I’m Maria Coesens and I live in the Northwest Valley for 21 years. I moved here from Lihue, Hawaii two years after Hurricane Iniki destroyed the island. My travel experience consists of three years on the Independence and Constitution cruise ships touring the Hawaiian Islands managing the gift shops.   Also, have worked for TWA, Alaska and Horizon Airlines for six years.  My husband and I have owned T T M Travel/Sand & Flip Flop Getaways for 14 years.
