What our travelers are saying:

“Each time I look at my pictures of our trip to Viet Nam and Cambodia I start thinking about where I want to go next with the Chamber. This trip was so well planned and more active than I had imagined - it was the best group trip I've been on, EVER! In the planning stages I was not too keen to be staying at 5-Star hotels, but after an action-packed day (plus some R & R) I LOVED going back to a beautiful setting and getting cleaned-up for a fun (and delicious!) dinner and evening. You made a group of strangers feel like family with your thoughtful touches and watchful eye. Thank you for all the effort you put into this trip. I look forward to the next one!” - Mary M.

“What an adventure! Temples and ruins and caves and tunnels and beaches and new sights and sounds! Thank you to the Chamber for making it happen, and especially Linda Schwedock for doing it so well!” - Jim and Edie A.

“The trip to Bali, Java and Singapore was one of the highlights of my travel life! The trip was so well planned; from the flights to the luxury hotels, activities and tours - a testament to the expertise of Linda at Pacific Harbor Travel. Traveling with a smaller group was thoughtful, it allowed us to connect nicely and enjoy the trip without feeling overwhelmed with too many people - and we could not have asked for a better group. The daily schedule was planned to provide time on our own to experience the area or just relax. The trip from start to finish; planning, information and the travel was superb and I will definitely travel again with the Chamber!” -Janell S.

“Laurence and I had a wonderful trip to Bali with the Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce October 2010. The trip exceeded our expectations with exceptional accomodations, beautiful landmarks and wonderful food. Excursions were well planned and led by Balinese guides who skillfully explained the culture and history of their country. In addition, it was fun traveling with local people.” -Laurence & Beth H.

“I thought the trip exceeded my expectations in every way. It went without a hitch...  I loved the trip and have many friends who would love to go now that I’ve told them about it, so I hope you send all of us warning if you open up any future tours.” -Diane S.

“Here is my final picture best photograph. This was a difficult choice, as there are so many wonderful memories. Thank you so very much again for allowing me to be part of such a wonderful adventure.” -Sadie S.

“I didn’t buy enough stuff! I should have bought more!” - Madaline T.

"Going to Indonesia was the first time I had ever been to Asia and I want to commend you on a terrific time! The hotels were 5 star and the staff were my friends after a day. I really enjoyed the the light-hearted atmosphere that we all experienced during the trip and it is something I will never forget!" -Dave M. 

“We had a wonderful and magical time and thank you, Annette and the Chamber for making it possible.” - Dennis N. & Susie S.
