Ocean Coral & Turquesa, Rivera Maya Mexico
My husband Charlie and I just got back from a wonderful 7 day, 6 night stay at Ocean Coral and Turquesa resort in Rivera Maya, Mexico. The resort had so many great features that we were very pleased with it all. The resort offered 6 different restaurants, 4 pools, a beautiful spa and great fitness center. The rooms and entire resort were very clean and the staff was amazing. Annie and Humble Travel did a great job helping us book this trip and made it very special for us as we were celebrating our Anniversary. We would highly reccomend this resort to everyone. Thank you for your help Annie, we had a blast!!

Sandals Jamaica
Humble travel agent Diana Garles booked our trip for four couples and we had a great time. Sandals treated us like kings and went out of their way to accomodate our group for dinner. Weather was great and the flights went very smooth.

Saint Lucia - Sandals La Toc
My wife and I just got back from our honeymoon in Saint Lucia. First of all, Nikki did a fantastic job arranging our trip and making it stress free. We stayed at Sandals La Toc resort. Sandals has three resorts on Saint Lucia and part of staying at a Sandals resort is you have access to everything at the other resorts. We enjoyed La Toc so much, we just stayed at that resort the whole time. Our room was very nice and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We ate at all 7 of the restaurants at the resort and the food was fantastic (there are two restaurants that require reservations, you need to go to the reservation concierge the first day you are there otherwise you might not be able to eat at those two. Don't procrastinate your reservations). We also did the "Joe Knows" tour, which we HIGHLY recommend. Google "Joe Knows Saint Lucia" and you can get more info. It was well worth the money. Overall, Nikki and the Humble staff did a wonderful job getting our trip booked, and the resort did not disappoint. If you are considering going to the Caribbean, you should consider Sandals in Saint Lucia. We rate everything 5 out of 5 stars!

Royal Caribbean Cruise
We highly recommend Royal Caribbean for any cruise! Their service was exceptional and my Grandma, sisters, and I had an absolute blast! I had no previous cruise experience so Annie Humble with Humble Travel handled the booking and all details. Everything went so smoothly! I highly recommend the Blue Lagoon excursion in Nassau, Bahamas and Dry Tortugas National Park! Loved it!

Playa Del Carmen
We traveled to Playa Del Carmen in March and stayed at the Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda. We originally looked into booking the vacation on our own, but I decided to contact Humble travel service so I could go without worry, and that is exactly what happened. Nikki helped us book our vacation and helped us with EVERYTHING!!! She was so patient when I changed my mind (more than a few times), and was so personable. I would recommend Humble and Nikki to EVERYONE if your looking for a fun filled, worry free vacation!

Vacation at Dreams Villa Magna
If you're looking for a stress free vacationing experience book through Johnny Lukehart at Humble travel. My wife and I just recently returned from a vacation that Johnny planned for us in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico at the Dreams Villa Magna Hotel. The Dreams exceeded all our expectations and then some. We were greeted by a hotel concierge with a cool refreshing towel and mimosas, in front of a beautiful open breeze way that over looked a stunning view of the pacific. The staff was polite outgoing fun and accommodating to our every need. Overall, our vacation experience was a five star experience!! Thank you to Humble Travel, and especially to Johnny Lukehart.

Oahu Dream Vacation!
We went to Oahu to celebrate my cousin Angela's survival against the odds. This October her lung cancer went into remission and we decided it was time to fulfill her dream of going to Hawaii. Her 17 year old daughter and our aunt joined us. The four of us had a FLAWLESS vacation. I will go to Annie any time I need/want to plan a vacation. We stayed for part of our week at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Hilton is so accommodating...so amazing. They made everything magical and surpassed our expectations. We recommend renting a car for a few days and driving all around the island. (Make sure you see what kinds of discounts you can get with a rental - by having a Costco Card we were able to save 40% at Hertz!!) Its great to stop when you want, see what you want. Always try the local food - you HAVE to have a plate lunch...fresh fish. One of our favorite activities was snorkeling in Hanauma Bay. We also took a Hummer Tour that highlighted locations where movies and television shows have been filmed. It was fun - especially for a bunch of movie buffs! Overall, a great vacation. Thank you for all your help and advice, Annie!

Destination Wedding
We highly recommend Nikki Miner at Humble Travel. We had a destination wedding at the Breezes Resort in Rio Bueno, Jamaica and had 40 guests attend. Nikki made travel arrangements for us and all of our guests in addition to planning our wedding. She far exceeded our expectations. We had a dream wedding and vacation. Nikki took care of all the details so we could remain stress free during a very exciting time in our lives.

Turkey
My daughter and I highly recommend Annie Humble and Key Tours!! We wanted a worry free trip with a small group. Our guide (Ensar Islamoglu) was very knowledgeable in history and mythology... and had a wonderful sense of humor with a large dose of patience. Having a small group (total of six) we were able to navigate thru crowds and eat at quaint locally owned restaurants. We had SOOO much fun - Roman ruins, mosques, Ephesus, rug weaver demo, pottery demo, Turkish night (belly dancers), leather fashion show, Mediterranean Sea, Turkish bath (WOW), Whirling Dervish show, a walk in the Mediterranean Sea, and the list goes on. Great ethnic food and service was excellent at all restaurants and the historic boutique hotels we stayed in. If you are looking for a trip of a lifetime...talk to Annie!

