Sundance Vacations hosted their second customer service appreciation event on Saturday August 23^rd .  The event took place at the Esplanade Suites in Wildwood, New Jersey. Sundance Vacations wanted the opportunity to give back to their customers and say thank you. Many of the customers who were vacationing at the Esplanade were excited to see Sundance there to greet them. Frequent Sundance travelers staying at the hotel were treated to a lunch buffet, delicious desserts, and free Sundance gear. The children had fun with Customer Service Manager Judy Romanelli. Judy set up a cake eating contest as well as a hula-hoop contest. The winners received prizes varying from Sundance beach bags, to sand pails for the beach. Everyone had a great time sharing stories of their recent and past vacations. It was great meeting each customer and finally being able to put faces to the names over the phone. 

Hawaii is always a popular destination among travelers and it certainly ranks tops for me. During our most recent trip to Maui this summer my two teenage girls tried surfing. According to them, “It’s easier than it looks.”   We purchased a lesson from Maui Beach Boys.  They offer lessons at the Cove of Kalama Park. The Park is right in the middle of Kihei and close to the Maui Banyan, our home property on Maui.  

We booked a group lesson but there were only 4 people total in the group so it was like a semi private lesson anyway.  The out of water instruction was brief and the girls quickly made for the water to learn by doing.  The instructor helps each person judge and catch the wave, so Madison was able to stand up on her first wave.
