What customers say about Hawaii Travel Bureau:

   We would like to thank everybody who takes time to write to us after returning from their trip. We love receiving your messages and we feel very lucky to have such great customers! Here are just a few of the letters we have received:

   "Our vacation was great! The scenery was beautiful, even more than we expected. You did a great job helping us plan the trip and everything went smoothly. We will definitely use you in the future should we decided to return and I have already recommended you to several of my friends. Aloha and Mahalo!"

   "I wanted to write and thank you for planning such a wonderful trip to Hawaii for us. We had the best time, I can't say enough about Hawaii. It truly is "paradise". Also, thank you for the beautiful fruit plate you had waiting for us in Honolulu. That was such a nice touch. We thoroughly enjoyed both the hotels you picked for us and our air flights were wonderful, we even got an upgrade to first class on the way over because Continental had overbooked our flight. That was great of course.
   Again, thank you for helping us get this vacation put together. We will be forever grateful."

Shirley and Bob booked: airfare, 5 nights at the Pacific Beach Hotel, 2 nights at the Royal Lahaina, transfers, and car rental.

   "Just wanted to let you all know we had a wonderful time on our vacation. This is the second time we've used you and we will definitely be back again. Kona was fabulous. We absolutely loved the Royal Kona Resort. The Dollar rent a car people were super friendly. We saw pretty much everything on the island and had a terrific vacation. Thanks again!!! Your service and knowledge are top notch!!!"

Alissa booked: 6 nights at the Royal Kona Resort and car rental

   "Thank you so much. You are so pleasant to deal with. Everything I've asked for you've taken care of. I really appreciate it and I will always remember that for future vacations."

Brian booked a honeymoon package that included: airfare, 2 nights at the Sheraton Moana Surfrider, 4 nights at the Hyatt Kauai, 5 nights at the Kea Lani, transfers, and car rental.

   "I was a little hesitant in using an internet-based travel agency, but your prompt attention to these matters have given me confidence in using your services. We had a beautiful time in Maui and will continue to use your services when we travel back there again."

John booked: 7 nights at the ResortQuest Maui Hill

   "Dear Hawaii Travel Bureau,

   Don and I had a great time... so good, in fact, that we ended up purchasing a time-share on Maui. We were also impressed with your service. Since we will be flying back and forth to Maui every other year, we are going to consistently need a car and perhaps even plane tickets. Can you send us any "specials" as you run across them?

   Our first year in our time share at the Marriott will be in the year 2001.... Since I teach school here in Oregon, that means we're looking at all school vacation times until I retire (which should be in four years or so). Thanks so much for your help. You made life a lot easier."

   "Aloha HTB!

   I just wanted you to know that we had a wonderful time in Kauai. The Aston Kaha Lani, which you suggested, was just wonderful, with both the master bedroom and the living area facing the ocean. The weather was nearly as perfect as all of your arrangements -- air travel, car, accomodations all worked out beautifully. And I now have three children and one nephew who are avid surfers (though I just couldn't get Mom to try it).

   Your help was greatly appreciated. And you certainly lived up to your slogan -- "We'll make your Hawaiian paradise dreams come true!"

Ed booked: airfare, Kaha Lani, and car rental.

   "We had a great time and were thankful that we stumbled upon you on the internet. The arrangements all went smoothly, and we were happy with the advice you gave us regarding places to stay. Thank you for your help."

   "We absolutely LOVED Kauai. It was almost painful to leave. Thanks for making it all so easy to plan! We will definitely remember you for our future vacations. Thanks again!"

   'I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful Honeymoon to Kauai, Hawaii. Jamie and I had the best time I thought I was going to have to leave him he didn't want to come home. We are going to go back but it will probably be for our anniversary or something. But the trip was great and the weather was amazing. Thank you once again for a great time."

   "ALOHA! Well it took quite a while to get back to you, but I have to say that my new bride and I had a wonderful time. We will go back that is for sure. The people on the island were wonderful. Thank you very much for helping this dream come true. Mahalo!'

   "I really appreciate everything that you guys have done as you have made this whole process very stress-free and simplified. Mahalo again for your friendly and efficient service."

Wes booked: airfare and luxury car rental.

   "Just want to thank you and the other members for a wonderful vacation in Hawaii. Everything went like clockwork and the arrangements were great. The Hilton Waikoloa is without a doubt a fantastic hotel. We liked Kona so much that we will be returning in 2004. In 2003 we will be going to the Caymans. Don't know if you do trips to the Caymans but you did such a great job with Hawaii that I want to make sure that my wife and I give your company every opportunity to book trips for us. Thank you again and look forward to working with you in the future."

Ron booked: airfare, 7 nights at Hilton Waikoloa, mid-size car.
