We have been literally and figuratively around the travel world. And back. Now we''re here to tell you the tale in our own words. In vacation reviews you''ll find stories about our favorite island vacations, our experiences at these first person accounts of the destinations. From Barbados to St. Barts we’ll tell you what we liked best about our favorite warm weather destinations. In early December, my family and I celebrated our silver anniversary of Caribbean vacationing. It’s been a wonderful 25 years, filled with island adventures from private Bahamian cays to lavish "all-inclusive" Barbados resorts. On our most recent getaway, we visited Mustique, one of the few West Indian destinations previously undiscovered by any Hoey. This Grenadine Island is arguably the most glamorous hideaway in the Caribbean. Royalty and world-class celebrities own lovely homes that border powder-pure sand beaches. Graceful sail yachts float along turquoise waters like dreamy apparitions.

Our Mission More than ten years ago began with an idea. We believed experienced travelers wanted low-cost, high quality travel service. So we designed a discount travel agency with savvy customers in mind. And as we have since 1985, we welcome people who, like us, have a taste for planning their own vacations. Our customers'' research reduces our work, making us a lean, efficient travel enterprise. That enables us to pass on productivity savings to people like you. Judging by our success over the years, our idea has been right on target. This "win-win" situation is what thousands of vacationers want. Today has grown to become America''s leading individual discount travel agency catering to our club.: the prime player in establishing industry-wide standards for agencies, which book cruises.: the world organization of scheduled airlines that''s arguably the single most important group for air travel and land vacations.
