Dear Dave,
How are you doing on your
Christmas/holiday shopping? Mine is
definitely coming along. It doesn't
hurt that many travel agencies are in
malls...
I hope the cold, rainy or snowy
weather is keeping you too busy to
start the countdown to the holidays.
Here is a picture of the first snow in
Winnipeg last week while I was there
doing sales calls. All of the agents
seemed happy and that the sun season
would swing into full gear now.
For the first time ever, we are going
to be spending Christmas at our place.
We usually go away so have very few
holiday decorating traditions.
 One
of my only, and favourite, Christmas
decorations is the small nativity scene,
made from olive wood, that I got in
Bethlehem in 1998. It is fun to display
it in a place of honour this year!
Stay
warm and Happy Holidays!

Honua Kai Resort & Spa's 3 great pools
make up our aquatic playground.
We have a
beautiful infinity pool, a great water
slide (for kids or kids-at-heart) as well
as lots of nooks for guests to relax in.
The top part of one of our pools is now a
"quiet zone."
Of course, if exploring the ocean is of
interest, Honua Kai is on a beautiful
stretch of Ka'anapali beach with a great
coral reef right off shore.
Remember that for the spacious 3
bedroom suites, you need to special
request them from our tour operator
partners or from
Honua Kai directly! You
won't see them listed on our partners
online booking engines. These large
suites are perfect for 3 couples
traveling together or and extended
family (max 8 people).

Krystal Cancun FAM
Highlights
|
Just in case you missed it, Sandy sent out
a report highlighting her FAM to the
Krystal properties in Cancun. The
Krystal Cancun and the
Krystal Grand Punta Cancun
are both family-friendly properties on one
of the best beaches in Mexico. In
addition, they are just steps away from
great shopping and the night-club
district.
We are especially thankful to
Sunwing for their valuable
partnership in providing flights for
this FAM. Nexus
Tours was also invaluable
in providing great support and
excursions!
The agents also had a chance to visit
the Krystal
Urban Cancun. It is in
the area of the Malecon Americans in
Cancun. The property offers luxury
and comfort for both business or
pleasure trips.
Also, see all of the updates at the
Krystal Ixtapa
HERE.

FAM report.
