Pearl Harbor
The place where America's part in World War II began. Glenn has made the visit many times, and knows how to make the day meaningful and manageable, from timed tickets to the bag rules at the memorial.
Meet your concierge
Meet Glenn
Thirty years on the road, several trips to Hawai‘i, a good sense of humor, and a firm belief that your vacation should be easy on you.
Your travel concierge
A friendly face who knows the way
For more than 30 years, Glenn traveled across North America as a corporate traveler. Airports, rental counters, hotel check-ins, delayed flights, and one more connection to catch: that was his office.
All that hard work had a reward. Vacations were how Glenn relaxed, decompressed and made the long hours pay off, and the place he kept going back to was Hawai‘i. After several trips to the islands, he isn't a tourist who visited once and read the rest in a brochure. He knows Hawai‘i the way you know your own hometown.
Put those together and you get a rare kind of travel concierge. He has the know-how of a man who spent three decades getting from point A to point B on schedule, and he knows exactly what a well-earned vacation should feel like. He knows where to park, where to sit, which stops are worth the walk, and which "must-see" is worth an early alarm. He's been to the top of Haleakalā for sunrise, which meant a midnight wake-up call and a long, cold wait at the summit, so you can trust him when he says to bring a jacket.
Glenn likes a good laugh, and you'll hear plenty on the bus. But he takes the job seriously. You've worked a lifetime for the money you're spending on this trip, and Glenn treats every dollar of it like it matters, because it does.

Help where travel gets hard
The long-distance trip, made easier
The views are the easy part. The hard part of a big trip is usually everything in between. That's where Glenn rolls up his sleeves.
- Luggage: lifting bags, keeping count of them, and making sure every suitcase that left home comes home.
- Airports and long flights: check-in lines, connections, the long walk to the gate, and arranging wheelchair assistance when it's needed.
- The tour bus: a steady hand getting on and off, and help loading and unloading at every stop.
- The little things: knowing where the restrooms, shade and benches are before anyone has to ask.
That's what a concierge is for, and it's exactly why Glenn does it.
Places Glenn knows first-hand
He's been there, and he'll show you
These aren't places Glenn read about. He has visited each one, many of them more than once.
The Punchbowl: National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific
Set inside Punchbowl Crater, the bowl of a long-extinct volcano above Honolulu, this peaceful military cemetery honors thousands of Americans who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Glenn considers it one of the most moving places in the islands, and it pairs naturally with Pearl Harbor.
The Road to Hāna
Hairpin turns, rainforest, waterfalls and more than 40 one-lane bridges. Glenn has crossed every one of them, and he'll tell you the secret to enjoying it: let a local driver handle the curves while you enjoy the view.
Sunrise on Haleakalā
Glenn has made the trip up Haleakalā to watch the sun rise from above the clouds, at over 10,000 feet. It's an early one: up at midnight to make the drive and be at the summit by about 4:30 a.m., settled in before the sky starts to glow. His honest verdict: unforgettable, cold, and worth it. If a midnight alarm isn't your idea of a vacation, a sunset visit is beautiful too, and he'll help you choose.
