Groups

In Hawaii, two can be a group!

Well, Hawaii was marvelous!

The hotel, Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa was awesome and located in close proximity to the helicopter tour site and the luau site.


We will do this again in about three years; but we want to explore a different area of Hawaii, maybe Honolulu.          

The helicopter tour
company, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Waikoloa was inspiring while taking pictures was a bit of a challenge we did purchase the video of our specific flight which was filmed from the onboard video cameras.


The luau we attended was called "Gathering of the Kings". It retold the story of the settlement of the Pacific. This had to be the best luau on the Island.

The convertible 5.0 mustang rental was a great touch; I didn't let Faye drive any during the entire trip :-)

The temperature ranged from 76 to 88 degrees each day we were there.

Although it was raining on the other islands, the Big Island was sunny and bright the entire time.
 

Thanks again Judy for your personalized service, invaluable information & assistance in helping us create the vacation we won't soon forget!

Below is a recap & photos of the seven day cruise with Comedic Genius JIM STAFFORD and Country Music Star MOE BANDY on Carnival Cruise Lines.  The ports of call leaving from Tampa, FL included:  Isla Roatan Honduras, Cozumel Mexico, Belize City Belize and Grand Cayman Cayman Islands

Update from the Jim & Moe Caribbean Cruise

On January 2, 2011 we boarded the Carnival Cruise Lines mega ship the "Legend" and had a fantastic 7 days with warm, sunny weather in exotic ports of call, full of adventure, relaxation, history and of course, shopping!

We enjoyed a private meet and greet featuring Jim Stafford and Moe Bandy. We asked questions and took pictures with the entertainers. There was a lot of laughter as we learned about their backgrounds and careers.
Did you know that Jim is a wonderfully talented classical guitarist? That his hit song, Cow Patti, was written for the Clint Eastwood movie, Any Which Way You Can, in which Jim appeared.

Or that Moe worked on a ranch as a working cowboy and competed in bull riding and bareback bronco riding in rodeos for several years. Did you know Moe has his own bull? Yep, www.MoeBandy.com.

There was a great Jim and Moe cocktail party with free drinks, yummy food and easy chatter.

Jim’s private show was funny and wonderfully entertaining. His guitar playing is exceptional.
Moe’s private show was great fun. Whether you like country music or not, Moe Bandy has got to be a favorite.

If you were not with us you missed a great vacation.
OH! Did I forget to mention that Jerry Van Dyke made an appearance, joining Jim for jokes and conversion?  What a wonderful surprise!

Kilts in the Wind went to “New Scotland”

Our group, “Kilts in the Wind”, sailed out of New York on Carnival’s beautiful ship, M.S. Victory.  Passing the Statue of Liberty gives us goose bumps.  It is truly a sight to behold.  Then it’s on to Boston, Portland, and “New Scotland”, Sidney and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The September weather is warm, the people friendly and welcoming, and the sites are intriguing and rewarding. From a Historic Tour in Boston to lobster in Maine to the Fortress of Louisbourg and Cabot Trail in Sydney to the Maritime museum and The Citadel in Halifax, we were energized with excitement.
 

Our time onboard ship is fun and entertaining as well.  We are piped into the dining room on formal nights.  The men are dressed in kilts.  Other cruisers look on with wonder at this special honor.  We enjoy a private cocktail party, luck at the casino, and one member even wins the drawing on the day of debarkation.  We have five special guests who entertain us in private sessions.
