Who is “See The South Pacific.com?”

Aloha and mahalo for visiting my website!

My name is Teresa Nelle, I am a Travel Agent with 20 years of experience and I am passionate about assisting my Clients with their travel requests to exotic and unique destinations. I love to travel and when I work with a Client, I feel like I am planning my own personal holiday - its fun and exciting - then I love to hear about how their trip was when they return!

I am the Owner of Luxury Hideaways which is affiliated with Park Avenue Travel, a Virtuoso Agency. I have lived on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii for 20 years so obviously I am a Hawaii Specialist! I love living here and enjoy sharing my “kama’aiana” knowledge with my Clients! I have traveled extensively thru the South Pacific, having visiting the Fiji Islands 5 times as well as Australia & New Zealand. I have also sent many Clients to the Cook Islands, Samoa and as well as the islands of Tahiti.

HAWAII LESSON: Kama’aina is the Hawaiian language word for long-term resident of the Hawaiian Islands. It derives from the words ‘kama’, meaning ‘child’, and ‘aina’, meaning ‘land’.

The South Pacific is at the top of my list of travel destinations. I hope you enjoy visiting this site and do return to keep up with whats new and happening. Please also visit www.LuxuryHideaways.net.  On both sites you will find happy love letters from my past Clients.  I also have www.OnlyCruisesTravel.com highlighting small ship cruises around the world.

Luxury Hideaways is rated A+ by Better Business Bureau! (the highest rating available) I am also accredited with the Fiji Visitors Bureau, Hawaii Visitors Bureau, Australia Visitors Bureau as well as the Italian Visitors Bureau.

Last year I spent a month in Europe where I fell in love with the city of Rome, enjoyed a private walking tour of all things Rome (which I highly recommend), visited the ancient site of Pompeii with a Tour Guide from the Archeological Society of Pompeii as well as cruised the Mediterranean on a Windstar cruises, (which is a small cruise ship company) and visited the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cinque Terre. Feel free to contact me about European travel as I just sent a family to the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain where they had their own private balconey in the shade!

My life motto is a wonderful saying by Mark Twain:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain

See you in paradise!

The Star Flyer Tall Ship is sailing to the Mediterranean in 2010

Star Clippers Tall Ships - Discover a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are combined with the modern comforts and amenities of the present.

Perfect for cruising in casual elegance, the Star Flyer will be leaving Tahiti and sailing for the Mediterranean, the exotic Far East and the Caribbean.

You are invited to join the Star Flyer crew on a trip of a lifetime. You’ll be able to jump on board along the way or just take the month off and sail half way around the world with them!

As the Star Flyer makes its way back to the Mediterranean from Tahiti, the itinerary includes a 34-night voyage from Papeete, Tahiti, to Balboa, Panama.
The ship will make maiden calls at Hiva Oa and Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands before heading east across the Pacific.

If you would like to cruise the world aboard a ship carrying only 128 passengers, Call Me at 1-800-644-6659

Sail the Islands of Tahiti - Best Vacation Value on the Market!

Star Clipper Cruises - Don’t miss the boat!! ½ price Tahiti - rates from $1,013.00 per person!
Now is the time to cruise the exotic islands of Tahiti aboard a yacht at large cruiseship pricing - this is too good to pass up!

Tahiti is traditionally one of the more expensive destinations for honeymoon couples as there are no all inclusive resorts and their dollar is based on the Euro.

The most cost efficient way to visit the romantic islands of Tahiti is on a cruiseship due to the all inclusive nature of your meals, transfers and accomodations (stateroom) are included in the price.

Why I am so excited is that the costing Star Clippers is offering their guests are the rates to be found on a ship that holds 2,000 plus people whereas the Star Clipper Cruises carriy a mere 128 passengers. It is really more of a yacht then a cruiseship.

Even more reason to jump on board now, is beginning Feb 2010 the Star Flyer will be leaving Tahiti! Prior to her leaving for the Mediterranean, I urge you to slow down, step back in time and see the islands the way they were meant to be seen.

You must hurry - offer expires June 15, 2009! Cruise only rate - restrictions apply. Ask about low airfare from LAX too.

Call 800 644-6659 or email Teresa@luxuryhideaways.net for more information.
