Planning
Your Trip
| Hawaii's
attraction and lure can strike us at any time. A daily
event may trigger memories of a previous trip. The picture
of a beautiful beach in a magazine or newspaper may recall time
spent on golden sand beaches in Hawaii. Perhaps a sunset at
home makes us recall a beautiful sunset off Waikiki or one of the
neighbor islands. Soon the thought of Hawaii sunsets,
beaches, trade winds, palm trees, blue skies, and Island aloha
have us planning a trip. Check out the basics below in
arranging your trip, especially if you haven't been to Hawaii

On-line travel sites don't always list the
lowest fares or the most convenient travel itineraries. They are
often biased because some give preference to airlines that advertise with
them and some of them omit the low-fare airlines. Good deals can be
found on the sites, but the only way you can be sure you have one is to
check multiple sites. We check them regularly but sometimes find better
fares on an airline’s web site than those listed on Expedia or
Travelocity.
