I recently arranged a wonderful eleven day "roots" trip to the Acores for 6 adults & 2 children aged 8 & 10 comprising three generations of my family. It was a fantastic experience that brought us closer together as a family, and gave my grandchildren a window into what my life was like there in 1952. I can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Eunice Costa, who heads the Azores.com office in Santa Cruz, CA, to plan our travel, accommodations, and many of our activities. Her responsive to our varied needs and her knowledgeable advice went beyond competent professionalism - she invested in making our trip a formative experience for my whole family. From flight, transport to & from our three hotel apartments with balconies overlooking the marina in Ponta Delgarda, recommendations for restaurants, arranging for a wonderful tour guide on the island, mountain biking, hiking, swimming with dolphins, whale watching and swimming in a hot spring fed ocean cove in 100* F. I live in RI and contacted a local recommended travel agent also featuring Azorian travel vacations, but did not find a customer centered attitude - it took a few calls and emails just to get a response, and then it was "This is the flight info, here are hotels, this is approx cost" with no attempt to establish why we were going or what we might wish to do once there. Although this agent was only a few miles away geographically, he was a light year away in terms of investing in his customer' s dream. Eunice Costa of Azores.com, while physically clear across the United States, bought into making our family trip a once in a lifetime experience. I can't thank her enough!
