NEW TO TRAVEL
Hi Pamela,
We cannot Thank you guys enough. We are real amateurs at travel, unless we
are pulling the travel trailer.
Kristi has been great and walked us through the whole travel experience and we were thrilled with the rate for the resort and flight. We feel very special to have the owner of the travel agency in the family looking out for us.
have my very first passport in hand and look forward to using more often. Be assured we will be calling you when we are ready for our next adventure and I will report when we get home from this trip.
Give Kristi our thanks.

YANGTZEE RIVER CRUISE
China exceeded our expectations. I was so impressed by how clean and safe the country was.
The hotels, the boat and the staff were really five star. October was the perfect time to go. Temperatures were still warm and the humidity was low. I think the highlight, besides the Great Wall, was Xian - seeing the Terra Cotta Warriors and attending a great Tang Dynasty show.

FIJI SMALL SHIP
Hi Pamela,
Jim and I had the best time of our lives. The Tui Tai ship was truly an experience I will remember for the rest of my life. And guess what...they upgraded us to a suite [your doing?] ? The food was some of the best food I have ever had. The chef was fabulous! Every meal was gourmet. We went to three different ceremonies on three different islands.
There were 14 guests onboard ~ Jim and I, John the Englishman who was there mainly to dive. He would go on three dives a day. And then the rest.....11 Russians who did not speak English except one, Sergey
Thank you for all the arrangements ~ it could not have been better!!
Best regards, Candy
COLUMBIA RIVER SMALL SHIP
Pamela:
Just a line to thank you for all the help you gave me with the Snake River trip........all went off very smoothly. I particularly enjoyed the lecturer, Todd Weber, who made the Lewis and Clarke exploratory trip come alive. I will probably consider doing an east coast or Florida trip next summer.

GREECE ON A MEGA YACHT!
We had an amazing time; everything was as I had imagined and hoped.
The boat was great including the 27 other guest; it was a mix of people from the US and from around the world as you had said. All were fun and interesting.
All the other arrangements that you made were excellent and well-executed.
Renting the car on Crete was a blast and the GDM in Heraklion is excellent; I would highly recommend to anyone. We loved everything about the Casa Delfino in Chania….the décor, the people, the amazing breakfast including home made bakery goods, the view!
Thanks again for all your wise counsel.

DESTINATION WEDDING PROFESSIONALS
The wedding turned out wonderfully! The day was gorgeous! You were right about the waters! OMG they are gorgeous! We took photos in the direct sunlight to get the blues of the water. We really liked the Cancun Palace. The staff was super friendly and they were quick to respond to our requests. The wedding coordinator was so sweet! She was always available for questions, etc.
I wish we would have taken you up on changing resorts for the honeymoon. We still had several guests in town and felt like we kind of entertained the rest of our trip. So---that is the advice I would offer to your other brides!
Thanks again for all of your help Kristi!! We had the most amazing time!

G'day from Australia
Having returned safely home, I wish to thank you again for facilitating a fantastic holiday in the US. Every day brought me new discoveries and excitement. Above all, I appreciated the warmth and openness of the many people I met along the way.
I am sorry that I did not have the chance to meet you personally, although we had the pleasure of speaking over the phone. Perhaps one day you will come this way; if so please contact me.

Costa Rica Specialists!
Hello Pamela,
I have been meaning to write to you. Let me say I was not sure of you and your company at first. However, I would like you to know that was the best trip we have taken so far. I enjoyed it so much. You had it planned out so very well. I like how the people were there to pick us up on time. I love both places that we stayed. The activities you set up were a delight.
I promise you we will do business again. Pura Vida...means Pure Life...

When Under Pressure!
Hello Pamela,
After speaking with you this afternoon and realizing that we would be unable to get to the funeral from Machu Picchu, we spoke with the family in Dallas.
We have now decided to keep the tickets we purchased earlier active (I was getting ready to change them, since he had died) and therefore go to Dallas in May, as was our original plan.
We realize and appreciate the time and concern you showed to us in this attempt to juggle the schedule. Times like these bring out the best in people, and it shows for you!

