Vacation Celebration

Maureen loves to work with small groups to plan milestone vacations. Here are her tips:

• Strength in Numbers: Most River Cruises and All-Inclusive resorts have 10 people as the magic number to start receiving group discounts. 

• Plan Ahead: Book dinner reservations ahead of time (even wtih all-inclusive resorts) to accommodate large groups. 

• Villas: Get the best of both worlds by booking a villa on all-inclusive resort. Perfect for family reunions. 

Lauren went to Tahiti in October with the Hilton properties and French Bee Airlines. Read her review of the new airlines and three islands she visited. 

• French Bee Airlines: Considered the "SouthWest" of France, this new airlines offers reasonable prices (round trip starting at $600 from San Francsico to Tahiti). Love this new airlines! 

• Morea: Considered the adventure island of Tahiti. Excursions include, hiking, ATVs and horse back riding. The Hitlon property is perfect for families and has the best breakfast buffett on the island.

• Bora Bora:The most beautiful blue water in the world resides in Bora Bora. Lauren's favorite resort is the 5-star Conrad Bora Bora for it's privacy, snorkeling and customer service. 

• Papateee: The Pearl Beach Tahiti offers history, authenticity and a good place to lay your head if you have a late night inbound or early outbound flight.
