More signs.......Hawaii style

Remember: If in Doubt Don't go Out!

It seem that every beach in Hawaii has these signs, well except maybe Waikiki Beach.

Buy on Tuesday afternoon

The best time to buy a ticket is at 3 p.m. Tuesday, according to analysis from Rick Seaney

Most airlines publish their sales on Tuesday afternoon and tend to pull them by Thursday. Buying a ticket from your laptop on Saturday afternoon virtually assures a higher fare.

Fly on Wednesday

The cheapest day to fly domestic is Wednesday. Tuesday and Saturday round out the top three cheapest days to fly. Friday and Sunday, no surprise, are the most expensive.

Be an early bird

Never take the last flight out. Better yet, fly as early as you can. As the day wears on, delays from weather and traffic build up, and flights are canceled. And for those of you who can get up before dawn, the first flights tend to be the cheapest.

Thanks, CNN

I Love.....The Outrigger Reef Hotel in Waikiki





I last stood at the Outrigger Reef in Waikiki two years ago during their renovation. Coming back to Waikiki to see it finished was a joy! The outdoor bar and stage area next to the pool was new. They had top notch local musicians every night. The Shorebird restaurant and Ocean House are so good! The rooms are fantastic and newly decorated. Free internet!! The staff was helpful and friendly. Being located on Waikiki Beach is always a plus. It is in the best location right on the Waikiki Beach Walk. Love it!!

Contact me for more information on this fabulous resort or other in Waikiki

How To Work With A Travel Agent

A travel agent can be your best friend in building the vacation of a lifetime. For some reason, most people think that working with an agent is more expensive than just buying online.

100% Not true!

An agent can save you hundreds of dollars and several hours of frustration. If you’ve never worked with one before, here are some tips on how to get the most bang for your buck.

  1. Do your homework 1st. Narrow down your travel dates within a couple of weeks. Never tell your agent: “I want to go somewhere, someday, somehow”!
  2. Pick a couple of places you’d like to visit. Agents are bombarded with travel deals every hour of every day. If you mention a place, they’ve got a deal!
  3. Use the internet for reference. Get a general idea of what it costs to spend a week at one of the places you like. If you’ve never traveled before, you might not know a good deal when you see it. Educate yourself on typical flight costs, the difference between and 3-star and a 5-star resort, etc... A good agent will help you increase your knowledge about travel.

Travel agents work on commissions paid by cruise lines and other trip suppliers. Some charge an additional fee for their time and expertise but it’s not like hiring a plumber and negotiating to a lower rate. A good agent is just as concerned about your happiness as you are. So if they offer you a balcony stateroom on a cruise, it’s probably because they’ve stayed in the regular rooms before, and know that they don't compare to the balcony!