Perfect Adventure Arrangements
Subject: Trip report!!! WOW
Hi Pam,
What a trip. I can't tell you how specail and wonderful this adventure was for Frank and me. It far exceeded our expectations in every way. I understand that it isn't the trip for those who expect chocolate on their pillows every day, maid service and spacious rooms. This was like "camping on the ocean" but I would bet that our chef and his helper did a better job than most, especially with the small kitchen that they had to work in. The meals were outstanding and I now have 10 extra pounds to work off!!! This was truly the experience of a lifetime. Nice people and a crew that was enthusiastic and as excited as we were with all the wildlife that we experienced. Doing a trip this early was new for all of the crew and they were amazed as what we saw. Thankfully, all 22 of us were "birds of a feather" and enjoyed every minute of this extraordinary trip. Thanks for setting it up for us and making all the arrangements. Everything went like clockwork except for the broken water line at our home in Tucson!!! They had 3 days that never got above freezing and there were broken pipes everywhere. Thank goodness for our neighbor,
If you have any questions or need any more detail about Searchers. let me know. Take care.
Ann and Frank S
Tanner,
You are AWESOME!!! I can't thank you enough. I am going to be at Starbucks at around 4:30pm I am going to try and stop by to meet you and talk about planning a trip to mexico for my son and me.

Hello Kristi,,
My wife and I were so happy and so impressed with the help you got us for our honeymoon to the Valentin in Playa del Carmen this Spring.
We're now moved to Los Angeles and having fun. Annie is 5 months pregnant with our daughter!
I want to take her to Catalina Island for Valentine's Weekend. Do you know of anything good?
Just if you have a line on this; I'm not asking you to hike to the moon for us on this one :-)
Thanks,
Leif
During London December Snow blizzard, we've taken care of those who just need us!
Pamela,
We are [now] in Orlando. We don't leave [for London] until 6:30 tomorrow night on British Air. We had another travel agent make our London [flight] reservations, but after this experience we are using you for all our travel!
I couldn't reach her until 10 a.m. As I said to John today you have a staff, set business hours, an emergency number; a real professional.
Debbie
Hey Pamela...just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been working with you over the last several years....you are a true professional! Merry Christmas to you and best wishes for the New Year!

Pamela,
Your help and guidance at the beginning was great. You understood what we were looking for in a vacation and sent in the right directions. Thank you. I do not know what else to say about our experience except it was fantastic.
Take care and we will hopefully talk to you again [when] we make further travel plans.

Kristi,
We can't say enough great things about the place [Secrets Maroma], and were glad you helped us find it. It was nice that everyone remembered your name, out of hundreds of people they meet, and everyone was so friendly and energetic all the time; Very polite...
Thanks again for all your help and patience with us! We truly had a wonderful time, and were very happy with our decision! In time, some day, FIJI is still on our to-do list. THANKS AGAIN!
Amanda & Brad
Kristi, Wonderful Trip!!! The Celebrity Solstice cruise far exceeded my expectations. The ship was very nice and the food was really off the charts. So good in fact that by the end of the trip my pants barely fit me.
Thanks again for setting this up for us- wonderful job as always.

Hello Pamela,
Thank you for everything! The trip was amazing and we really appreciate your patience with us in dealing with all of our issues. We had an awesome time and it worked wonders for our marriage as well!

Hi, Guys:
Out on the river at 6:30 AM this Foggy Borneo morning. Today we ventured up a narrow stream that led away from the main river, ducking branches and hanging vines and checking them to make sure they were Pit-Viper-free. I've got a picture of one that I spotted on a limb at the Orang utan sactuary in Sandakan. We spotted no less than four Orng utans at various locations, something that is very rare. Of course, there were a lot of other primates, monkeys, there too, and birds you'd have to see to believe.
Day after tomorrow, I head to Bali, by way of Kuala Lampore.
PS Pamela W: So far the scheduling has worked perfectly, smooth as a well oiled machine.

Tanner,
Cruise is fantastic. Suite is amazing-ridiculous- tell your mom thanks again.

Hi Pamela,
On behalf of myself and Stephen McGhee Leadership, I really want to acknowledge and thank you for handling out travel plans so professionally. I realize the legal name situation caused you an extra step and I really appreciated your patience and thoroughness. When we find a replacement for Mark C I will contact you to see what we can do to get the new person on the same flight down with the others.
I did mention to you that we have a blog that follows the program these men have signed up for. I encourage you to check it out for it's beyond just climbing a mountain. It's about the inner transformation of these 7 men as they prepare for the climb. The web site is below. Please share this with others who might have an interest in following the team. As I said also, we are filming the entire program as a documentary.

Thank you SOOOO much for everything Pamela. I know you worked very hard on everything, and particularly with all the changes we had the week we left. We appreciate it so much! I have attached some pictures for you, one in each place we visited. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions or need anything else.

