AATPA NOTES:

*** Christmas Bonuses ??
Do you or your employer give out yearly Christmas bonuses? Why not give (or get) a trip
to Hawaii for your top staff members at Christmas. Everyone likes to get $$ at Christmas,
but they seldom remember a year later how much it was, who gave it, and whether they
spent it on the mortgage, roof repairs, or the kids allowance. If they are given a trip, they
will remember you for life. Give the gift of Hawaii.

We have Hawaii packages "ready-to-go" that you can buy now with a $400.00 deposit and give it at
Christmas. The employee may travel anytime after Christmas, and you, the employer, remains in control.
You don't pay the balance due until 30 days before he/she departs. If he/she terminates employment
before traveling, you may cancel and request full refund, less cancel insurance and package fee.

Some samples of our packages may be viewed on our Pleasant Holidays booking engine. This will give
you an idea of how little a simple trip to Hawaii actually costs. <www.AATPA.com/phh>
But don't actually book online - call us (AATPA) since these Xmas packages are special - 800-975-2992

HAWAII NEWS:

*** 2 New Ways to Travel Inter Island are coming to Hawaii -
Unless you have a friend with a boat, the only way to travel between the main 6 islands is by air.
There is a small ferry service from Lahaina, Maui to Molokai and Lanai, but they don't move the masses.
The staple of inter island transportation over the years has been Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines.
In the past, a compliment of other small flying enterprises and even a ferry service or two have
come and gone, but this time it looks like we really might get something that will work.

1. The "FlyHawaii" enterprise will be a local commuter airline that
plans to be as simple as getting on "The Bus" with low fare flights
and walk up ticketing that will be a welcome change for local residents.


2. Called the "Super Ferry" or the "H4-project", a new inter island
ferry service based in Honolulu is planning to begin service in 2007.
Super Ferry will offer both passenger and vehicle transportation. The
project has been funded and the high speed boats are under construction.

HAWAII INTEREST:

Have you ever returned home from a Hawaii Vacation and then wondered what was
going on back in the islands? . . . yes, we all have. I once even subscribed to a
local Hawaii newspaper for delivery on the mainland, the only problem was, it
would arrive a week later.

SPORTS SPECIAL:
Congratulations to the Mater Dei High School Girls Volleyball Team of Santa Ana, Ca. who just won the
Fourth Annual Kaua‘i Challenge Volleyball Tournament against 15 other senior girls teams.

See article from Garden Island News, Kauai:

I mention this because we (AATPA) are proud to have been the travel arranger/planner for the entire
volleyball team and their coaches, family and friends. The team stayed at the beautiful Kauai Sheraton
Resort in Poipu, Kauai. . . . I would like to think that they won it all because their travel was the best (:-)!

NEXT ISSUE:
Our next issue (Oct) will have our new NCL CRUISE HAWAII specails listed.
We now have it all ready to go but didn't want to make this newletter too long.
Hawaii cruises are by far the best way to see all the major islands where you
only unpack once and have all your meals included. We have these specials on
our desk now, so please feel free to call. 800-975-2992
