Isle of Skye, Scotland

Drama at the Edge of the Highlands

Skye demands a completely different photographic approach—it thrives in moody, unpredictable weather. Rugged volcanic cliffs, deep blue lochs, and sweeping hills are constantly painted by fast-moving storms. When the clouds finally break over the dramatic rock pinnacles, the resulting contrast of harsh shadows and intense, wet landscape textures makes for an incredibly powerful, cinematic frame.

Our travel agent, Erich Weldon, was awesome. Made all the reservations for us, sent us the confirmation information and directions. He made sure all the perks and extras were confirmed for this reservation. He even contacted us the day before to make sure we did not have any questions. I will definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

My Unforgettable Birthday Thanks to Erich!

I can’t say enough about how amazing Erich is as a travel advisor! I’d never used one before, but after this experience, I can’t imagine planning a special trip without him. For my birthday, I wanted to do something memorable—so I reached out to Erich and asked if he could help plan a night in Waikiki while I was in town to see Chicago on Broadway. From the very beginning, he was so friendly, responsive, and genuinely excited to help make my birthday special.

Erich recommended the Halekulani, so we booked it. Every detail was taken care of in ways that totally blew me away. When I got to my hotel room, not only was there a bottle of champagne waiting for me (such a fun surprise!), but there was also a handwritten note from the general manager wishing me a happy birthday. And get this—my room was upgraded to a King ocean front, and the room number was 1202—my birthday is 12.02! I have no idea if that was a coincidence or Erich’s magic, but it made me smile so much.

Erich even called the hotel ahead of time to make sure everything was set up perfectly. Since he knew my show was at 8:00 pm, he reserved me a table at House Without a Key at 5:30 pm, which was just incredible. I’d also mentioned in passing that I’ve been trying to get a Sunday brunch reservation at Orchids for over a year, but they’re always booked months in advance. Somehow, Erich worked his magic and got me a reservation with just a couple weeks’ notice! That brunch was honestly the cherry on top of an already perfect weekend.

What I really appreciated was how easy it was to reach Erich and how much he genuinely cared about making sure everything was just right. He thought of things I never would have even considered, and I felt so taken care of every step of the way.

If you’re on the fence about using a travel advisor, seriously, just talk to Erich. I’m already looking forward to planning my next adventure with him. Thank you, Erich, for making my birthday in Waikiki absolutely unforgettable!

Booking with Erich has been an easy and consistently great experience. He’s extremely responsive, transparent, and takes the time to truly understand my needs and budget. For my Italy trip, he provided a wide range of thoughtfully curated options—everything from hotels with or without breakfast, welcome drinks, and special-occasion dinners, to air and transfer options—so every decision felt intentional and well informed.

Erich has strong insight into special deals and perks I wouldn’t have found on my own, saving me a significant amount of time, effort, and money. His correspondence is always on point, and he’s incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process.

This is already the third trip he’s planned for me, and each one has been seamless. What really stands out is how invested he is—he seems just as excited about my travel as I am. Efficient, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. Highly recommend.

Erich was incredibly easy to work with and provided multiple options for tours and accommodations, which helped us choose what best fit our budget, style, and interests. He put together a well-thought-out itinerary in a short amount of time, and we are truly grateful.

Thank you, Erich, for making our trip to Morocco such a memorable experience. I highly recommend him as a partner for your travel planning needs!

The Hawaii Emergency Nurses Association engaged Erich to coordinate travel arrangements and secure group bookings for our 2026 Learning Congress, and his services exceeded all expectations. From the beginning, Erich demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attention to detail, ensuring a seamless process for our association.

For the group rates, Erich presented several well-researched options from area hotels, with clear explanations of each choice. Ultimately, the board selected the Ala Moana at Mantra, and Erich made the contract process incredibly easy. He worked diligently with hotel leadership to secure valuable concessions for our group, including the removal of resort fees and reduced parking costs.

