Welcome to Discover Your World Travel

August is two days away and it has turned out to be the busiest month of our year! I'm thrilled that clients are traveling and enjoying the very many terrific destinations that are looking for thier arrivals.

What's happening in the travel industry? Two big changes you need to know about...

Passports, visas, and passport renewals (among other changes) have raised rates- quite a bit. You should be aware of the changes and understand why. Don't let it stop you from getting your documents renewed or getting a new passport. Read the article that tells you more about why the Department of State made the decision to change these rates... www.travel.state.gov 

TSA, under the Secure Flight Program, has now entered into it's final phase. It now requires us to report your FULL LEGAL name to them for every airline ticket issued. That means your first, middle and last- as it appears on the government issued ID that you intend to travel with. Additionally, we need to report each traveler's birth date, gender and, if traveling internationally we'll need to report passport numbers and other information.TSA _ Website

TRAVEL PINK! TRAVEL OAHU!        

It was an amazing and heartfelt event in October! I felt privileged to be a part of such a wonderful group of people involved with the travel industry who participated. All told, there were thousands who walked that day and it was very memorable.

My family has been deeply touched by the cancer so it is my honor to offer a uniquely Hawaii program in it's fourth year for 2010. You can only book this through Oahu Destination Specialists, of which I am proud to be among the ranks.

Whether you are celebrating your survivorship, planning a girls getaway or honoring a loved one, a trip to Hawaii and the embrace of the Aloha spirit is a wonderful place of healing and rejuvenation!

Discover Your World Travel will be donating 5% of all profits from each package booked with the Travel Pink! Travel Oahu! program through our agency. Please call Christine today and book yours.

Though packages for Travel Pink! Travel Oahu! 2010 are not yet on the website or announced they will be similar to 2009. You can expect great hotel values and fantastic activities. I enjoyed snorkeling, gourmet chef experiences and jungle hiking!

Grab your girlfriends, celebrate your renewed health with your family, or remember and honor a loved one. Center it around the Walk for the Cure and experience the very special healing of the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

UPDATE- March 2010- The Travel Pink Team is forming up the new offerings and they promise to be great fun! Please consider taking some time to rejuvenate in the beautiful Oahu. It's a gorgeous island and very diverse. Spend a little time in the hip and very renovated Waikiki (ask me for my recommendations!) and then head over for a few days in the quiet North Shore! No matter how you spend your time on Oahu you'll find yourself in love with the island.
