Dear Connie,
I want to thank you for your kindness and patience that you extend to me. In this day, sometimes it is hard to find those values in people. Especially in your job in dealing with the public.
I really appreciate those valuse. I am a senior citizen, and every penny counts. Again thank you, your employees are fortunate to have a compassionate person like you as an employee.

Our travel from St. Louis, to Houston, to Cancun was smooth, orderly, and on time. After we passed the gauntlet at the Cancun Airport, our driver was courteous and prompt. We stayed at Laguna Suites, with a second floor room with balcony. We were pleasantly surprized and very pleased with the resort. Our service was very nice, and we cannot say enough about the restaurant and the staff. They made our trip a wonderful memory and we made some new friends. Being the quiet type folks, this resort was the best choice for us. We visited all the other properties, however the personal service at the Laguna was home for us. It was all inclusive and perfect. All our day trips and concierge services were on time, as advertised, and well done. The Laguna Suites was well maintained, very clean, and was very nice.
We like our Coast to Coast Grand Getaways package, and plan to keep it, and use it.
The rest of the trip was very, very nice. From the 30 minute yacht ride, to the last day out to Xelha and back, all we did we were treated very well. The flight back was the same, on time, smooth, and safe.
In conclusion, we were very satisfied with the entire package. Muy Bueno!!!!!

Tammy Barngrover was incredible!!! I could never have made our convoluted reservations without her expert and patient help. We had a last minute moment of panic at the airport on my flight day, but the dysfunction was with American Airlines, not Grand Getaways. Tammy has completely restored my faith in our membership. Thank you!!!!

Hi Ruth! Just wanted to let you know the trip was fabulous!!! My sister and I really enjoyed ourselves. I thought the weather was perfect (mid to upper 80s). We lounged around the pool a few days, did a canopy tour, and zip lined through the mountians. One day which was a blast we took a catamaran boat tour and went snorkeling. Another day we went to Yalapa, and the guide was a hoot. We ate out at local restaurants every night, and did a little shopping. We ate seafood five out of seven nights there, it was so fresh and so tasty! The town and bus system was super easy and cheap. Pretty much everyone spoke English and was nice and friendly. The resort and town was not crowded or busy, and the service was great too.
It's been hard being back at work this week. Thanks again for all your help, and have a happy Memorial Day weekend!!

Everything went very smoothly for us as we cruised Alaska on the Norwegian Star.
Janice made sure we had everything in order. We do not travel that much and it is so nice to have no worries with airlines, and transfers to and from the ship. It was great to have that all in hand, and be taken care of so efficiently. Thanks so much.

Dear Tammy and Jamie,
Please frogive this way-too informal communication, but I wanted to send you both a HUGE thank you from me and my entire family.
Our weekend at the Majestic Mountian Pool Lodge was absolutely fantastic, and the Majestic Mountian crew was so wonderful and responsive whenever we needed anything. Jamie, I'm sorry I didn't get to meet with you in-person, but my niece couldn't say enough good things about you. :-) Thank you for all your help above-and-beyond.
My thanks as well to Tracy and Crystal, as well as Norm, their speedy, on-the-spot maintenance expert who made it possible for us to give that monster grill a good workout.
We're already looking foward to the 2011 sequel, so I'm sure I'll be back in touch before too ling.
Again, many thanks for a WONDERFUL experience.

After speaking with the other people on the tour who had taken Globus or affiliate tours, they said she made the tour very informative, witty, and kept everyone on time. Stacy even took an optional second day snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef. I'll call you when I get into a groove.

I just wanted to tell you, after many months how much my family and I enjoyed our vacation last summer at Branson, MO. The condo at Stonebridge Resort Village was just great. The location was quiet and beautiful. The grandkids had a nearby pool to enjoy all week long and the location was perfect, just down the road from Silver Dollar City. I had saved some pictures to send you but then I was unable to find an address for Go Grand Getaways. I don't know how to send pictures from the e-mail but my daughter, Laura, said sometime she will help me do that. We are thinking about taking a trip to Tennessee this summer. If you know about any condos at Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, Tennessee, you can let us know. I hope hope you had a nice Christmas and are doing well. We have had snow here in Arkansas for the past few days. It is pretty cold and I am enjoying the thoughts of Spring and the warm weather returning. Have a great day !

