Maui condos, Maui information. Aloha! My name is Donna Bender. I was born and raised
in Hawaii and have been a travel agent for 25 years. I book lodging
and air-land-car vacation packages not just for Maui but for all the Hawaiian
islands. After I book your trip, I'll email you the travel guides
I've written for each island you're visiting. I book not just the
properties on this site but all properties in Hawaii. I look forward
to working with you!
I can book you a fly-drive package to any of the Hawaiian Islands at better
rates than you get by contacting the major airlines directly.
I book Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays, Happy Vacations and Hawaii World, all of which
have packages originating from all major U.S. cities. Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays
uses American Trans Air (wide-body L-1011s) from SFO, LAX, Chicago and
JFK and United and Hawaiian Airlines from Seattle and San Diego.
Happy Vacations uses United, Aloha and Hawaiian Airlines from all major
U.S. cities. Hawaii World discounts most of the major airlines.
Assigned seats, frequent flyer miles, and mileage upgrades are available
with all packages.
I represent ALL properties on ALL islands! I am a travel agent that matches
properties to your specific needs. That’s what I’m best at! I can book a
property that you specifically ask for (because you have stayed there before
or a friend has recommended the property), but what I do mostly is find out
what you want (price, amenities, etc.) and then have you choose from a couple
of properties I think that fits your specific needs. Because I live in the
islands I know every single property and constantly check them out to know
what is happening to the property.

<p>The Local Girl's Guide to Maui; is organized into the following
sections:
Restaurants and Markets
Beaches
Snorkeling
Grocery Shopping
Web Sites
Here is a typical restaurant description:
Japanese deli with some of the greatest food on this
entire island! Try the lemon caper mahi-mahi, Caesar
salad, black bean chow fun, Korean style chicken BBQ,
and teriyaki steak (unbelievable!). This is a very
special find and you must eat here to experience fresh
fish cooked perfectly at affordable prices.
Here is a typical description of a snorkeling spot:
This is a perfect spot for beginners and gentle enough
for children. The inner reef is shallow but the water
there can be murky. The outer reef, 50 to 100 yards
from shore, has many fish, large coral heads and turtles.
Go early before the crowds arrive and stir up the sand.
There are no facilities here.
The grocery shopping section describes the wonderful local foods that are
available in the grocery stores. Here is a typical description of a locally
prepared meat available in the grocery store meat section:
Marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, onion, and
Ready to barbecue. Fabulous!
