I just returned from a quick trip to the Hawaiian Islands where I met with many of our sales representatives and conducted sales training for our suntan consultants and spa personnel.
If you are contemplating a trip to Hawaii now is a great time to do it. Although the resorts are not desolate as many of the gloom and doom crowd predicted (thankfully), it is not as crowded as in the past. So, it makes for a much more pleasant trip. No parking worries, no traffic, short or no wait at even the most popular restaurants. It was great.
If you are on Kauai, make sure to stop at the Kauai Hilton and say hello to Robert Virgillitti (B.V. to his friends) who presides over the pool shop pretty much everyday. B.V. is doing a great job for us and really knows how to take care of his clients. He also offers the largest selection of Absolutely Natural products on any island and includes several spa products (facials, bath & body oils, Shea butter, foot creme) and even our personal care line.
On Maui I did several clinics and had a great turn out for a Beach Activities of Maui meeting. A lot of new sales associates and some veterans participated in a lively meeting and I appreciate their enthusiasm and dedication to the product. You can get Absolutely Natural at every hotel in Kaanapali except the Kaanapali Alii and the Westin (what is wrong with them!) as well as the Marriott Wailea.
I highly recommend visiting one of these properties to get a clinic and some great Absolutely Natural products from one of our associates. Give us a call at 1-800-848-8498 to see if your hotel is represented and if not, check out and go to one that has Absolutely Natural!
Finally, I really enjoyed meeting with the fantastic crew of Mike Kelley's Spa at Black Rock. We did two training sessions and I believe these spa experts are about the best I have worked with ... knowledgeable, passionate and caring. A trip to the Spa at Black Rock at the Sheraton Hotel is a must do. The spa is new, stylish, intimate and has an incredible family atmosphere.

Take care