We are long on travel clubs as that is our passion. When I called to update information on Go Grand Getaways, I casually mentioned that we were having a wedding in San Diego August 6-13 2010, and needed accommodations located as closely as possible to the downtown area. When you called to inform us of your find, I was in pure shock, never expecting that you could offer the World Mark Mission Hills condos. Although it is much more pricey than we had planned, we realize that to locate 5 two bedroom units in one facility with kitchens, within 15 minutes of major attractions, was a winner. With 12 timeshares with RCI and II, we had checked with them and there was nothing. Kudos!!!
Our "fussy" children were pleased with your selection for us. A wedding is a special occasion and we are delighted with the end result.
Lew, through our phone contacts, we have made a friend--- although living in Sarasota--a lovely city---you have helped to make this family occasion a dream because of your effort.
Sincerely,

Kahana Beach Vacation Club review:
First of all, we want to express our appreciation for the job-well-done by Mike at Grand Getaways. He was always very professional, patient, and helpful. We were pleased with the resort and the cost. We would recommend Mike to anyone and hope he will be our vacation specialist in the future.
We stayed at the Kahana Beach Vacation Club on Maui, March 21 through April 4, 2009, just a scenic, 45-minute drive from the Kahului Airport. One of the first things to point out is that the sign out front is “Kahana Beach Resort”. We passed it up because it didn’t say Kahana Beach Vacation Club. We found this resort to be a very good value for the money spent. This is an older resort but is clean, the condo (for a studio) was spacious, and the staff was friendly. Parking is ample but a bit cramped; overflow parking is allowed at a resort across the street or on the street. Our particular room was just steps from the elevator, and our lanai (balcony) gave us an ocean view to the left and mountain view to the right. On more than one morning, we were afforded a very colorful view of Hawaii’s vivid rainbows over the mountains. Needless to say, cameras ready at all times. The bed was a queen size Murphy Bed but was very comfortable and easy to put up and down, even for us folks in our sixties. They offer various activities Monday through Friday, that include lei making classes, guided nature walk, ice cream social, and a hamburger get acquainted social at no additional cost. They have a nice outdoor pool and hot tub on a deck that jets out onto the beach. We actually sat in the hot tub and watch whales off shore—a really neat experience. The hot tub area also affords a beautiful sunset experience as it sets between the Islands of Lanai and Molokai. The location is great allowing for quiet on the beach and yet just a ten to fifteen drive from nice shopping areas, multiple restaurants, and also the very popular Lahaina Harbor area. There is a sister resort next door where you can enjoy the guided nature walk through their beautiful garden areas. A very nice, poolside restaurant is at that resort, of course within a short walking distance. They have good food and moderate “Hawaiian” prices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
We would definitely stay there again and coordinate our arrangements through Mike.

Ron Postlewait is an angel. Last Fall, my 7 friends and I had signed up for a tour of Croatia when the tour was canceled. Well we were set on taking this trip if at all possible. I called and got Ron on the phone. Well he very professionally gave me some options. He shepherded me through all the preparations and our group of eight traveled to Croatia.
Ron had made all the arrangements for less than we had paid for the canceled tour. We were met by the tour guides at the time and place given in our itinerary. We lucked out and in most hotels got no extra cost room upgrades (it was the end of their tourist season). We were met by a friendly van driver and toured to all of the destinations Ron had arranged for us each day. Needless to say, we had a ball, you might say the best of our tours to date (we travel together most every Fall). Grand Getaways is our travel agent whenever we have time and savings to tour the world. Hip!hip! hurrah!.

We were very satisfied with the places we stayed and the meals that were included. Thank you for helping us have a very enjoyable vacation.

Vacation in Mexico
We went to an all inclusive resort in Mexico. The cost of the trip was reasonable and the Resort was good. It was located approx. one hour from the merida airport on the Carribbean Sea. It was an older resort, but well maintained. Food and drinks were plentiful. It had a very nice New Year's eve party. I would recommend it for people who want to be away from the hustle & bustle.

