Travel by Tatten Client’s:

When I travel I am always a bundle of nerves about getting there, being on time, what did I forget, getting back and all the things that can make travel not so much fun.

When Linda’s trips come out I always check my calendar and if I can make it, I will go.

She takes care of everything and for once, I can relax and not worry about anything.  That is what travel is supposed to be.

Her women’s groups travels are different, exciting and a great value for what you get.  And there is always chocolate!

Having been both an attendee and a facilitator on many of Travel by Tatten’s Women Only Getaways, I can tell you that I am always impressed with the level of care and customer service that Linda gives to her clients.  Linda carefully researches her destinations, making sure they are ideal for her customers.  I have felt completely comfortable going along on these trips, as Linda is such a good host, and she makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable.

There is a special bond that happens on Women’s Only trips that can last a lifetime.  Some of my happiest memories are of the time I spent with Linda and the other attendees on our Women’s Weekend in New Hampshire back in 2004.  Many of my friends and clients attended these weekends, and they still rave about the camaraderie and fun!  Not to mention the chocolate!

For Itinerary –  hawaii june2012

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 can 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.

Note – my groups are small – we can go into places and restaurants not open to large buses with 48 or 55 passengers.

June 19 – 29, 2012   Hawaii Women’s Getaway

I’m going back to Hawaii in May…come join me on this special trip!

I see so many trips rushing people from island to island without a lot of time to enjoy Hawaii.  So I have designed a trip with time to explore each island and then have time to walk on the beach, watch the sunset - time to feel Hawaii!  Imagine the possibilities…

On our Hawaiian trip we will visit two of the most beautiful Hawaiian Islands:  Maui the Magic Island and Kauai the Garden Isle.  Both islands have been the location of countless TV shows and movies, including George Clooney’s new movie - the Descendants., we will visit the site of this and many other movies.

I will post full information in a few days. 

 Aloha
