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

Yes to
both of these, you may be the ideal

Honua
Kai - Size isn't everything, but...
|
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.
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:.
Once your clients have experienced Honua
Kai, they may never again settle for less.