Nuevo Vallarta Mexico
We just returned from a week at the Vallarta Palace and it was wonderful. When you travel with Humble Travel it truly is a worry free vacation. The hotel was clean and we never found anyone that wasn't friendly and helpful. What a beautiful beach area, too. We were served the finest food and drink, and the bathroom scale DOES reflect that!! Thanks to Arlene and all her planning. We can't wait till next year! Leanne & Steve

FIRST TRIP TO HAWAII
RECOMMENDATIONS ON OAHU 1. Use city bus system in Honolulu. Buses run on time and drivers are helpful. 2. Take city bus to Diamondhead and climb to the top. Not a bad climb with stairs and a tunnel. Will need sunblock, a hat, and some water. 3. Take city bus to Punchbowl National Cemetery. Will need to climb a long steep hill, but it is worth the climb. Tour buses will not stop in the Punchbowl Cemetery. 4. Take tour bus trip to all major attractions on island. Need to see Pearl Harbor, Arizona Memorial, Dole Plantation, and Polynesian Center. ON HAWAII (LARGE ISLAND) 5. Recommend Volcano National Park on southwest side of island. Do everything available like watch movie, go to museum, walk through lava tube, view volcano crater, etc. Will need sunblock, hat, and water. 6. Drive to South Point and view famous wind blown trees. Road to South Point is narrow and rough. Will need hat but hang on to it. 7. Recommend Akaka Falls State Park on northeast side of island, which is in a rainforest area. Will need a raincoat and hat, but water will be provided. 8. If possible drive the Saddle Road between the volcanoes. Road is narrow and steep in places, but some parts are new. Passengers should look for multiple rainbows while the driver watches the road. 9. Sample the local food like poi and pokey. Afterwards, drink several Mai Tai’s to help forget local food.
Enjoy the sunsets and the weather. Aloha.

Alaska Land/Cruise vacation
Nikki, Thank you so much for all you did and all the help you showed in getting us ready for our Alaska vacation. We had a fantastic time and loved every minute of it. Your agency made it so easy. We had all the right documents and every thing was made very, very easy. We had a ball and would not change a thing. We felt very well informed and in the "light" on things all the time. Holland America was great. We have nothing but great remarks to share. Encourage people to take the excursion on the Bering Sea Crab Tour in Ketchikan. Fantastic tour!! Way over the top of what their flyer shows. Thanks Nikki, you were great and so helpful.

Couples Negril, Jamaica
We had a wonderful time at Couples Negril for our honeymoon this past June. We initially had wanted to stay at a Sandals resort but were unable to book our trip because they were full so we settled for Couples instead and couldn't have been happier. The staff was very friendly and courteous upon arrival, providing cool towels and refreshments after our shuttle from the airport and carrying our bags to our room. We found fresh flowers in our room daily sprinkled on the bed with towels folded into swans and hearts, etc... and our room was always very clean and comfortable. The drinks at the bar (swim up was our favorite) were excellent and they even had a self-serve bar where you could help yourself if your drink wasn't strong enough. The food at the resort was amazing, with a variety of restaurants to choose from, including Otaheite: the only restaurant at the resort requiring reservations but the 5-course meal was outstanding. We also ate at the Heliconia Grill alot because of their Italian dinners. There was always plenty to do at the resort as well. We had fun snorkeling, night snorkeling (extra fee), jet skiing, kayaking, and we even took the beginner's scuba course which we highly recommend... we got to dive in the ocean, went down 40 ft, and even saw a 8 ft nurse shark up close! They had bonfires, dance parties at the piano bar, and live bands at the cassava terrace at night. During the day we enjoyed the beautiful weather floating in the clear ocean on one of the numerous white couples rafts that were available, or relaxing by the swim-up bar or playing volleyball in the pool. It was a very friendly, laid-back atmosphere and nice to not have noisy kids running around. We also enjoyed 2 amazing couples massages while we were there (one complimentary with proof that we were newlyweds). Overall, we loved every minute of our 7 night stay and will definitely be returning for anniversaries in the future. We would recommend this resort to any couple. Thanks Humble Travel!