Erich also handled travel arrangements for our speakers with the utmost care. He personally contacted each speaker to ensure their flights, rental vehicles, and accommodations were fully arranged. Even when one speaker requested to stay outside the group block, Erich facilitated the process without any disruption. His ability to anticipate needs and resolve challenges quickly made him a trusted and invaluable partner throughout the planning process.

I highly recommend Erich for any group or corporate event planning needs. His professionalism, communication skills, and transparency set him apart in the travel industry, and we are truly grateful for his support in making our event a success.

Our association’s stay at the Ala Moana at Mantra during the 2026 Learning Congress was a pleasant experience, and I want to commend the hotel and its staff for their professionalism and hospitality. From the start, the hotel leadership was communicative and efficient, ensuring the contract process was smooth and timely.

The hotel itself was clean, modern, and well-maintained, with updated amenities that made our stay comfortable. The on-site restaurant was a convenient feature, especially for guests arriving late and needing a quick meal. Additionally, the location is ideal—just across the street from the Ala Moana Mall, offering easy access to shopping and dining, and only a short distance from the beach and the convention center. It’s a perfect balance of convenience and proximity without being in the middle of Waikiki’s hustle and bustle.

The rooms were spacious, clean, and aligned with what one would expect from a 3.5-star property, offering a comfortable place to unwind after long conference days. During our stay, the island had just experienced a significant storm, which caused some challenges with the elevators. However, the hotel staff effectively managed the situation by utilizing service elevators to minimize wait times and ensuring prompt assistance for guests. Their responsiveness in a difficult situation was commendable.

Overall, the Ala Moana at Mantra is an excellent choice for anyone looking to stay near Waikiki and the convention center. Its combination of convenience, cleanliness, and professional service makes it a reliable option for group events or leisure travel.

We had a wonderful experience working Erich for our trip to Tokyo. He helped arrange a hotel that was clean, comfortable, and incredibly convenient—just steps from the subway, which made getting around the city easy.

One of the highlights of our trip was the samurai lesson he organized. The kids absolutely loved it—it was engaging, unique, and such a memorable experience for our whole family. Thanks to the easy access to public transportation, we were also able to explore the city with ease, including visiting three different Pokémon Centers, which was a huge hit with the kiddos.

Overall, we’re very grateful for his help and would highly recommend his services!

What can I say about my travel advisor Erich Weldon. This ended up being a trip of my dreams. I have never experienced such luxury. Everything was planned out. All I had to do was pack my suitcase. I didn’t have to plan anything. It was the most amazing experience. Tours were booked. Taxis were booked. Tickets were booked. Experiences were booked. I just told Erich what I thought would make me happy and he was like a “fairy godfather.” Erich booked experiences. We met Fulvia at the Trionfale market to buy ingredients to make our lunch. She drove us to her country home where we learned to make raviolis and stuffed zucchini flowers. We luxuriated in her gardens with fragrant flowers, jasmine, honey, and cherry trees. We had another experience of Italian dinner party in Treveste with Barbara. Two private day tours to the Almalif Coast and Tuscany. We had private tours that got us into the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Vatican without having to wait in long queues. Our tour guides were experienced and had the answers to our questions and were able to navigate us around the sites with ease. We had reservations at restaurants that were a culinary delight and had the views to match. Without Erich’s strategic planning and analysis of our needs, we would have never experienced Italy in such a myriad of ways. In addition Erich goes above and beyond. Our flight was canceled the day before we were to leave, due to a strike. We are in a different time zone and contacted Erich at 5 AM our time, probably midnight his. We panicked. He took over. We were able to get a flight that night and booked into a wonderful, wonderful hotel. He even made sure we got a car service from the airport directly to the hotel. We had no worries at all on this trip he made everything effortless and seamless, and you couldn’t ask for more. I would never hesitate to use his services or to refer him to anybody. I know I tell everybody all I had to do was PACK MY SUITCASE. Isn’t that a real vacation?
