Nice blog! I was lucky enough to visit Hawaii when my son was stationed at Hickam AFB. I would love to climb Diamond Head again and yes, I got the certificate that verifies I made it all the way to the top!! I will definitely visit this site again before my next trip and thanks to your money saving ideas it will be sooner than later.

I receive your newsletter and am planning first trip for Feb or March. Plan to spend seven days on big island five on Maui and. Based on your review, a quick one day to visit pearl harbor. Do u use travel agents or randomly select hotels
We don’t personally use a travel agent when we travel to Hawaii. We choose based on where we think a hotel will have a wide appeal to our audience. Then we write very detailed reviews of where we stay along with real, unstaged photos so that our readers will get a good idea of what the hotel is really like.
My wife and I recently stayed at the Cliffs in Kauai and I have one tip for all travelers heading to the island, RENT A CONDO! The condos at The Cliffs are amazing because we had our own kitchen so we didn’t have to eat out every meal. We stopped at local taco stand, The Tropical Taco and we spent $15.00 per taco. The tacos were amazing but if we had to eat out ever meal like that we would have ended up spending a ton of cash on going out to eat. So I recommend renting a condo with your own kitchen.
We are going to Honolulu then Maui what are you recommendations for five adults and three children under 8? Best things the kids would love!
