This resort is a top pick for most honeymooners not only because it is an adults only resort but for the attention to detail to enhance romance. All rooms are over sized Suites featuring double Jacuzzi's, 24 hour room service, a large terrace and 4 poster beds.

My Minnesota Wedding Show

On Saturday I spent the day meeting couples at the My Minnesota Wedding Show in Monticello. It may have been snowing but is did not stop many couples to come and meet the areas Top Wedding Professionals. I love to see a little snow never stops a true Minnesotan.

Throughout the day I met many great people, and of course talked weddings and honeymoons all day. Some of the hot destinations brides were thinking about were, Jamaica, Bahamas, Mexico and Hawaii. With all the snow falling it was really easy to think about that dream honeymoon. Not only destinations were on the top of our conversation but so was all the extraordinary resorts to offer.
A few of the hot resorts: Sandals
Couples
El Dorado
Secrets
Palace Resorts


You may hear me say that this vacation will be one of the most memorable vacations you two take together as a married couple. With that in mind are you searching on your own? Where to go and what resort to select, all the options can be over whelming, consider having a travel expert help you with all the large and small details. I love to start our relationship with a few questions, this will help all of us.

Here is a thought to get you started;
Describe you Honeymoon in 3 to 5 words? Each of you do this, that will show you if you are on the same page of what style of honeymoon you both want.

Budget, this is a big word for some. Do not let it scare you, this maybe your first vacation on your own as an adult, in reality how are you to know what to budget. This again is where I will step in and advice what might be that typically budget for the style of honeymoon you want and from there we will see if that is a COMFORTABLE budget for the two of you.




Adam Welz was also there, the President of the Central Minnesota Wedding Association. He spent the day handing out the Bride Guide. If you do not have one and would like one please email me and I will mail you one.

A Honeymoon to Remember

A perfect picture honeymoon for a perfect couple . . . . where else but in the beautiful Island of Maui, Hawaii.
I was so excited to hear from Kindra and David this last February concerning the planning our their honeymoon. One of my passions are honeymoons and that maybe because of my own personal experience of my own honeymoon it was 10 years ago and we still talk about it.

Kindra and David already knew where they wanted to go however it was my job to personalize it find the perfect resort, and even suggested a convertible, in Hawaii this is a must! Below are some great pictures they have shared, you may notice that they visited the Pearl Harbor, I helped them plan a day trip over to Honolulu! It is a very fun and easy day trip no matter where you are in Hawaii.













This is what Kindra had to say about her and Davids honeymoon:
When trying to think of a destination for our honeymoon Dave and I wanted something tropical but low key and relaxing. Somewhere that we could both enjoy! We thought of Maui! Once we agreed on a destination we asked our DJ Adam Welz if he knew of any good travel agents. He gave us Nichole Winters contact information. Once we contacted Nichole everything went so smoothly. She listened to what we wanted and researched packages for us, and helped us in contacting someone at our Hotel so that we could pre-plan activities while in Hawaii. At such a hectic time for us planing our honeymoon was the easiest thanks to Nichole.

Westin: We both enjoyed the resort. The landscaping by the pool areas was so beautiful, and waterfalls were everywhere! It was so relaxing to sit by the pool! The staff was so nice, and the hotel lobby was beautiful. The first night when we arrived at the hotel we were so tired from the long day of traveling, and we were graciously greeted by the valet, then we walked into the lobby and the first thing we saw was a waterfall, and pink flamingos! The hotel offers so many activities! Great for all ages! The hotel also has stores where you can buy gifts, and necessities ( drinks, cameras, sun block, ect. and is open late!
Favorite Thing we did:We both enjoyed every moment of our stay! The surf lessons that we had right outside the Westin were a lot of fun for both of us! The instructors and staff at the school are very patient and so kind!We also enjoyed the drive to Hana. ( We drove in our rental car, but there are tours you can take, but we enjoyed being able to take our time at each stop!) If you drive the road to Hana on your own there is a special CD you can buy, and you start to play it at a special point ( directions and map come with the CD) and it will tell you what you are seeing! It was great! There were so many beautiful stops on the way!
We also enjoyed the Gemini Sailing Tour and the Pearl Harbor tour! The staff on the Gemini was so nice and very welcoming!

. . . and Thank You David and Kindra you were a joy to work with, I love helping clinets with such an important vacation as a new married couple.

Where would you be . . . .

When you look at this picture, where do you imagine yourself?
Last year I visited Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and fell in love. After a day of touring many resorts, I headed back to the beautiful Riu Santa Fe and enjoyed a bit if R&R, now if you know me I am always with my camera. This picture came from a moment of enjoyment and I will always cherish it.
For many people it is fastly approaching that time of the year, you know when we start planning that winter vacation. The one that heps us forget about hats, mittens, shoveling snow, and windchill for a few days.
Let this be the winter, you can find yourself, in that perfect picture moment of enjoying so much warmth.

This picture states the same as the palm tree, wide open beautiful beaches, and two chairs awaiting you and your loved one.

There are some many destinations, and activities to fall in love with. Think about what you want to experience on your next vacation and call today, I would love to help you!

It has been awhile . . .

Wow I have not updated you on anything for awhile. In the last month so many things have been going on here.

As you all know by now in August I launched my own Travel Agency, it is called Destination Vacation, this is a really exciting time in my travel career. I have many fun ideas to share with you as time goes on. One thing I am really focusing on is continuing to educate myself. In the last month I spent 2 full days attending MLT University, sitting in on many classes learning about Sandals, Costa Rica, the A, B, C Islands and so much more. Also yesterday I meet with two ladies learning the back side of the business! I have to say I am having a blast and trying to keep up with all the ideas that are exploding in my head.

When attending MLT university, travel agents receive special coupons to offer out clients, some are for Jamaica, Riu Resorts, Couples, and so many more resorts, these savings can add up to $275 per couple.

One Promotion that I am EXCITED about is Palace Resorts, "Vacation Dollars"
Stay at any Palace Resort for 5 or more nights and receive $1,500
or 3 or 4 nights and receive $750
. . . . to spend on Wedding Collections, Tours, Golf, Spa
Upgraded Wine Selection, Romantic Dinner, Room
Upgrades, Casino, and Night Club

Let me ask you something . . . . Have you ever arrived to a resort and they handed you $1,500 to spend money on what you already spend your money on while on vacation. I have never see any offer like this. If you are thinking about your next vacation, this maybe a excellent option for you! Call today and we can talk abut it 320-241-0355

Here is a link to the Palace Resorts Website ~ http://www.palaceresorts.com/

Now to add to everything that is going on here at Destination Vacation is our design of our website . . . . we will be launching in 2 to 3 weeks. Again I am so excited to share this website with you. in the Mean time become a fan of Destination Vacation on Facebook, it is a great resource to keep up on many travel details.


Last thing I want to remind you of is our Referral program this is an excellent way for you to save money on your next vacation. So the next time one of your friends mentions they need to get away for a vacation please share my contact information with them!

I hope you are enjoying you fall, and I look forward to working with you in the near future!
