Hawaii

girls can you tell me whether you booked the trip through a travel agent or on your own. And how much do you think i should budget..? Any info would be helpful. TIA

Re: Hawaii

We booked through a travel agent which I would recommend doing because of the travel insurance. As for the price it really depends on what types of hotels you are staying at.

Re: Hawaii

Booked through travel agent. As for budget, it all depends on where you're going, how long and the time of year (whether it's peak season or not).

Re: Hawaii

we did it on our own...if you have been there before it's easier

Re: Hawaii

We used a travel agent...if you have a budget then they can work with you within it...some tips we found out:

If you stay at a hotel, the views you have from your room can make the room rate go up a LOT. We booked mountainview rooms for a lot less then oceanview...same rooms exactly. When we got there, they offered us oceanview rooms for only $50 more per night.. a lot less than if we had originally booked the oceanview rooms.

If you stay at a condo, it is much less than staying at a hotel....when DH and I go back (I hope SOON-loved it!!) we are going to stay at a condo to save $$$.

Give yourself a day when you get there, to get used to the time difference...I had jet lag really bad and it took some time to get used it.

We booked everything through AAA. And our price was $6000. We got a great deal. We stayee at the Hyatt in Honolulu and in Maui. And breakfast was included. And that included airfare and car rental in maui. And it also inluded a few activites. So we really got a great deal!
