My Top Five Customer Service Wins in Kaua’i
This is my final blog post on our recent trip to the Hawaiian island of Kaua’i. It is a look at some of the businesses that impressed me with the service or food they provide to their customers. First on the list is the valet parking service at the Sheraton in Poi’pu. These guys treated [...]
Condo Rentals on Kaua’i
After leaving the comfort of the Sheraton at Poi’Pu we headed north to a privately owned condo and then a condo managed by a professional management team. There were significant differences in the way the two condos were operated. The view from both condos was beautiful partly because they are situated right on a golf [...]
Sheraton Poipu, Kaua’i
While on our recent family trip to the Hawaiian island of Kaua’i we had the opportunity to stay in a number of accommodations. The first place we stayed was the Sheraton in Poi’Pu. After the Sheraton we went north on the island to the community of Hanalei where we stayed in a privately owned condo, another [...]
Grand Hyatt Poi’pu Kaua’i
The Internet service here on Kaua’i has been more than a little unreliable so I have not logged about our accommodations as much as I had intended. As such, I have a number of blog posts in development; one about the Sheraton in Poi’pu, another about the Westin at Princeville, and one more about staying [...]
Robinsmith Family Vacation Kauai; Day One
We left home this morning at about 10am. Although the sign on the highway before the 176th Street exit said that entry to the USA would take an hour, within thirty minutes we were south of the border. First stop was Bellis Fair Mall where we found that kid shoes are approximately the same price [...]
Travel with toddlers; Kauai bound
It is difficult to get my head around the idea as I am getting my coat and hat on to go outside, but in just over ten days I will be blogging with my Sweetheart and little angels from a beach on the Hawaiian island of Kauaui. Traveling with toddlers is not the simplest thing [...]
Neil Young & Crazy Horse take me back to my Country Home
Every now and then I get the urge to walk away from the city life and go back to my adopted hometown. Frozen water pipes, icy roads, slow internet connections and the best people in the world … Neil Young & Crazy Horse … Country Home … Enjoy it. http://youtu.be/tMxtOdf41dA
Delta Vancouver Airport Hotel; Day 4.1 NaBloPoMo
The cell phone providers, cable and internet providers could learn a lesson or two from the Delta Hotel organization; in contrast to the telecoms, Delta Hotels work very diligently at keeping customers rather than just trying to attract new customers. And I like that. Although when I travel it is typically for work and thus [...]
Neighbour Gets a New Fence and a Visit from Fortis Gas and…
See this pretty new fence? How much do you think it would cost to have a fence like this built? There was probably not a whole lot of profit for the contractor in this lawn and fence install job. And why is that you ask? Because he forgot to do that “Call Before You Dig” thing. [...]
Front Porch; the Final Steps
I am pretty well exhausted after finishing off the front steps to the house so this will be an abbreviated post. Here are the stairs, in place. If you look carefully at them you will see that there is a third stringer in the middle of the stairs. This was a little improvement [...]
