Testimonials

Thank you so much for the first trip that you have organized for us; we will certainly have you organize many more. The first class and business class flights to Paris and the Marriott hotel stays definitely maximized the value of our Marriott points. You have spoiled us and we may never want to fly coach again. The 5 days at the Champs-Elysees Marriott contributed to a fantastic sightseeing tour of Paris. We enjoyed the 17 day France river cruise that you recommended with Avalon so much that we are already planning our next one. And finally, the 3 days at the Monaco Marriott provided a very relaxing end to a wonderful journey. Thank you for everything you did to make this a memorable trip and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Thank you so much for planning our UK vacation. We absolutely, undoubtedly could not (and wouldn't want to) have planned this memorable "Marriott vacation" without your help, guidance, suggestions, phone calls, emails, etc, etc. You gave us 100% attention and we felt like we were your only clients...you gave us the "Royal Treatment" and look forward to our next vacation.

We had been struggling to get the most out of our Marriott timeshares, until we were introduced to Pam Keystone.  She has fantastic inside knowledge of Marriott and Interval International and knows how to get the most out of their systems.  We had not been able to get into our Marriott Mountainside week for March 2010.  Within two weeks of signing up with Pam and taking advantage of her strategies, we were booked!  Pam has also recommended and helped us purchase an inexpensive additional Marriott week, so that we will not have this problem in future years.

Pam is helping us see the world, much more easily and more cost efficiently than we ever thought possible.  She is a fabulous resource and critical to our vacation planning success.

"We met with Pam last February while vacationing in Scottsdale. It took us about three minutes to know that her services were for us. I was always struggling with "the system". Her knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail are amazing. Just recently we decided to trade a week of our time to Aruba. Pam took care of the request for us and in less than 3 weeks we were confirmed. We look forward to many more vacations arranged by Pam in the future. "Ownership Simplified" is an understatement when it comes to Pam and The Art of Vacationing."

"Kudos to your website. It is very professional and contains so much great information. I know it was taking you a long time to complete it but it seems very well worth it. I know I will be using it often."

"As you know, we have been Marriott owners for over five years. During this time we have never ventured successfully using the exchange system until we met with your expertise. Come this spring we will be fulfilling a dream come true as you have helped us plan our trip to Hawaii. You have arranged the complete trip for us incorporating our airline miles, Marriott points and the Interval trade."

"We are fortunate that Pam Keystone has come into our lives and we now consult with her for all of our vacation planning. Her advice helps us to navigate the maze of timeshare information which is often overwhelming. Pam is a consummate professional who is not only knowledgeable but is dedicated and sensible in her approach."

"Pam Keystone's extensive knowledge, experience and resources provide valuable information, as well as cost savings for her clientele. Her organizational skills, high standard and excellent service could benefit even the most experienced timeshare owner. The Art of Vacationing truly is "Ownership Simplified"."

"Pam's The Art of Vacationing took the worry and frustration out of our trying to cobble together our Marriott Reward Points and airline Frequent Flyer miles for a wonderful trip to Paris. Pam was able to get us a week at Marriott's Champs Elysees property and the Frequent Flyer miles to get us there WHEN the room was available, no mean feat. And she did so on relatively short notice. We had a great time in Paris and didn't have to worry about the travel details."

"I have been exploring on your Art of Vacationing website and it is amazing. Being educated in the 20th century, my computer skills are not above the norm but your website is very friendly to the user."

"When we decided to plan our trip to Portugal and Majorca for 2009, it was obvious that we needed some help. We had points from 3 companies, plus Marriott reward points and timeshare weeks. Fortunately for us, we knew Pam and asked her for some help. We now have a totally planned, month long vacation, including plane, hotel and car reservations.....all handled by "The Art of Vacationing". We recommend her company if you want a complete trouble free package."

"Dreaming about upcoming vacations is always fun. Then the frustrating tedium of transferring points, black out dates, rules and regulations, innumerable contacts...  the fun is gone. Thanks so much, Pam, for listening to our dreams, and then doing the hard part, so we could anticipate the fun."

"WE WILL BE BACK! Our experience with Pam's planning for our vacation to Tokyo and back via our home resort, Canyon Villas at Desert Ridge was fast, easy, and first rate. We were extremely frustrated novice vacation planners. We thought we knew what we were doing to use our Marriott points, but guess not. We will be flying business class to Tokyo, Phoenix then back to Wisconsin, carefree, because of Pam. Thank you."

"Pam has taken the octopus system of Marriott timeshare ownership to a level of simplistic vacationing. She presents all of your options, quickly with the knowledge of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Nice job and Thanks."

"I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for getting our Florida vacation arranged; things around here begin to look even more bleak about the middle of February.  Also, Beverly and I want you to know how pleased we are with your concept and your service.  Any one who has tried to wade thru the Marriott/Interval morass should be more than happy to have you take care of them for your most reasonable cost.  Thanks again for everything."

"We have found Pam Keystone to be an invaluable resource as we have dealt with a number of complex time share issues.  She is knowledgeable, thorough, responsive and easy to relate to.  Working with her has taken much of the hassle out of vacation planning as well as saving us time and money."
