We used Sojourn Travel to plan our honeymoon to Costa Rica and it was wonderful! I had found a…read morepackage I liked through another company that included flights, hotel, transportation, most meals, and a lot of activities. Sojourn was able to make an almost identical itinerary for us with a few things that we were able to change (we wanted to do a slightly different activity one day and we wanted to have a rental car so we could explore more) for several hundred dollars cheaper! Also all the info was sent to us and was very well organized so we did not have to stress at all!

Sam (who's fucking amazing, by the way) helped him chose the perfect adventure for his big day. We ended up going to sticky fingers grow, lamota dispensary, Liberty glass, and ended at the quarter arcade on Hawthorne. Smoking between stops on the bus the entire tour. Sam, and the driver were super professional, and so much fun. We will definitely be taking the bus again. Thanks Sam, you're amazing!!!!

Despite this, Sam, the owner and guide for the trip provided us with an unforgettable experience. We started off with a visit to a dispensary. The staff at the dispensary was extremely knowledgable, and our product was discounted, as we were with a tour. We then stopped for food at food trucks up on the Northeast side of town. We then ventured to Multnomah Falls, which were absolutely beautiful. We ended with a trip to a coffee roaster, and then were dropped back off where were staying. I highly recommend this tour company! Sam was very friendly, knowledgable, and funny. Smoking on the bus was awesome, and the drive to Multnomah Falls was absolutely beautiful.

I just completed my second Kendi World Adventure (Costa Rica, Pacific and Carribean), and it's…read morepure pleasure for me to write this review. Kevin and Andy want you to visit the real people, the real thing, so they will take you to real places. The chosen hotels and restaurants are modest, family run businesses. Excursions and their guides are carefully selected to give you an insight into the country and what makes it tick. Kendi goes all out to pave the way so you can enjoy each moment. And, did I mention how reasonable their prices are? These trips are value packed! If you're used to high end hotels and lazing around a pool all day (There is some of that), this isn't it. The emphasis is on a small group adventure, yet both times I have felt so safe and cared for. Kendiworldadventures.com shows you exactly what you'll do. Just go! Make new friends and/or bring your old ones. Pura vida!

Andi and Kevin (the tour guides and world travelers) have thoroughly vetted this trip so that there are no surprises (except delightful ones!). Picture yourself walking among the thin mists of a rainforest at treetop level or...swaying rhythmically atop a gentle horse as you explore the flanks of a volcano...or having a small, delightful monkey on your shoulder eating banana from your hand. Just as great are the serendipitous moments (getting caught in the rain at an open air market, eating barbequed yucca for the first time, wading in the warm surf while iguanas lounge in beachside trees). I am sure the group I toured with must have been the best in the world (but I am also sure that any group that tours with Kevin and Andi will say the same). Perhaps, the best thing is that it is YOUR tour. It can be as "zip line" exciting or as "lounge by the pool" relaxing as you choose. As they say in Costa Rica, PURA VIDA, the good life !

It will probably seem strange that a video store doubles as a travel agency, but I've seen weirder…read morestuff in Asian communities. The woman behind the operation is Fanny, one of the nicest ladies ever and she has some mean connections in the travel industry. Friends and family have enjoyed many of her great travel deals to Asia. She tends to somehow magically pull out cheaper ticket fares without having to tack on any additional fees or bundle it with tour related stuff. When tickets to Hong Kong were showing as $900 online, she managed to come up with $750 round trip tickets. This also included her service charges, which seemed so unreal to me. The DVD and Video rentals selection could be better. Though I don't come here for the show rentals, but I know plenty who do. The one general complaint most of them had was she didn't carry enough classic stuff that preceded decades worth of TV. In the end, a small local rental store can only carry so much inventory, so don't expect much beyond that. Never hurts to call in ahead of time, though her Chinese (Cantonese) is a lot better than her English. When it comes to travel perks, it's more than likely she'll be able to work a little magic.

She can also be very good for traveling on a budget, which I know everyone is in need of! Brittany has traveled all over the world and if she hasn't been there she has most likely researched it anyways :) Notable trip Brittany planned was my first trip to Europe. We did London--Amsterdam--Dusseldorf--Vienna--Prague in about 15 days. She fit in all the major sites and some super cool venues and restaurants. What I loved about our trip is how much we got to see and do without it being stressful. She also planned an amazing road trip from San Francisco to the Los Angeles surrounding areas. One of my favorite trips that I still talk about today! So with that said, no matter how far or near you want to go- Brittany will make it memorable!

Silver Star Travel, while I'm sure they'll send you on a great vacation, (who doesn't like going on vacation?) will absolutely refuse to share any detail about your experience before hand. I had a terrible experience with one Dawn Brandon. I thrive on details. I want to know what I'm spending my money on. When I receive an itinerary with nothing more than a grand total, I'm inclined to ask questions. I imagine most people would. Ask about a place? They'll send you an itinerary. When you ask about the itinerary, they send you another itinerary. When you ask very specific questions about what it is you're looking at in the itinerary, surprise! They'll send you another itinerary. I was fortunate enough to be paying enough attention, as we almost got sent to the wrong resort, for no other reason than the agent having poor reading comprehension and I suspect a bit of a problem reading and speaking in full sentences. Once we got the right resort in the itinerary, and then after four more attempts, the right room type in the itinerary (she didn't know what rooms the resort had, nor did she know anything about them, nor what the resort included, or the variation in price between the different rooms, something she could have researched in 15 minutes to help us find the right one - I had thought that's what travel agents do), we compared her exact trip to places like Expedia, Costco Travel, Hotwire, Tripadvisor, even just booking myself through the airline and through the resort itself. Every one of these places beat their price, and every one of them knew that the resort was actually going through construction at the moment, and that the room we had chosen would be within earshot of some construction noises. Something a trained travel agent shouldn't have had a problem with, unless they're just more interested in you biting onto the carrot they're dangling. They'll trick you into thinking that they've price checked. They haven't. They'll trick you by telling you things about the resort that are incorrect, or that don't exist. I probably shouldn't have compared her to a fast food worker unceremoniously shoveling french fries into a cardboard container. Sorry about that. I would have spent twice as much money if I'd have known what I was getting. The details are all I wanted. If you're a boomer, or moderately wealthy, or perhaps just only slightly ignorant, and willing to hand over a chunk of your money without actually knowing what you're spending it on, I'm sure you'll enjoy handing your money over to Silver Star. I'm sure they'll enjoy taking it too. After all, who doesn't like going on vacation? Who wants to wonder about what you could have actually had once the money trades hands? Happy to share the contents of my discourse with Dawn if anyone is interested. The story will speak for itself.

The visitor center itself has some informational displays about the history of the fort, as well as the archeological excavation process and how the fort became a national historic site. There is a section with animal and spirit masks by a Native American artist. The gift shop has a lot of books and literature for sale, along with the usual post cards, NPS patches, etc. It is somewhat small though. Large picture windows give a view of the grass and large trees. The trees obscure the view of the fort, so you have to make your way down to check it out!

I did not think the gift ship was much, very small. But there is an excellent 16 minute video that is incredibly interesting and well done. If you visit, be sure to see the video.
