaiian style food and cocktails were scrumptious.  The seating area was designated by pillars along with long flowing curtains.  Music filled the night air and a great time was had by all in attendance.  I rate this vacation/wedding as my all time favorite vacations ever.  Thank you to the bride and groom!!

Hawaii

I was texting my niece Kris this week about an upcoming wedding. Kris, her husband and two girls live in Hawaii. I have been there to visit but, not as much as I would have liked to. However, I do remember my first visit and my expectations of what I perceived of what I was going to see there. Was my preception correct? Yes, but only in Waikiki Beach.

While Waikiki is beautiful, it is only a small area of Oahu. Kris and her family live in Ewa Beach which is on the South side of the island and West of Waikiki. I would say it has more of a semi-arid climate. The North side of the island is the tropical area where everthing is lush and green. The middle of the island is where the large plantations are and where pineapple and sugar cane is grown. The East and West sides of the island are going to be a combination and with its own micro climate areas. Oahu with it very diverse climate areas is a lot more interesting then a stretch of hotels on a beach. When you visit Hawaii, which should be on everyone's bucket list, give yourself a minimum of 10 days, rent a car and explore the many wonders of Oahu, Hawaii!

GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS!

With the state of the economy over the past few years, it has been widely reported that the need for charities to provide their products and/or services has dramatically increased for those in need. It has also been reported that the donors to the charities have tightened their belts because of the economy. This has led some charities to not be able to provide for every request that has been made of them. Therefore, we are offering an alternative fundraising idea to help boost those donation dollars.

A cruise ship allows you to see exotic locations, experience magnificent sunsets and enjoy aquatic wonders--just like your own, mobile hotel. When you designate your gathering to a group cruise, it only enhances the enjoyment for everyone. Imagine transforming school and family reunions or business conventions to happen abroad. Perhaps throw a birthday or anniversary party, or just have a general vacation for you and your friends. The possibilities for group cruises are limited only by your own imagination.
