The Spirit of Aloha in Quarantine... (NOTE: This is information from an interview with Brian and Rowena Vasquez's first hand account. Medical advise and references for Coronavirus related matters should be derived from the WHO (https://www.who.int) or CDC (https://www.cdc.gov).) Brian and Rowena Vasquez, ambassadors of Aloha for Princess Cruise Lines, ukulele and hula instructors are locked in but not down. These two can be counted on for a smile or kind word not matter where they are. Brian even plays "Over The Rainbow" at the conclusion of the episode and it is a delight. https://imagery.zoogletools.com/u/43206/0c464ebfa7fefda69e675a0b484842557cb0b131/original/BR-cropped.jpg A regularly scheduled itinerary to Hawaii turned into Pacific circling when information surfaced that a guest on the previous sailing tested positive for Covid-19. San Francisco's mayor refused to allow the ship to doc and so it circled... for days. The onboard map showed the ship's path looking something like a toddlers repeat first attempts at round shapes. Finally, reaching an agreement with the city of, Oakland, California, they were allowed to dock. Persons needing medical attention were evacuated first. Then, according to Brian and Rowena, the CDC took over. Princess staff complied and adapted to everything asked of them. The remaining passengers were delayed getting off the ship by union members (Rowen assumes longshoremen) claiming unloading contracts and requiring additional time to get union laborers to the docks. Union members then refused to load baggage onto the passenger shuttle busses as this task did not fall into their labor contract. This delayed disembarkation further as Princess employees now had to return to the ship dock to take the task over. Guests and crew were largely waiting nervous and without information at this time. As a company caught in the middle of CDC, State/ Federal government regulations, unions and a damning news cycle Princess Cruise Lines was battered by a storm worse than any they've faced on the open sea. Brian and Rowena are quick to point out that as the changes came, new procedures rolled out, new isolation policies put in place Princess employees were amazing through out. Captain John Smith proved to be a leader and encourager in a way he likely never thought her would have to be. Prior to docking in Oakland, the ships programming and operations took shape in a new way. The dining rooms were shut down. Menus were delivered to each room three times a day for guests to order. The staff snapped into action adapting to the new routine. Bars were put on carts and guests were served in their rooms. Brian and Rowena pitched in and helped to entertainment staff create and deliver daily activity pack to each room. The contents were items like, quiz and trivia sheets to do along with the ships onboard televised programming. Rowena also provided hula lessons for in-room learning. After the debacle of waiting to disembark persons were dispersed to four locations. Brian and Rowena are in condo like complex with other persons from the ship. They are served by military members in hazmat suits. They are in a one bedroom unit and can access a common kitchen area stocked with excellent snack foods. There is also an area to get outside. Brain strolls and Rowen power walks her way around. They try to go out very early and late to avoid contact with other people. Brian and Rowena are keeping busy while in quarantine. (Well... Rowena pokes fun at Brian for being lazy and not writing another album... he just chuckles.) Rowena is writing her second book on native knowledge and culture lessons she was raised with. She recently released "Random Acts of Aloha (https://www.amazon.com/Random-Acts-Aloha-Rowena-Vasquez/dp/1091109400/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=random%20acts%20of%20aloha&qid=1584818732&sr=8-1&fbclid=IwAR1Rc8M5eHX6mhFFpnFgiehndOaNM_vDmVFUJEHT68i4xE2W8jdZoNqocLw)" on Amazon. At the time of recording (Friday, March 20th, 2020 GMT) Brian and Rowen were both healthy. They had been tested and awaiting results. Of the initial crew members that tested positive (assumed count 19) most are reported to be fully recovered. Most are of the crew are residents of the Philippines. They are back in the Philippines for 14 days of quarantine. https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/0/037e01ef-c3bb-4048-9bb2-f57e8e9144e2/Ignm88Dq.jpg unsplash-logoLucie Dawson Closing the program, Brian blesses us with a playing of, "Over the Rainbow" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Rainbow).

Shari Kavalin is back with her good nature, gift for planning unique itineraries and love of cats. If you have ever wanted to cruise with fellow cat lovers on a Celebrity Cruise Line out of Florida... OR... Hunt down the Northern Lights on an adults only, brand new, ultra luxury liner this is the episode for you! Shari give great details on both the Hunt for the Northern Lights cruise itinerary and the amazing new ship. If you are familiar with the Viking River Cruise model of luxury, all-inclusive style cruising you will love how Viking has applied it to their new, luxury, ocean vessels. These ships hold under 1,000 passengers and can sail into waterways large ships just can't navigate. The typical person hunting for the northern lights bundles up, and trudges into the cold in hopes for seeing the lights while they struggle to stay warm. Why not float in luxury accommodation, in the right ports, at the right time of year with a hot chocolate or champagne instead? Shari, has a group started and has a few remaining cabins. Check this off your bucket list in 2019. Reserve your space now because it's a small ship!

Megan and the Quimbys talk RFID wallets before cussing and discussing the 24hr decision for Kim to pursue a career as a travel agent. Keith shortly followed Kim into a career filled with exciting trips around the world golfing the best courses, fine dining and friendship! unsplash-logoKenan Kitchen **TRANSCRIPT AVAILABLE (http://travelagentinterview.com/articles/couples-golf-tournaments-around-the-world-with-the-quimby-s) ---> Excerpt:** "Megan Chapa: Amazon is getting a good plug from us today. All right, thank you guys for that input. I think we should move on to the section that's about you guys, the stars of our show. Kim, would you be able to tell us a little bit about you guys as a couple and how you got into the travel industry in the first place? Kim Quimby: We've been married for quite awhile and Keith came home one day and he was working in the defense industry and informed that he was going to take early retirement and in that conversation it's quite difficult on me... He informed me that we would not be able to travel as much because he was taking early retirement and that I would have to find something to do in order to supplement our income if I wanted to continue to travel. Basically, I went out and decided and looked for about 24 hours and decided the best thing for me to do is to become a travel agent. I studied and trained and went north towards a local travel agent here in Greenville, Texas and became a travel agent. Megan Chapa: That seems like a pretty good solution to the problem that Keith dropped on you all of a sudde! Kim Quimby: He did drop it on me. Megan Chapa: It seems like it worked out for the best though. Keith Quimby: Yes it did and after she worked I guess almost two years and I continued out working at the defense company and when I finally retired I joined her and then around that same time we found Anita and that was a really great match. Megan Chapa: What agency are you guys with right now? Kim Quimby: We're with Ticket To Travel. Megan Chapa: That's fantastic. I hear good things about that agency. Let's talk about the area of travel that you guys specialize in. Keith Quimby: We specialize in a number of areas but they're all focused around leisure travel and our specialty is in the area of groups and many of our groups are golf groups. We do couples tournaments. We've done two this year. We plan to continue that trend and it's a great opportunity for couples that love to play golf and travel. We go to some great courses around the world mostly in the Caribbean. We just got back from Hawaii playing some beautiful courses on the big island near Kona. We finished up with a fantastic golf course in Princeville on the island of Hawaii, just wonderful people. It's all about the golf and it's all about getting to know other couples with very similar wants and desires as far as how they like to travel, their comfort and as well as enjoy the competition of the golf tournament." Special Guest: Kim and Keith Quimby.