I just want to share with you how much we enjoyed our stay at Star Island. It was all that you said it would be and more There wasn't time to take advantage of all opportunities that were there but we enjoyed all that we did participate in. Our experience with Coast to Coast Grand Getaways has been very positive. We were somewhat skeptical due to our former association with a travel club but your personal attention and helpfulness has been very reassuring.
We appreciated our visit with you and David and I will take the information from him Concerning Grand Vacations and give it to our Human Resources department. Thanks again for all your courtesy Lew!

Janice is a KEEPER! She worked very closely with us (2 couples cruising together) last year to make sure that we received the best rate, the best cabin location, dining arrangements, etc. She definitely did a GREAT JOB of hand-holding us through the entire process. We were so happy with the treatment that we received that we (the 2 couples again) booked another 7 day cruise through Janice for next month. Again she came through with flying colors to make sure that we received the best cabin (deck and location) for the price.
I am a Director of a $2 Billion Company and know how difficult it is to find and keep quality talent in a seemingly shrinking employment pool these days. As I said earlier, Janice is a keeper and I hope that she will be rewarded for her fine efforts.

Thanks to Tammy for all her help in booking the flights and hotels for us, It was a wonderful experience we will not soon forget, She was a constant help seeming to know exactly what we wanted at an affordable price. The weather was great, hitting the low 80s a couple of days and just a few hours of rain throughout the trip. Got to talk to everyone at Grand Getaway from Tammy and Ron to Janice and Ruth, even talked to Mike and Tommy, don't get me wrong they all treated us very well with Janice doing the first booking on our first flight and accommodation's, but there is something special about Tammy as she put herself in the clients shoes and if it's not perfect to her she will not recommend it. After numerous calls from Tammy and the other way around she got us the best deals For our budget, thanks again Tammy for your excellent choices and keep up the good work, Looking forward to our next holiday, Will not hesitate to use Grand Getaways again, Bye for now, but you will hear from us very soon.

Our two week stay at Sandals Montego Bay was great. The staff there was absoultely awesome and the shows at night were great. The airplanes do fly directly over the resort but after awhile you become immune to them.We flew Air Jamaica and found this airline to be top-notch. All of this fun-filled vacation would not have been possible without the fantastic job Janice Merrill did in arranging our trip. Her courteous, professional, sincere, prompt. and efficient response to our needs and questions was greatly appreciated. She certainly is a credit to Coast to Coast Grand Getaways. We look forward to working with her again.

WE BOOKED OUR WEEK AT WESTGATE BRANSON WOODS THRU COAST TO COAST GRAND GETAWAYS. THE FACILITIES WE EXPERIENCED THERE WERE SOME OF THE BEST WE’VE EVER KNOWN. EVERYTHING WAS PROVIDED EXCEPT THE FOOD OF COURSE. THE FURNISHINGS WERE ALL IMMACULATE AND VERY STYLISH INCLUDING A JACUZZI IN THE MASTER BEDROOM. THERE WERE NUMEROUS ACTIVITIES TO ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY, ALONG WITH HIKING AND THE USE OF THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR POOLS. THE GOUNDS WERE BEAUTIFUL AND VERY WELL MAINTAINED. THE RESORT STAFF WAS FRIENDLY, EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIVE, WHEN WE HAD A NOISE SITUATION DEVELOP NEXT DOOR. THE COST WAS VERY REASONABLE THANKS TO OUR CLUB MEMBERSHIP. BRANSON IS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT WITH SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. THIS WAS A MOST RELAXING AND PLEASUREABLE WEEK WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE TO ANYONE.

Laura and I made it back from Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic late this past Saturday night. The week went by fast. The Lifestyle Crown Residence Suites were nice. There is a lot of new construction going on building new 1,2,3,4,5,6, & 7 room villas. The Gardens section is no longer in use and is going to be replaced with something new. The weather was absolutely fabulous. You get off the resort and you talk about third world country…….. Thanks for all your help and support.
You will hear from me again on my next trip.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Tammy and Ron for saving our anniversary trip. Due to the totally unprofessional and disingenuous behavior of Cameron and Sun Travel Systems, we did not have a confirmed hotel for our trip.
Ron and Tammy found us a great looking resort for a good price at the very last minute. And they were so gracious and efficient while doing it. It is a credit to your organization to have great employees such as this to be your outward facing component.
They are truly fantastic, and my wife and I sincerely appreciate them and know our future travel needs will be handled by the best!

