We
hope you had a wonderful
2006 and that 2007 has some
good things in store for
you. I'm so glad that I
read the book "Who Moved
My Cheese" because it helped
me work through some of
the changes and challenges
that keep happening in our
industry. If you haven't
read this gem of a Book,
consider it. For only 2
hours of your time it might
just help you through the
changes in your life that
you had not planned on.
As we continue to "Move
with the Cheese", we've
had some really new &
rewarding experiences.
McCoy
Custom Travel/Fiji Escapes
Travel/Aloha Destinations/Fiji
Romance Holidays has been
assisting people like you
since 1986 (we started as
Aloha Destinations). McCoy
Custom Travel was opened
as a small agency on Maui
in 1993. We went on the
Internet in 1996 with the
first Fiji Islands Travel
website in the world. We
are one of the top producing
wholesale/retail Fiji Travel
agencies in the USA and
the largest inbound Hawaii
Retail Travel Agency in
Hawaii (not including Pleasant
of course). I, Melissa McCoy,
have lived in Hawaii since
1974 and have been visiting
Fiji since 1991 as a Honeymooner
and Diver. I have visited
Fiji a total of about a
year of my life with multiple
extended stays of over 3
weeks throughout the years.
I have provided Consultation
to several Fiji resorts
when upgrading the resorts
and services to USA client’s
standards and expectations.
I love what I do and I’m
here, we are here, for the
long haul.
We
are now affiliated with
Ensemble Travel Direct,
a Billion Dollar sales organization.
This affiliation allows
us to offer so much more
value to you. So far this
year we have further expanded
our New Zealand and Australia
offering tremendously and
will continue to do so through
the year. Our New Zealand
department will add more
on Food and Wine travel.
We have also added Samoa
and Tonga with Swimming
with Humpback whales in
Tonga being something that
might change your life forever.
We now offer exclusive value
added and resort credits
at resorts throughout Hawaii.
In addition, our Cruise
offerings and discounts
are keeping pace with internet
pricing and we will soon
have an online booking engine
for Cruises offering some
highly discounted cruise
pricing. Now, your favorite
McCoy Custom Travel Consultant
can assist you with travel
worldwide with service and
pricing that you will enjoy.
We can now also assist you
with Europe and Asia.
Since
we are located on Maui,
it is easy for us to experience
the hotels in our own backyard.
There is no doubt that we
have the most complete collective
knowledge you will find
about all the resorts and
accommodations in Hawaii.
Our agents enjoy weekends
at many of the fine resorts
throughout Hawaii. We are
TOP producers with Classic
Custom Vacations and Pleasant
and offer you their fantastic
values and customer service
AND OURS... To make double
sure that your time in Hawaii
is the best we can make
it. We know the hotel sales
staff by name and talk to
them often.
And,
the agents are on the move.....
We’ve had 6 Vacation Consultants
plus myself visit Fiji the
last quarter of 2004. 1
staff member went to Fiji
and Australia in January,
1 staff member just got
back from New Zealand, 2
more staff are going to
Fiji in March. Do you want
the most diverse knowledge
about Fiji? Look no further.
If you added up all of our
days in Fiji (for all staff)
you are looking at about
90 days of experiences in
just the last year. From
new luxury resorts with
plunge pools to the remote
and little known island
of Kadavu, diving and river
rafting, kayaking, snorkeling
and hiking... We have done
it all this year and are
enthusiastic to work with
you to share our experiences,
our enthusiasm and knowledge
with you.
I
turned 50 in 2004 and wandered
off to Tonga for my dream
experience... Swimming/snorkeling
within feet of a mom and
baby humpback whales. It
was incredible. The southern
hemisphere humpbacks go
to Tonga in our summer (their
winter) which is reverse
of Whale season in Hawaii.

pictures of my 50th.. Celebrating
life with the gentle giants.
In November we took my husbands
dream vacation to Africa.
We experienced Cape Town,
Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana
(Chobe and the Okavango
Delta). Stay tuned for more
from us on this destination
as Beth Ivarrson (in my
office and was raised in
Zimbabwe Rhodesia) and myself
work on offering enriching
African Safaris to our valued
clients.

Happy Client letters are

And please read what Expedia/Classic
Custom Vacations, Pleasant Holidays and
Hawaii World,
leaders in the travel industry,
have to say about us.
I
read a quote that made me
laugh, " Even if you're
on the right track, you'll
get run over if you sit
there!!!" "Will Rogers".
So true. We hope the rest
of your year is on the right
track and you don't sit
still.

We’ll fill you in a little
about who we are, our families
and our interests. We have
a unique bunch of people
here at McCoy Custom Travel.
Interesting hobbies, many
supporting charities and
conservation in our community.
We’re not just a virtual
agency, we are a large office
with a Christmas Tree, posters
on the wall and an incredible
view of Haleakala mountain
from our office.
We
hope to hear from soon.
Warm and sunny regards from Maui
