I'm going somewhere for the end of April with MrsBish. Seems that some of the Hawaiian islands are less expensive than I originally thought.

Any suggestions? We're looking a beach, an ocean to swin in and possibly scuba-dive in, decent dining and relaxation. Hopefully, not too touristy, ya know?

Thanks for any info :D

Waikiki, Oahu is the main tourist trap ... with white sand beaches, resorts, fine dining, the works. But mostly only tourist hang out there.

If you wanna venture off-island, you'll probably see more of the "real" Hawaii. Some suggestions:

Hawaii island: This is where me & na are. We're on the east side. The west side has more of the white sand beaches & tourists favor that side as its sunnier. Our side doesn't have white sand beaches & it rains more. This island also has the only active volcano in the archepelago & we could be tour guides for you :D

Maui: Go to Lahaina. My family lives there. Beautiful white sand beaches, hot-as-hell weather, lovely resorts that cater to your whim. The works. Oh, and this is a prime whale-watching destination.

That's it for the outer islands. I wouldn't suggest the others, only because they don't really cater to tourist, just small town stuff.
 
Don't forget about that spot that you can only get to by helicopter. Better yet, don't tell him. We'll keep it our secret for my wedding. :D

Yup..plus a wee bit of money put aside. It'll be our first vacation alone in years and our first trip to any warm location ever.

JAg gets to stay with my inlaws for a week while we work on a brother or sister :D
 
so, shall i clear my calendar for the end of april?
we can make our own mini-barbecue :headbang:

if you decide to come to this island, woo-hoo, i'm here already.
if you decide to stay on oahu, woo-hoo, my parents have a house there.
if you decide to go to maui, woo-hoo, my brother has a house there.
:swing:
 
That'd be fantastic Ku'u! Still have to make sure that we can afford it. One of our Airline companies went belly-up last night at midnight, stranding hundreds of passengers. The competition will surely take advantage of this :(

You rolls de dice an you takes y'r chances!

The difference between booking 3 weeks in advance and 3 days in advance s usually on the order of $1000/person. I can't afford to be conservative with my bookings.
