Thank you for supporting the show! Try GoToMeeting free for 30 Days! (http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;243117703;65808005;z) COHOSTED SEGMENT Jay Rubenstein of the Royal Kona Resort (http://www.royalkona.com/) joins the show and tells us about the great amenities of the resort and the fantastic value offered to your clients. The Royal Kona (http://www.royalkona.com/) is a privately owned resort on the Big Island of Hawaii and offers a taste of old Hawaii with modern facilities and unparalleled customer service. Jay describes the resort, amenities, food and the specials offered to your clients at the resort. We started this segment with Lorene but here Mifi connection failed. Lorene visited the Royal Kona Resort (http://www.royalkona.com/) on her recent NACTA fam trip and was very impressed by the facility. Unfortunately she was not able to share her enthusiasm about the resort when Jay was on the show. So, we brought Lorene back for another segment where she relates her impressions and experiences with the resort. You can contact Jay at jayr@hawaiianhotels.com or give him a call at (808) 930-3249. Or you can visit their travel agent website at www.hhrtravelagents.net (http://www.hhrtravelagents.net/). Jay will take care of your clients and you when you book at the Royal Kona Resort (http://www.royalkona.com/). I know you will get a sense of the great customer service he provides when you listen to the interview. Travel News We did not have a travel news segment in today's show. We did this in the interest of time because our goal is to keep the show within a forty minute time frame. We substituted Lorene's impressions of the Royal Kona Resort (http://www.royalkona.com/) for the news segment.
