the snowy ski slopes of western canada or europe can represent one of the best value for dol lar purchases you can make if you shop wisely so says lawr ence elliott owner of omniventure travel in the sher wood plaza in mar kham with the exception of perhaps ones home an automobile or perhaps major ap pliances many peo ple spend more on vacation travel dur ing their lifetime than on any other item and yet it is really something that many consumers do not de- cide upon with enough care and attention lawrence advises that when you are laying out hard earned aftertax dol- lars for that special vacation you should visit a professional who will take the time to find out exactly what type of holiday you like and then counsel you on the best value for you during the particular timeperiod you want to travel with ten years ex perience in sales and product develop- ment in the wholesale and tour operator side of the travel industry lawrence says- he draws on that back ground to judge vacation value depending on market trends and many other factors usually there are one or more particular sunspots for exam ple that represent better value for dollar spent to get there pay for the accommoda- tiori and also the money to enjoy one self once you have ar rived as well as most hotels cruise lines tour operators and airlines judge their highshoulderand low seasons just slightly differently it is not uncommon to find that in any given destination one pack age represents a bet ter buy on one date but perhaps another is preferable on a totally different date the reputation of a tour operator is another important point to consider only professional advice can work to wards protecting the consumer from get ting left high and dry george martin of omniventure with over fifteen years as a profession al travel consultant says he enjoys just as much today counsell- ing clients on their vacation as he did when he started however says george i have several hundreds of thousands of miles of travelling under my belt now and many more stamps in my passport to stand on as experience to advise my clients on what is best to fulfill the type of vacation theyre looking for george continues by saying travel really does represent excel lent value for dollar and canadians enjoy bargains in holiday packages when travelling outside of canada compared to what many consum ers in other nations have to pay for a com parable holiday however george is quick to point out that he agrees fully with lawrence that an apparent bargain can turn into a ripoff or holiday disaster if one doesnt spend time with and heed the advice of a profes sional travel agent open six days a week as well as thursdays and fri days till eight omniventure travel offers that professional advice and

in the clear sweet air her valleys draped in lush cool green descend in awe- some magnificence to dip their lava toes into the crashing waves v below her mountains speak of legends and history a spear thrown by king kamehameha the great is said to havetaused the hole in the mountain the much photographed sleeping giant the fictional bali hai filmed for south pacific and the very real mount waialeale the wettest spot on earth and the inaccessible forbid ding na pali range these and other volcanic goliaths dominate kauais landscape and conceal within the islands interior some of the most spectacular scenery in the world aerial tour the only way to see these remote areas is by helicopter several heli- copter tour companies operate on the island compare prices and scope of area covered and look in the many free publications for dis- count coupons for these tours and other attractions be sure to take along lots of film nowhere on earth has nature created so many breathtaking waterfalls languid pools dancing rainbows and sheer rugged beauty as you will discov- er when you fly into this enchanted land take a smooth boat ride on the wailua river to the famous fern grotto where hundreds of wed dings have been performed a pro fusion of sword ferns hang from the moist roof of this mammoth cave while the surrounding jungle cre ates a natural amphitheater with incredible accoustics the haun- tingly lovely hawaiian wedding song sung by the boat crew to an enraptured audience will become a memory to recall time and time again rent a car for the drive to waimea canyon tour buses are inclined to hurry set aside a day for this adventure andenjoy it at a- to park only in these designated areas as some stretches of moun- tain road narrows considerably superlatives spill from the tongue at each new view each more spell binding than the last culminating the skyward drive is kalalau val ley lookout kalalau valley is so spectacular it will rob you of words for itts the most dramatic sweep of valley indescribably the epitome of beauty which stirs up a flood of emotion strangely washed over by serenity it is a loveliness beyond compare upon which to feast the eyes

nicest beaches beaches at kaliha- wai bay anini hanalei and luma- hai and lumahai are all accessible from the road however lumahai where most of south pacific was filmed is only for the surefooted but

lawns set off by exotic- tropical plants and flowers are a gardeners joy to behold my per sonal feeling is that this hotel is too large and impersonal to fill my concept of a hawaiian vacation the sheraton coconut beach hotel fits nicely into the hawaiian theme complete with coconut grove and movie set type rattan furniture in the voyage room where diners feast surrounded by genuine artifacts depicting hawaiis ancient seafarers the sheraton grove also conforms to kauais building code by standing the full height of a coconut tree no higher a comfortable island re treat centrally located in
