On Tuesday we were eager for a busy day back in the Windy City! Kathleen Dever, Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau-Chicago's regional director of accounts, Midwest, Corporate, Meetings and Incentives, stopped by the Chicago Downtown Marriott to chat with us and learn firsthand about our Spirit of Aloha Tour. Here she is (far left) with Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa's Director of Sales and Marketing Peter Thoene and General Manager Rodney Ito, Marriott Resorts Hawaii Director of National Accounts Margaret Laletin, and Kaua'i Marriott Resort & Beach Club Director of Sales and Marketing Jay Heidenreich.
Kathleen absolutely adored SI (Shave Ice), and her favorite flavor is lemon lime!
We visited the offices of BCD Meetings and Incentives. The Polynesian Cultural Center entertainers charmed the BCD team with their graceful hula hands and Hawaiian melodies.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Shaw's Crab House with Jose Mena of HTC International. Here's (left to right) Jay, Margaret, Jose, Rodney and Peter. Jose gave Margaret three future programs for Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa on Maui.
