Planning a destination wedding?

Many little girls dream of their “big day” and what that will entail! As they grow older they may fine tune ideas that when you are 7 years old just don’t work when you are 27. Such as a horse drawn carriage in the snow may sound romantic but timing the weather can be a little tricky to say the least.

Another dream is being married with your “toes in the sand.” This vision is easy to have come true.
Especially in Hawaiian Islands where are average weather is 75 degrees year round.

Granted some islands in Hawaii can have a bit more rain than others. This all depends on the time of year and location of your beach wedding.

Travel to Maui is a Hawaiian travel agency located on the island of Maui. Our specialty is honeymoons and destination wedding travel packages to Hawaii.

Marie Glodt Maui Master and travel agent at Travel to Maui

Travel to Maui

When planning the vacation of your lifetime, or perhaps your honeymoon and you wanted to go to Maui, Hawaii, wouldn’t you want to work with an experienced travel professional who has have been there first? Wouldn’t you feel more confident with a travel agent who knew the best places to stay, wonderful places to eat, and what tours to not miss! Of course you would!

That’s why travel agent Marie Glodt of Travel to Maui in Maui, Hawaii took the time and effort to become a Maui Master with the Hawaiian Visitor and Convention Bureau.



The Maui Master program is an intensive training program that the Hawaiian Visitor Bureau office offers to travel agents. Agents don’t get certified until they attend a 6 day workshop to learn about the destination and vacation options. They must also take a trip to the islands of Maui County and experience the islands first-hand. This includes the islands of Maui, Lanai and Molokai.





A lot of people have a life long dream of visiting Hawaii. Glodt says that being a Maui Master’s Agent has given her the ability to make people’s dreams come true!
“There is no more romantic place than Hawaii for a honeymoon or anniversary. But that’s not all. There are wonderful cruises throughout the islands. There’s also world-class scuba diving and yachting.”

Fun things to see and do in Hawaii in 2011

As the weather starts to cool in the United States and Canada many folks start thinking of a vacation or holiday in a warmer climate.



With year round weather in Hawaii averaging 75 degrees it is no wonder a Hawaiian vacation is most people’s first choice.

One of the benefits of booking your travel early is you get the best travel promotions.
It also allows you time to plan what you are going to see and do when you are in Hawaii.

As a Hawaii travel agent and resident of the island of Maui I like to promote events that may not be in any guide book or online website.

Listed here for your convenience are a few of my favorite events upcoming in Hawaii for 2011.


Starting in December the humpback whales start arriving from the cooler waters in Alaska. Whale watch tours are done on all of the islands, but I find that Maui has the calmest waters and best conditions for viewing whales.

In addition to our seasonal whale watching tours you can also enjoy a festive luau, a beautiful snorkel sail, romantic dinner cruises or just hop in your car and drive around the island checking out the local events.