Secret Harbour, St. Thomas
Our visit to St. Thomas, our stay at Secret Harbour, and the people we encountered were great. We had an oceanview suite a short walk from and on a level with the well-maintained pool. The suite was very nicely appointed with the owner's personal decor and a fully equipped kitchen, with maid service every day. There was a panoramic view of the bay and surrounding hills from our balcony, and there were spectacular flowers and plants everywhere with humming birds sipping nectar from the flowers and a few iguanas eating the foliage. It was sunny with a few clouds and about 80F every day, 73F at night, and there was always a nice breeze blowing through the place: not too hot, not to cold. There was some morning rain the first two days, but we used the rain the day after we arrived to rest up a little and go to the grocery store in Red Hook (about a 5 minute drive) for breakfast, lunch, and snack stuff. Food is pretty expensive: milk 5 ot 6 dollars a gallon, bananas a dollar a pound. Gas was about $2.60 a gallon. Likewise, the restaurants are expensive, but we had a wide variety of great food and enjoyed our dining experiences. We had meals at the resort, a couple of places in Red Hook, and once in Charlotte Amalie. There is a very good restaurant at the resort right on the beach with a covered, more formal, area and a patio for casual dining. The beach at the resort was excellent and well maintained. A few extra people would come on cruise ship days but weren't a problem. There was a nice little wedding with steel drum accompaniment on the beach one day. We were provided with beach towels and lounges. The people at the resort were a mix of retirees/owners, families, couples without children, a few newlyweds, and few locals. There was a dive shop right there for scuba and snorkeling gear rental, and we enjoyed the snorkeling and swimming very much. Lots of colorful fish, some sea turtles, and squid. The water was great: very calm because of the protected location, refreshing, and very clear. From a distance the color of the water ranged from cyan and turquoise to sky blue and purple, spectacular. We traveled around the island by cab. The fares for most destinations are specified for point-to-point and there are no meters, so you knew what it would cost in advance, and all of the licensed cabs charged that fare. We never had to wait for a cab anywhere. They're always right there waiting. The fares added up to be more than it would have cost to rent a car, but we weren't ready to drive on this trip. The roads are well maintained but very narrow, steep, and twisting. They drive on the opposite side from the US, but the vehicles are lefthand drive like here, not righthand drive as in Britain. We went up to a place called Drake's Seat, where we had panoramic views of Magan's Bay and Peterborg, St. John, the British Virgin Islands, St. Croix, and Charlotte Amalie. This viewpoint is higher than Paradise Point (skyride) and offers better views for the same cab fare without the charge for the lift ride. We also enjoyed Coral World aquarium and Coki Beach (about a 10 minute ride from Secret Harbour). Charlotte Amalie offers a lot of shopping, and the historical part of town was enjoyable to just walk around, enjoying the sights and the weather. We really enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend Secret Harbour and St. Thomas. We'll go back as soon as we can.

San Diego, CA
Cindy always helps us plan great trips! We have just dotted down some notes that we will share: Flights were great! *Delta charged us $15 each for 1 piece of checked luggage at check in which surprised us. *Alaska Airplanes were very nice! Hotel: Dana on Mission Bay *Clean and very comfortable *Grounds were beautiful *Hot tubs / pools were great *Complimentary continental breakfast was delicious! *Employees were very nice. Visited: *Navy Pier and the ship, Midway *Walked to Mission Beach a couple of times *On our walks we found a great pizza restaurant called Fillipi's. The waitresses there told us about a fantastic seafood restaurant in the same vicinity - "The Fishery" on Cass Street. The seafood was delicious! You could dress casually. *Took the ferry to Coronado Island and walked to see the Hotel del Coronado which was beautiful! *Gaslamp District - wandered around and had drinks at several of the bars in the area *San Diego seemed to be a very clean city. *We took a taxi or walked everywhere and were happy with that decision. We don't like driving in the big city and the parking everywhere was expensive! Minneapolis Hotel Country Inn and Suites West Bloomington was a fantastic way to start and end the trip! As always, Cindy, thanks so much for all of your help. We will call you again!

Hawaiian Trip
We were very pleased with the trip Cindy helped us plan. The Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach resort was excellent! We would definitely stay there again. For people on their first trip to Hawaii the bus tour of Oahu is terrific to get a full overview of the island. All in all a great trip. We need to learn more about the other islands. We can't wait to go back!!

Rivera Maya-Excellence Resort
Johnny booked us another fabulous trip-this one took us to the Excellence Resort in Rivera Maya. The resort was very large and very lavish. The staff was extremely friendly (they even gave us a few poolside spanish lessons). The rooms were large and nice, complete with 24 hour room service. Adam did the scuba diving excursion part of a day and really enjoyed it. The excursion people were so friendly and had great suggestions so we did a snorkeling excursion the next day. I believe they said the Rivera Maya has the second largest barrier reef, next to the Great barrier reef. So we got to snorkel with a shark (a breed with no teeth, don't worry!) and a stingray. The food was excellent-I believe there were 8 or 9 different restaurants that ranged from Mexican to a lobster house. There was nightly entertainment as well as entertainment throughout the day (tequila tasting, spanish bingo, texas hold 'em lessons, volleyball, etc). We went on a complimentary tour to a near by town called Puerto Morelos. It was very uncommercialized and had very authentic food. The hotel took us to and from at no additional charge. As usual, we had a stress and worry free vacation at a fabulous resort, thanks to Johnny. We will be visiting the Excellence again and will continue to utilize Johnny in all our travel needs...After all, he's sent us to Rome, St. Lucia, Vegas, Mexico.....
