The Dove's Pacific Coastal Cruise

On May 31, 2009 Unique Travel Concepts planned a cruise for us with Royal Caribbean that we will never forget.


The ship left from Los Angeles and its first port of call was San Francisco. We purchased two tours one to the Muir Woods and the other tour was to Alcatraz.
This is our view from the boat taking us to Alcatraz.

Our next tour was to the Muir Woods we were awe struck by the beautiful redwoods.

Our next Port that we stopped at was Victoria, British Columbia. We went to Buchart Gardens and had a picnic.



Here are some pictures of what we saw at Buchart Gardens








Our last Port of call was Seattle. This city is amazing and we took many pictures here are a few

Why Travel Insurance is Worth the Price

With times so uncertain, it's especially important today to be prepared for the unexpected. Travel Insurance's additional cost (typically 10%) of the trip total cost will seem like a bargain if you have to cancel or interrupt your vacation.

Unique Travel handles many Travel Insurance Policies. One in particular is CSA. This is what CSA covers:

  • Medical Referral - if an emergency occurs during a trip that requires you to visit a doctor, CSA has an Emergency Hotline to obtain the names of local qualified doctors who speak your language.
  • No Out-of Pocket Medical Expense - If you develop an acute illness while on your trip and use the in-network physician they gave you, the assistance provider will schedule the medical visit and guarantee payment to the physician for a one-time medical visit not to exceed $1,000.00.
  • Trip Cancellation Benefits - Benefits will be paid up to the Maximum Benefit Amount purchased to cover an Insured for the Published Penalties and unused non-refundable prepaid expenses for Travel Arrangements when an insured is prevented from taking his or her trip. The following are the some of the reasons:
  • Death of an Insured or Family Member
  • A Sickness or injury involving an Insured, Traveling Companion or Family Member
  • An Insured or Traveling Companion being hijacked, quarantined to name a few.
  • An Insured or Traveling Companion's place of residence being rendered inhabitable by burglary, fire, flood, volcano, earthquake, hurricane or other natural disaster within 10 days of departure.
  • Bankruptcy or Default of an airline, cruise line, or tour operator or Travel Supplier.
  • Traveling Companion Assistance - If a Traveling Companion loses previously-made travel arrangements due to your medical emergency, the assistance provider will arrange for your Traveling Companion's return home.
  • Emergency Cash Transfer
  • Legal Referral
  • Replacement of Medication and Eyeglasses
  • Embassy and Consular Services

Upgrades may be available to cover pre-existing conditions and cancel for any reason.

Purchasing Travel Insurance from Unique Travel will allow you to book your trip with the peace of mind that if any emergency does occur you are covered.

Kayaking Adventures


Unique Travel Concepts planned a wonderful Kayaking adventure for us. San Diego to Yosemite.



Day 1-3 - At the left we are about to launch our kayaks into the bay near Santa Barbara! We stayed at a great hotel that had a beach that we launched our kayaks from...





Day4-6 - We stayed at Bass Lake. It took two days to conquer the whole lake. There was an abundance of wildlife, an eagle soared overhead, a racoon was swimming in the lake and tried to hitch a ride until he saw me and thought twice about it.

If you would like a Kayaking trip call Unique Travel they do an awesome job.

Wasko's adventure




One of our most recent traveler's took his first cruise. We were able to match him with a fantastic price on a cruise in and out of San Diego. Since it was his first "time" at sea, we had him sample a great 5 day cruise. We matched his travel dates with a great price, armed him with lots of good information, proper documentation, while he supplied the sense of adventure and off he went......



Here he is with new found friends...


He is back at work, with fond memories and thinking of taking another trip soon!
