Why Hawaii is the Ultimate Spring Break Haven ...

If spring is nature's celebration of life, then Hawaii is earth's greatest luau. There are few places on this planet that the four elements — air, fire, water, and earth — are on such spectacular display.

Spring is our annual reminder that the natural world always finds the perfect balance, and after the last year, you're likely feeling ready to get back into your element. My recommendation? A well-deserved Hawaiian spring break to make your aloha spirit soar.

Travel is for the young at heart, and below are four elemental reasons why you should consider a grown-up spring break escape to Hawaii. This adventure is easier than you may think: simply get in touch with me and get pre-tested before you fly (a requirement of all travelers to Hawaii). You deserve unparalleled travel experiences, and I look forward to helping you travel safely and exceptionally to your island of choice when you're ready.

IT'S SAFE TO START YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE. WHERE WILL YOU GO?

The primary definition of freedom is this: the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement. There's simply no better word in the English language — and there's no better news than what I'm about to share with you!

If you haven't already heard, cdc.gov recently stated that those who are fully vaccinated can travel safely within the U.S. and do not need to get tested before leaving the country unless the destination requires it. Further, vaccinated travelers no longer need to self-quarantine⁠⁠ after international travel.