Dear Pamela,
Thank you so much for your assistance with our travels. We had a marvelous 25th anniversary in Oahu and really enjoyed the additional amenities you arranged at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We'll keep you in mind for future travel plans!
Sincerely,
Amy and Steve
Denver Travel is an excellent travel agency! In an age where premium service is harder and harder to find especially in the travel arena, Pamela Wilson has built a great agency built on attentive and quality travel services. Kristi Zalesky, one of Pamela's agents, recently set us up for a vacation to Riviera Maya, Mexico at the Valentin Imperial Maya. Her research was impeccable, suggestions excellent and level of service in arranging the trip, transfers and rooms supreme. We HIGHLY suggest using Denver Travel and Kristi for your next trip or adventure!
Ed and Laura W.
"Thank you so much Kristi! You've been such an amazing help, really. I'm not going to be working the 2 weeks before the big day, so I'll definitely make a stop by to see you!

Hi Pamela,
First of all I would like to thank you on the great work you have done for Steve and my trip to Australia. Everything was exceptional! I now know why Steve speaks so highly of you.

Your service has been exceptional. I have your name on file and when we do travel I will be calling you.
Thanks,

Pamela,
We just wanted to thank you again for helping us celebrate our anniversary on the Princess cruise. We had a WONDERFUL time. We had our cabin upgraded (your doing??) to a fabulous room with a balcony and plenty of closet and storage space, we felt so blessed. Thank you again for making the arrangements - everything worked out perfectly, from Seattle onwards. Other than the fact that Dan gained 10 pounds, and I refuse to step on the scale, we have nothing but great memories.
Hugs,
Gail and Dan H.
Thank you so much, Kristi! I really appreciate how thorough you are! :)
Sara B.
We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job you are doing. You are terrific!
Thank you for everything.
Kristin
Hi Kristi!
We just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your assistance in getting us back from Saint Lucia. There is no way we would book a trip like this without you in the future. We have some pics and I will send you a link later in the week.
Again, thank you so very much!
Andrew & Erin
Jane's wedding was really beautiful and quite the setting. She did nothing but rave about how you tolerated her million phone calls and questions. We understand her honeymoon was very nice and she appreciated all you did for her.
Wishing you the best in 2010, and we will keep in touch.
Good morning Pamela,
This is an excerpt from the compliment I filed with the BBB this morning about working with Denver Travel...
"Owner Pamela Wilson was arranging a Mexico trip for my family of three in January 2009. She ran into some immediate concerns with our hotel that would have affected the quality of our stay. Throughout the week-long process of addressing our concerns, she updated us regularly with what was sometimes bad news (i appreciated that she kept us informed!). In the end, she ended up getting us even better accommodations and at a lower price, and yes, she even wrote us a check for the amount we saved. It truly felt like Pamela fought for our best interests - something I don't see much these days from businesses - and it was a pleasure working with her and the whole team at Denver Travel."
Just thought you should know - and thanks again for helping us with our Mexico trip earlier this year!
Sincerely,
Patrick, Heather & Josie O''M
Consumer's Desires Resolution by BBB:
No settlement - I'm looking forward to going back and booking my 3rd trip through Denver Travel!
It was a wonderful vacation and you did an excellent job setting everything up just right for us, so thank you so much!
I am also very excited for my NY trip on Friday and b-day party. I got the show tickets in the mail (thankyou); I'm looking forward to that. I really appreciate your help with all our recent trips and will let you know how it goes when I get back home from CR.
Take care, Angie
I had a blast! Thank you very much for coordinating everything for me. I will keep your information for future trips.
Kelly
Pam, it was great. The cruise was more like an expedition than a boat ride. We saw just about all of the wildlife we wanted to. Transfers, hotels, etc. were all a piece of cake.
Thanks for your help.
David R.
Dear Pamela,
The trip on American Safari was unbelievable! On a scale of 1 to 10, we would rate it a 20! The ship was comfortable, the food was great, and the crew was fantastic. We had wonderful weather - warm and sunny. We could not have asked for anything more. The crew could not do enough for us and they just went out of their way to make sure that we had a great time. We went to one magical place after another. Thanks for your help - we had a lovely vacation.
Leslie S.
Hi Pamela:
Just wanted to thank you for planning our incredible trip to Africa. Everything was perfect - we wouldn't have changed a thing! What an amazing experience!!
Thanks again,

