This blog needs to see more action (this is mostly my fault...I've been busy??). Today I am writing about VACATION. The husband and I love to travel. That man will spend thousands on vacations, but has a temper tantrum when I come home with
Two of our favorite vacations are trips to Las Vegas and Cruises, because you can do both of those things on any kind of budget, at any time of year, for any number of days and it will be fabulous. So keep an eye out for more posts on those two places! But today, today is about:
HAWAII
We went to Oahu, Hawaii in April of 2013, for a week and it was absolutely amazing. We stayed at The Marriott Ko Olina http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/hnlko-marriotts-ko-olina-beach-club/ it was seriously the most beautiful place, everyone needs to visit this resort!
The Marriott Ko Olina really made our trip so much better than it already was. Max likes experiences and would be so happy at The Holiday Inn, but I love, love, love nice resorts. And we all know if I am happy, we are all happy, right? The food was amazing, they had spacious condo so we bought food and cooked or BBQ'd which was awesome. Starbucks was onsite (yes please!!) and they had a private beach...yes, private beach, hotel guests only. I liked the resort, because we could come home after a long day and still have a really nice night on our nice safe resort property because there was so much to do on-site. Nothing creeps me out more than exploring places I don't know after the sun goes down. I know, a little weird, a little paranoid. I'm not a big risk-taker. Deal with it, my husband does :)
We explored Hawaii everyday. We went hiking, we ate local food cart food, we found beautiful beaches with no one around, we went whale-watching on fancy boats, we went to a cute little Luau. Hawaii is fabulous.
I think everyone should go to Hawaii at least once. But lets go over some tips.
1. Prepare for the flight...that sucker is long.
2. Rent a convertable and then stay off the freeways during rush hour. I thought Hawaii would be this cute little place with rural roads...it's not. Find the cute backroad style freeways, those are better.
3. Go when you can spend. Hawaii is a beautiful, gorgeous, expensive paradise.
Splurge a little, it's fun.
4. Stay for at least a week. We went for six nights and I think that was a little short.
Hope you enjoyed Hawaii as much as I did!!
Stay tuned for my next post...Vegas...one of my very favorite places!!!
