Our Owner and Franchisee, Tom Calvin, is a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps. In the Corporate World, Tom spent over 15 years with a major Hotel/Resort Marketing firm. He began his career with that company as a Telemarketer in Scottsdale, Arizona, then worked his way up, becoming a Project Manager, Director of Operations, Director of Sales and Vice-President-Pacific Rim. While living in Manly Beach, Australia, Tom became very familiar with various four and five star properties throughout that Region. He oversaw offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Surfers Paradise and Cairns, Australia; Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Bali and Ujung Pandang, Indonesia; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Singapore. While specializing in Group Cruises, All-Inclusive Resort stays and Group trips throughout the world, he is very happy to work with individuals as well.
Having served as the “Potentate” of El Zaribah Shriners in Phoenix, Arizona during 2011, Tom is a very active member of Shriners International and the Order of Quetzalcoatl, both of which create better lives for children around the world by sending them to Shriners Hospitals for Children. He works diligently raising funds to pay for the transportation of these children to and from the Shriners Hospitals for Children. Tom served as the “Chief Supreme Tlaloc” (CEO) of the Order of Quetzalcoatl during 2023 – 2024.
Although very happy to work with Individuals, Tom specializes in Group Trips and has led numerous Cruises and All-Inclusive Resort stays from 40 people to hundreds throughout Mexico and the Caribbean, including the Western, Eastern and Southern Regions. After a recent trip to Costa Rica, seems Tom has taken on the "Pura Vida" lifestyle. Perhaps no other country has a motto so charming, so universally quoted and so life-affirming as pura vida. It’s Costa Rica’s unofficial national slogan, and you hear it everywhere. The meaning of pura vida, of course, is “happy life,” and it’s come to symbolize the simple, cheerful outlook and lifestyle of what is often called the happiest country in the world. You can say pura vida to mean “thank you,” “you’re welcome,” “that’s great” or “life is good.” The versatility of the phrase is part of its appeal, and it’s a 100% positive expression of pleasure in life lived to its fullest.
