Dear Dave,

 

For those of you still in Winter's deep freeze, don't hate us on the west coast where we are enjoying above average temperatures and sunny skies.  In fact, Spring has come to the Vancouver area a few weeks early.  I took these photos over a week ago along the New Westminster river Quay (boardwalk).

As an amateur photographer, I enjoy taking my images, even from my cell phone, and turning them into some digital art.  

 Spring is a great time to enjoy the colours.

Ok, some of you were wondering how it went at our annual Oscar party.  I ended up on top with 20 out of 24 correct predictions. That was just ahead of Shelley, who got 19 correct. 

We all predicted that Neil Patrick Harris would be awesome (everything is)...and he was.  How did you do?  Did you predict that "Birdman" would take the big prize?

 

Happy selling!

 

Dave Emery

El Cid Mazatlan FAM FAM

Are you a full-time travel agent?  

Has it been a decade or more since you have visited Mazatlan, or have never been there?

If you answered Yes to both of these, you may be the ideal candidate for our upcoming FAM.  El Cid resorts, along with our generous partners, WestJet Vacations and the Mazatlan Hotel Association will sponsor this FAM from April 18-22.  We have seats on the direct flights from YYC, and connecting flights from YEG, YVR and YWG.  The price is only $300 CAD.  This FAM, with single room occupancy at the El Cid Castilla Beach, has dual goals of allowing the agents to get to know Mazatlan as a destination, as well as the 4 El Cid resorts.

 

We have only a few seats still available, so email Dave (dave@daemery.com) for your application now.

Let's face it, that the last thing people want to do on holiday, is spend a lot of time in the hotel/condo. Well, that is, unless the condo is huge and incredibly luxurious. Honua Kai Resort & Spa was built from the ground up to go beyond what your clients would expect. Honua Kai lanai

To begin with, all of Honua Kai's accommodations are suites - from a roomy Studio Suite with approximately 595 sq. ft. to a palatial 2,650 sq. ft. Specialty Suite. Each suite features a private bathroom for each bedroom and so many more unexpected luxuries. The gourmet kitchens are all equipped with high-end Bosch appliances. Every fixture, every furnishing, every feature of the open floor plan has been designed to take Maui luxury accommodations to an entirely new level.

 

Here is a summary of the sizes of the Honua Kai suites:.