Pamela, Hello again.
Since you did such a spectacular job on saving our cruise … Thanks,
The Stuarts and us can't wait to use that nice discount you got for us and repeat that Greek cruise. It was great
Lois G. p.s.
Thank you Pamela! We really appreciate all your help & hard work! We'll send you some pictures after. :-)
Angie
We had a WONDERFUL time. Thanks so much for your help.
Might be interested in an Alaska cruise next summer... I hear there may be some kid-related specials. Any recommendations?
Jason S.
Thanks for the extra effort
Pamela,
Thanks for taking the time to let me know all the stuff it takes to have made my trip so complete, I appreciate your patience with me.
Thanks
Merrie W.
Everything was fantastic to our accommodations, food, facilities, staff were very friendly and the people on board were lovely, they called us the Irish as we were the only ones from Ireland, I want to thank you for all your help in helping us choose this vacation it was a holiday of a lifetime, but it has spoiled us because we will have to do another cruise, and we are looking at the 7 day Mediterranean Cruise which starts on 19th September 2010 I will be in touch regarding that. I have enclosed photos of myself and Henry one is taken in the Discovery Restaurant and the other is taken at the Trevi Fountain in Rome before our cruising adventure. Pam could you give me a price on the Cruise that I have stated. Thanks again
Talk to you soon
Kind Wishes from two very happy people
Fiona Blount
Kristi,
We got the wine just before we left. Waiheke was so fun that we barely spent any time in our room so we never saw it. We have it now though and are planning to bring it with us today on our boat trip. That upgrade sounds great. Thanks for working it for us. I was just mentioning to Cristin last night that I am so pleased with the experience. You have really made this special for us and we will go this route with you for sure in the future.
Psdavis
Pamela, thanks for all your help. I did not expect this kind of service on Easter Sunday.
Regards, David S.
Kristi,
WOW the boatshed is amazing. We are blown away by the service and setting. Anyway, I am not able to get to email as easy as I hoped so wanted to drop you a quick line and tell you thank you for setting this all up. It's been seamless and easy and we really appreciate that.
Thanks, Pamela, for keeping me in the loop. I'll let you know when the check arrives. I appreciate all of your hard work on this refund.
Mazie M.
Dan is getting soooo excited (so am I!) It is truly helpful to have someone like you to assist us!
hugs,
Gail
Thank you so much for your help with the Kid's honeymoon. They are now enjoying the process of finding the right place for them.
Thanks,
Pam H.
Hi Pamela,
It was a fabulous trip! Everything went extremely smoothly. We were met at every location and shepparded through the airports, etc. The service was fantastic. We really enjoyed the cruise - we were the only ones on the sailboat (except for the crew and guide) so the personal attention was wonderful. The food on the boat was excellent and everyone was very friendly. We stopped at some less visited monuments/locations where we were the only tourists. It really gave a wonderful look at what life is like in Egypt along the Nile. We truly enjoyed the experience.
Thanks for all of your help in making the arrangements.
Theresa
Thanks for the note Pamela...it has been quite a rough week (as the layoff was quite unexpected for me)...but the big glimmer of hope was the magic you were able to do to get our trip cancelled 100%...we will definitely contact you as soon as I am employed again! Sure do appreciate it- and I'll tell all of my friends about your agency when they are looking for future trips...
Pam K
Hi Pamela,
Absolutely! This was just a fluke - but your service was fantastic - you did a great job!
I just wanted you to know what I really thought of the trip! I have been on 10-12 small ship cruises and the Cezanne was great - just a few problems for me - as I enjoy the variety of traveling companions and the on-board experience of mixing with many guests! This trip it didn't happen! Also the tours were just too much for me - interesting but way too long!
But yes, please keep us in mind and if any special trips come up let us know!!!
Denver Travel was not at fault at all!!! You were fantastic!!!
Thanks,
Kathleen H.
Hi Kristi,
Thanks for your email! Everything was PERFECT! We had an amazing wedding day - everything went according to plan :-) The honeymoon was amazing! The resort was beautiful and we were really sad to leave. We are already excited to book another trip! We will definitely be in contact with you. If I hear of anyone else looking to take a trip - I will pass them along to you guys! Thanks again for everything; we hope to work with you again . VERY SOON!!
:-)
Thank you,
Thank you,
Linsey P
Hi Kristi!
I just received your message asking for feedback on our trip. We had a great time. Don Cesar was a very nice hotel. They gave great customer care and were very accommodating. We found their beach was just as beautiful as Fort De Soto's and less crowded. Their pool area was also very nice. Especially considering that we had a very long vacation on a small budget, we had a great time. Thank you for your help!
Amy T
Hi Kristi,
We had a really wonderful time in Italy and we know that it would not have been nearly as good without you. We loved all of the restaurants that you suggested. We went to all of the towns you suggested plus some. I believe the best restaurant was the one you suggested we eat in was Osteria Alla Piazza in La Piazza. The pumpkin Squash Ravioli was amazing. Kristi, again we can not thank you enough we had a really great time. We could not have been more pleased.
Pam L.
Hi Kristi,
Deerfield Beach ended up being really nice and the Hojo was within walking distance to numerous restaurants and shops. The Patio Bar in the hotel was a particular favorite of ours and had the best pina coladas around. :-) We both got free cocktails for Jen's b-day! They also gave us an upgraded room so we would have an ocean view! Thanks again for setting up the trip for us!