Judy Weppler was immensly helpful to me when making my travel plans. She was very patient, thorough & diligent. The vacation package was just what we were looking for. Judy helped sve us money by arranging separate fflights than the chartered ones and coordinating our departures, as my sister and I live in different cities. The brendan travel company was wonderful and I have highly recommended their services to other friends and would book with them in the future.

We booked our week at Westgate Branson Woods thru Coast to Coast Grand Getaways. The facilities we experienced there were some of the best we've ever known. Everything was provided except the food of course. The furnishings were all immaculate and very well maintained.
There were numerous activites to engage in everyday, along with hiking and the use of the indoor and outdoor pools. THe grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. The resort staff was friendly, efficient and responsive, when we had a noise situation develop next door. The cost was very reasonable tanks to our club membership.
Branson is a great place to visit with something for everyone. This was a most relaxing and pleasureable week we would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

Our experience was a trip of a lifetime, everything was so well organized by Judy Weppler, that we had no worries at all. Even when we encountered a time zone problem (air flight) in Tahiti - Grandgetaways stepped up and took care of it all. We are considering another extended vacation, and Judy would certainly be the first call we will make.
Many thanks to all of you.

Outstanding service. Everyone involved all along the way was very helpfull and very pleasant. Judy W. scheduled our trip and gave advise and tips when we were planning. Katerina (land portion) was very knowledgable and super nice. The woman who was part of our cruise portion was also very nice. There was also a woman who organized things in Greece who was great. The whole experience with Globus was excellent. Everyone we delt with was very pleasant, very organized and made the trip a success.
My friend Vionnette had her luggage lost in Terminal 5 in London. The girls made nuberous calls for several days regarding this issue. It was difficult I'm sure because thousands of pieces of luggage were lost when terminal 5 opened. They persisted until it was located and then they had it delivered to our hotel. That was the only bump in the road we encountered. The luggage was missing for about 4 or 5 days.
We lost a day of sight seeing because she had to shop for some clothes. That was the last thing we had planned on doing. But... thank goodness they handled all of this because we would have spent tons of time, money and patience trying to resolve this. I would defenitly recommend this trip and these companies (Globus and Grand Get Aways) to anyone who is planning a vacation. Thank you for making it a vacation we will always remember.

Dealing with Judy Weppler for our trip to Italy was excellent. We enjoyed all the cities and the hotels. The train rides and tours were not all pleasant or easy for older persons. We did have a good time, though, and again were very pleased with Judy's arrangements and help with our travel plans.

We had a wonderful honeymoon! The hotels in Mykonos and Santorini were FABULOUS, especially the one in Mykonos. Not crazy about the Baby Grand in Athens- It wasn’t “bad” but a little too boutique-chic-contemporary for our style and would not stay there again.
Judy, you were really instrumental in helping us put together this wonderful honeymoon and we really appreciate all her help and suggestions. We loved working with you! Thank you again!!

The hotel Circus Circus in Las Vegas was great. US Air was not so good. We endured endless delays in both directions from Seattle to Las Vegas and back. . The US Air staff did not seem concerned with the discomfort of the passengers. We will not fly with them again.

We had a wonderful time in Hawaii and the The Reef Hotel at Waikiki was beautiful, The hotel is right on Waikiki Beach and the staff treated us very well and even upgraded us to a beach front room.
The hotel has three very good restaurants as well as a shopping area. The Reef is within walking distance frim several shopping malls and great restaurants.
We really enjoyed our stay and hope to make the trip again someday.

Janice was very helpful in scheduling our travel for our recent trip to Hawaii. She was able to get us very competetive rates on both the air fare and car rental. We wer very pleased when we arrived to find at the auto rental agency to find that the luxury car we rented was really that.
Unfortunately, it had been a while since we traveled by air and not realizing the amount of space that passengers were required to scarifice in United.s new configuration we requested economy class.
When we reached our destination I phoned Janice to inquire if it was possible to upgrade our return tickets to Economy Plus as ther was not enough leg room on the flight over.
Janice was a jewel and was able to accommodate my request for an upgrade and was back to me within 15 minutes with the confirmation number, which made our return trip home more relaxing and comfortable.

