Aloha Hawaiian Vacations (best, hotel, Paris, hotels)

[JoycieM]

We are hoping to be able to go to Hawaii next year. We found the site in the subject line and wondered if anyone has used their agency. Neither of us has ever been there before so we could use any and all advice as to which island is the best to visit. We would like to book an eight day trip. This agency includes some meals and tours, etc, so we are heading in that direction. Also, if we do go in September or October will those be considered " good" times to go?

We do have to consider price, unfortunately. ( Wouldn't it be nice to be able to hop on a plane, book a hotel and not worry about expenses??? )

Life is short and it's time to start working on the "bucket lists."

Thanks in advance!

Hi Joyce. I don't know the answer to your specific question -- but I can offer you a fabulous resource, to find out a ton of info about Hawaii.
The more you know, the better use you can make of any travel agency.
This is TripAdvisor.com, the venue where real travelers report their real experiences at locations, attractions, hotels, restaurants, rides, etc. etc. sometimes including mentions of travel agencies.
Hawaii Travel, Tourism and Hawaii Vacation Reviews - TripAdvisor

If I were you, I'd check with my local Better Business Bureau to find out what the record of that travel agency is with the BBB. I would lso comparison shop -- all it takes is some of your time, and could save you heartache, money and wasted time.

Have a joyous adventure!

October thru December is a nice time to go. We were there last november and had a wonderful time. I'd say forget the packages and just book your tickets, get a place (some will give you a price break for the length of time) and have a ball. We paid 800 for a round trip ticket, spent 500 on meals for the week and then add about 600 for shopping with another 400 for the fun stuff. Oahu has a Denny's, Subway, McD's and other franchises that are not expensive. Drinks such as those imported from the mainland are. Hawaiian produced items are cheaper than the imported ones from the mainland.

haha..it is work planning, but once you're on that plane, it's a blast. You will absolutely love the Ferry to take you to Maui. It's absolutely gorgeous ride. Here's the link:
