In addition to leading small groups to Italy each September I am an expert regarding travel to the Hawaiian Islands and especially to Maui.  I visited the Hawaiian Islands the first time in 1982.  Since then I have traveled to Hawaii more than twenty times.  Since 2006 I spend four to five weeks on Maui each year. I am knowledgeable regarding hotels, beaches, golf courses, gardens and activities. I have visited Haleakala crater, Iao Valley, the aquarium and the road to Hana.  I am knowledgeable about various activities that are popular on the island including whale watching, snorkeling, golf, fishing, canoes and kayaks, dinner cruises and sailing. I am familiar with a favorite beach where giant sea turtles come to sleep each evening. In addition to my experiences on Maui I have visited Oahu, Kauai, Lanai and Hawaii.  I have visited pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu.  I have arranged day trips by plane from Maui to Oahu to visit Pearl Harbor. I have visited Kauai including a helicopter ride around the island.  I have traveled by boat to Lanai to snorkel and to see spinner dolphins. I have visited the big island of Hawaii three times and each time I have visited the Hawaii Volcanoes National park and each time I have seen active lava flows.  I have flown by fixed wing aircraft over active lava flows on the big island of Hawaii.  I have booked clients for vacations on Hawaii, Maui and Oahu including hotels, airfare, car rentals and activities.

A Dream Trip That Opened Us to the World!!

Reviewed By Cathy - Kent, WA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Our trip to Italy and London with Gayle was the most amazing - incredible - beautiful- awesome first time trip to Europe we could have ever imagined- way beyond our expectations!! They opened the world to us - providing personal unforgettable experiences that we will hold in our hearts forever. The attention to detail - focused attention on our comfort - knowledge of the areas - and sense of humor - provided days full of WOWs, fun, laughter, amazing food and wine - and beautiful experiences with the local culture and people. Gayle took care of all the details and planning - putting the trip together was very easy and very personal - targeting what we wanted to see - but dependent on their experience. We will be clients again for our next adventure!

The best way to see Italy

Reviewed By Paul and Vicki - New Richmond, WI | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
John and Gayle provided the best trip experience we have ever had. Italy was always on our bucket list, but the way they showed us the country was truly exceptional. The small group structure allowed us flexability and the time to really soak in the places, people and food at our own pace. Truly a special trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Gayle McKay responded:
I love to work with people to customize the trip to focus on their interests. With clients who participate in the planning process it is easy to provide a truly special trip. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and for this review

Awesome trip planner

Reviewed By Julz - Amery WI | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We had a fabulous trip! Gayle did an excellent job of communicating with us, allowing us some unscheduled time, and allowed us to customize our trip with our own preferences. We stayed in lovely hotels. With her experience in Italy, she was able to give us restaurant recommendations. I loved our experience.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Seeing the World

Reviewed By Bob - Minneapolis MN | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We have made several trips with Gayle, repeat customers should say it all. You cannot beat this opportunity, trips can be customized to your interest, her knowledge and experience is reflected throughout the process. For example, knowing when to book popular tourist sites in advance (visiting the cathedral to see the Last Supper in Malan can take hours from you time if not done properly); knowing the best local tour companies to use; the best accommodations, having firsthand knowledge of cafes and unique dining and determining the best modes of transportation all contribute to a great travel experience.
If you have the opportunity to travel with Gayle or use her services you will not be disappointed.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Gayle McKay responded:
Thanks Bob and Kathy