Our tour in China consisted of six great people and therefore the tour guides were very informative and made sure we were safe and took care of all our needs. We were able to see all the wonderful cultural sites and cities that we had read about. All our hotels in Japan and China were five star and unbelievably wonderful. We would have definitely skipped the trip to Japan if we had known prior to the week before we left, that all of our tours were cancelled due to the National Holiday. We were not able to see all we had hoped in Japan. The internal air transportation in China was very good, except for two very, very early morning flights, which caused breakfast planning a problem. We did fill out comment sheets with Pacific Delight, and explained everything we liked and disliked and asked them to respond. We are waiting to hear back. All in all, this was a trip of a lifetime and everything we had hoped it would be. Judy, you were very helpful, informative and answered all our questions. It was a pleasure working with you. We would definitely recommend this wonderful trip to everyone.

The air and ground accommodations made for us were excellent. Judy was familiar with Tahiti and therefore the suggestions and recommendations she had made were quite accurate. I look forward to her assisting us on other trips. The one difficulty we had was in the Sheraton in Papeete, as they did not confirm our departure date and time the day before we were to leave. This caused us to miss our flight to Morea.

We had a wonderful. time. Judy Weppler was excellent in assisting us plan our trip. She was very thorough and took our comfort in mind by booking our flights at times that were well spaced so we did not have to be concerned with hurrying to catch our next planne. The Holland America cruise guide (Scott) was exceptional. All the guides, bus drivers and hotel personnel were very knowledgeable about the tour. They were very giving and careful of the passengers safety. Our luggage was handled very well and was exactly where it was supposed to be at all times. Since we are older, it was a GREAT idea to take the land tour first and the sea cruise last; it gave us time to rest up. You might want to keep this in mind for your older guests in the future. Overall, I would rate thie trip a 10!

"Overall, the trip was very pleasant and we really enjoyed the whole thing. Our treatment and service from Judy at Grand Incentives was excellent. Thank you! However we found the land trips a little disapponting. Especially the eight hour Denali park trip which was tiring and uncomfortable. We found the H.A. logistics overall excellent and tour guide was okay. The cruise was outstanding, our state room very comfortable and service excellent. The food was lavish! However we were disappointed with a couple of the on-shore excursions, particularly the rain forest/ sea coast walk in Juneau. The embarkation and disembarkation process was very well organized and efficient (they have obviously had alot of practice!)"

"Our group had a marvelous time. Ron Postlewait made all the arrangements for us which included pick up from and delivery to the airport, the pick ups occurred timely and more than met our expectations. He arranged local sightseeing tours with local guides. These occurred exactly as promised and everyone in the group enjoyed them. He arranged hotel stays in 5 star hotels. Receptions occurred without difficulty and because it was the end of the season we had our rooms upgraded at no extra cost. He arranged bus tours to interesting places from our hotels. Again the drivers arrived in time and gave us private tours which everyone enjoyed. Everyone commented that our 'private tour' included everything one would have expected but was so much more enjoyable because we did not have to wait for others, we were able to ask for photo stops on the tour and we encountered friendly , helpful guides and drivers everywhere. Our group is dreaming of future trips and really appreciated the very personal and clear assistance from Ron. I would suggest that he be considered for employee of the year, if you have such a thing. This was my first use of my membership account. I had no idea what to expect. I was very, very pleasantly surprised and will certainly tell friends and other travelers about your company. As you can see my first use was not an easily challenge to Ron, Thank you very much. "

"Westgate Branson Woods is a gated luxury resort situated on a secluded hill-top, yet less than half an hour from all the shows and restaurants. We stayed in a nice standard condo unit with a small kitchenette. The staff was very professional and we were treated quite well. We enjoyed the good coffee in the large main lobby every morning. Their concierge was excellent. We got tickets to all 7 shows there. All in all, we enjoyed the resort, the shows, and touring the nearby Table Rock State Park and the College of the Ozarks. A great one-week getaway!"
Regards, Emerson
"My experience so far has been a positive one. Janice has always been very helpful and I believe has done her very best to find the least expensive price on all of our requests. When Jackie was there, she too was a great agent. I look forward to continue with my membership, and hope and expect to continue receiving the service, and the prices (after all, the reason for the purchase of this package was because of the attractive savings) that I have in the past."
